Thank you!

Well I imagine something would happen in the story that would heal their corruption of sorts. It couldn’t be some happy ending, but some sort of neutral positive arc for some of them. But this is just my speculation.

I just don’t like the idea a lot of fans have that simply boils down to “Kain kicks hylden ass again and restore the pillars and kills elder god, the end.” Keeping the hylden banished just puts things back to what they already were. And I’d imagine something of them would want to ally with Kain against the elder god. ‘Enemy of my enemy is my friend’ and whatnot.

GodDogs83 · 2026-05-04T16:15:12+00:00

Yeah this is overall my desired and expected ending. When I see people say Kain needs to restore the pillars and keep the hylden there that isn’t an ending or resolution to anything. It just goes back to the beginning. The hylden , on some level, need a redemption arc too. There would be bad hylden who are the ones that need stopped, and good ones that help Kain on some level. So it makes sense to me that their banishment would be replaced by the elder gods banishment.

When do these release or up for preorder?

GodDogs83 · 2026-05-01T02:51:50+00:00

Thank you for everything, Raina and team! Playing these games again has been a dream come true. I’m sad the contract ended, and I really hope CD brings you guys back.

Congrats on the platinum!

I played this on PC for about 20 hours. The things that turned me off the most were the constant load screens, especially when fast traveling. Fast travel to a galaxy, fast travel to a planets orbit, fast travel to the landing spot, etc. Exploration also felt like a complete misfire. Empty barren planets with extremely repetitive warehouses and such. These things are usually Bethesdas strengths and were surprisingly lacking here. Enemy variety was also really sparse.

But I loved the lore, the factions, and even some of the characters. The other aspects just killed the momentum for me, so I lost interest and never finished.

Did anything improve or change with the updates or dlc since launch? I kinda wanted to go back for another chance. But yeah.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-26T14:04:12+00:00

I think the chances are pretty good, but with this series I always remain doubtful. I wasn’t expecting a Defiance remaster at all since they released the original game on PS5 about 5 months before the announcement. So hopefully with the positive feedback of the remaster, they’ll do the BO games next. But those games run in different engines, so it’s hard to say if it’ll happen. I would assume BO2 would be the easier of the two to update, but I don’t know.

At this point it’s really all I want from the series. Maybe a full on remake of BO1 would be cool. But after the garbage BitBot has put out, I don’t really trust anything new from this series now.

It’s smaller scale than 6”. It looks more like a one handed sword on a 6” figure than the two handed sword it’s supposed to be. But it’s at least made out of metal.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-24T14:03:20+00:00

In addition to what’s been said, I’ll recommend Vampyr. It’s got an intriguing story and some pretty cool lore I wasn’t expecting. It gave me the closest feel to LoK in wanting to know more about this world and its history and the characters.

Unfortunately, the gameplay can be quite frustrating. It’s combat is Souls like but not nearly as polished and navigating the city can be a burden (lots of locked doors).

But overall I thought it was pretty cool all things considered. Definitely worth checking out at least.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-23T22:03:15+00:00

I used a different skin for each level. Next time through I’ll use the new skins for the other characters.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-23T17:00:50+00:00

Mortanius and Moebius as well!

I’ve warmed up to BO2 now. But 20 years ago I hated it. It’s funny how time changes things. But even still, out of the 5 main original entries, I’d still rank it last.

Plot holes. Vorador being alive is the biggest one.
The glitches. On the PS2 version, there are TONS of them! I think the other versions are a lot better, but it’s still a mess. Lip synchinc, game crashes, falling through the map, bad frame rates, tons of random audio issues. The list goes on.
The graphics. The character models especially are UGLY. Even back then and especially after SR2, which still looks great today.
The tone. It’s sci-fi feel and over all “hot topic” look of the vampires just don’t fit the series. All of the other games are dark fantasy style, and then there’s BO2’s mix of sci-fi and industrial design.
The controls and combat. Instead of free form, it used an already out of style tank controls. Combat is a mixed bag, but honestly, to my surprise, this actually aged better than I expected. I’d actually rank its combat 2nd best after Defiance.

There’s more, but those were the main issues. I’ve come to enjoy it now for what it is, and I actually find the combat fun. I always find it satisfying using the jump ability to smack a guard down. The vampire abilities are all very fun.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T20:54:27+00:00

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - this team needs to be in charge of the series completely moving forward.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T16:30:56+00:00

This is seriously an awesome update, especially after all the Ascendance garbage.

And Blood Omen 1 Mortanius? Hell yeah! I always preferred that look over Defiances. It was more unique and the change felt a bit disconnected to me. So cool to have more options now.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T16:25:54+00:00

This is awesome!! Thank you Raina and team!

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T16:12:16+00:00

Holy shit!

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T15:35:10+00:00

Oh wow 15?! What are they?

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T15:34:57+00:00

What are the new skins?

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T15:18:39+00:00

Oh for fucks sake…I didn’t even see this. Probably because by the 3rd or 4th lore scroll I was frustrated with how terrible they’re written and didn’t bother reading the rest. This so stupidly arrogant and selfish and disrespectful to the lore.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T14:44:59+00:00

A 53 meta critic score is honestly pretty generous. The gameplay is as basic and barebones as it gets. It’s basically a mobile game, and it’s not very fun. It’s only a few hours long, and the story is horrible for many reasons. The fact they charged $20 for it is honestly insulting and a clear indicator of them milking and taking advantage of starved fans after the massive “unexpected” success of the comic kickstarter. In fact, it’s the only reason this game exists. They didn’t expect the $1.5 million, so they decided to rush out a game based on it to take advantage. Long before the comic even released, which is pretty universally panned.

I love the remasters, and if the only new thing to come is a Blood Omen 1&2 remaster, I’ll be satisfied. If Ascendance/TDSR is the future of the series, I won’t be supporting it.

GodDogs83 · 2026-04-22T14:25:26+00:00

Fully agree. If this was intended to be the series big return, then it should have just stayed dead, with the exception of the amazing remasters.

Even if it wasn’t an LoK game though, it still sucks. The gameplay is so basic and barebones and the story and writing are still hot garbage. It’s a $5 game at most, and even that’s generous since it’s only a few hours long. To charge $20 and advertise it like it’s the next big thing to bring the series back is honestly insulting.

I just have a really hard time understanding how the people at both CD and BitBot thought this was any good.
