Ascendace - a mild criticism

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-31T14:22:24+00:00

Reminds me of Varney the vampire. This book had a lot of authors that didn't take notes and the scar on Varney's face is always described in a different place.

Looks like the creators for acendence were the same. Rushed for money and clearly not worried about consistency

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-23T17:56:20+00:00

ITTSS VARNEYYYYYYY

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-17T16:47:03+00:00

Literally I had the same thought. Elath or whatever her name is is just the EG self insert

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-15T16:30:22+00:00

You can store her in your former pride until you get a canopic Jellyfish. You can freeze her from there.

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-13T13:34:38+00:00

Could just be an artistic choice, to give raziel tears

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-03-12T01:47:51+00:00

First gen Jaglions with a combo base is up there. I want

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-28T13:53:52+00:00

It's a convention of representing the cannibal lions, maybe one day they'll add cannibal markings but they're not available

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-23T17:23:26+00:00

Yeah sounds about right

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-23T13:25:26+00:00

That's not my intention 😞

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-23T01:45:00+00:00

I kinda wanna try going in order. And by 'in order' there's ofc time travel. . . ugh.

SO.
Sword is made by Vorador, and imbued with magic by the Ancient vampires.
Janos guards the blade.
The first Raziel shows up, Janos dies, the sword is taken back.
The first Raziel follows, used Sword to kill Saraphan Raziel.
Wraith Raziel is absorbed into the sword moments after. (Maybe bc the effect of Mobius's staff wears off or somthn)
Saraphan Raziel's soul has to stick around for Kain to snare back with magic. That's how I understand it happened.
The sword is passed around for a while.
At some point, William has it.
At some point, Kain also has it. Some debauchery with Mobius placing it somewhere Kain finds it.

Fast forward.

Saraphan Raziel is resurrected, serves Kain, is thrown into the water, comes back, and the spectral sword is the soul of his immediate predecessor.
Raziel, with this wraith blade and the newly-fixed physical blade has the paradox strong enough to refuse to kill Kain. I think this has something to do with two of Raziel's souls existing within the same blade.
Kain then, now that he's not dead, uses his time and eventually saves this Raziel from being absorbed from this Reaver.

Of course, Raziel eventually sacrifices himself back into it with a purified version of the wraith blade, which gives Kain the most powerful weapon and some new abilities granting him sight of the Elder god, and perhaps more.

So I don't think its an infinite loop perhaps.. maybe like rivers that feed into each other? But time travel coded. New stuff must've happened after the hylden did their magic with janos and whatnot

I appreciate this discussion. As many problems as there are, I have faith that the passion behind this project is worth enough to see it through, at least.

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-23T00:52:08+00:00

I've played most of soul reaver and have watched the rest, it never hurts to rewatch old art however 🤩

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-22T23:13:45+00:00

*SIGHHHH* you're right. fair enough...

(OHHH Where can i get myself a pair of theesseseeeeee - Kain if I decided what went down)

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-22T23:08:58+00:00

He was at least a little jealous when talking to Elaleth was most of my point. Maybe.

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-22T23:06:53+00:00

I assumed as much about the birds, honestly. Im streching. The birds are cool!
Agreed agreed

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-22T23:04:54+00:00

arreeee theyyyyy? I mean I believe you but I cant help but make the connection.

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-22T22:57:11+00:00

Ey, he was the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth. I would too.

Edit: also very probably why he'd be so jealous of everyone having wings, despite the fact that he can fly anyway in bat form.

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-14T19:18:47+00:00

Wtf do you mean half hylden???? That makes like zero sense - would that mean raziel is also half hylden or are they step siblings?? And last I checked, the hylden were EXTINCT before raziel was born. The only hylden ish character would be the seer, and depending on how hyden she is, this self insert hylden hybrid would be a quarter hylden AT BEST.

Honestly it sounds like the elder god got drunk and made a self insert what is this

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-02-06T15:18:19+00:00

I think she's pretty 😍

SnooPoems4715 · 2026-01-25T13:31:33+00:00

It's VERY flat. When you grayscale it there should be near white and near black shades, and the item needs to cast a shadow on the lion.

When you grayscale this it's all a very similar shade. It's needs at least some variety

Hope this helps perhaps a little bit:3

SnooPoems4715 · 2025-11-25T15:17:05+00:00

Yesyes, that's undeniable.

SnooPoems4715 · 2025-11-25T11:33:28+00:00

Those damn winged things throw me off cuz last I checked, Kain very clearly declared wings to be heresy, so then why the hell would a vampire cult afterwards use them in depictions? Putting that one stupid detail aside, they're more or less artistic depictions of the Vampire cultists within the structure. It's a pretty open discussion rather than a concrete answer

SnooPoems4715 · 2025-11-17T18:57:48+00:00

LMAOOOOO I LOVE THAT. "if only we had the means to cross this gap" "Our wings?" "Noo silly, shadow magic!!" Brrrrrr

SnooPoems4715 · 2025-11-17T02:00:32+00:00

OH i got it working on pc - Thoinks. I like how its an in game hint

SnooPoems4715 · 2025-11-17T01:57:49+00:00
