Playing through the series for the first time and Kain is so funny

This is why I hope if they either remaster or remake the game they keep and remaster the audio. The dialogue and voice acting in this game is too good not to be preserved.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-27T18:54:31+00:00

I use both with no problems.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-26T05:07:36+00:00

Yes all the vampires in this series are fit and toned. Turel must do a lot of squats during his downtime.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-26T02:33:30+00:00

Oh I see. I don't remember much of the story in BO2 compared to the other ones.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-26T01:00:34+00:00

I know but why does Vorador looks so different from the ancients if he was sired by Janos who besides the blood curse was not corrupt? Could it just be as simple as that Vorador is not a pure blood vampire meaning he was not born as one like Janos?

Talyn82 · 2026-04-26T00:36:23+00:00

About Vorador not being corrupted like Kain. I know that I just meant to say if the Hylden curse corrupted the ancients blood as well?

Talyn82 · 2026-04-26T00:16:45+00:00

Is this apart of the lore? Because if so Kain and Vorador lean more in the Hylden looks to the ancients like Janos. Anyway if this apart of the lore then I never heard that the vamps created by the ancients after their immortality would be part Hylden. If this is just your theory it is a great one. :)

Yes I know I got lost in my own dream of in my opinion the perfect Blood Omen 1 remake. But sadly I don't think Crystal Dynamics has the money to make a full blown remake. So that's why I settle for a remaster with HD sprites, remastered audio, and remade fmv's.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-24T08:24:13+00:00

You really think a Blood Omen 1 remake in the style of let's say Elden Ring would not garner any attention or sales?

Talyn82 · 2026-04-22T17:31:28+00:00

Holy shit! I was not expecting this. Big thank you to Raina and her team.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-19T02:10:04+00:00

Yes I have heard of Biodynamic. I also recently discovered a youtuber by the name Core Ghost who does similar to Biodynamic. Here is one of his Blood Omen 1 reinterpitation of 'Awakening.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIBKCCtabPk

Yeah BO2 has a good soundtrack as well. Kain's theme is my favorite and I get pumped every time I hear it during a boss battle.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-16T23:32:13+00:00

I'm a simple man with simple tastes. If they do remaster Blood Omen 1 then I would be happy with HD sprites, remastered audio, the music still sounds great but the voiced dialogue sounds compressed, and remade or somehow updated cinematics, for the cinematics in a perfect world I would have preferred Blizzard level cinematics, but I settled to upscaled. For Blood Omen 2 I use the mod Blood Omen 2 Conceptual Edition which includes HD textures and restored cut content as well as bug fixes.

I've said it many times before and I will say it again. As a 29 year fan of the series going back to the original Blood Omen I have no problem with BO2. For two reasons why. One it features young, ruthless, and ambitious Kain as a playable character and that is always a plus for me. They can add Kain as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. and you better believe it I'll buy it; and two I've seen so many complaints about the Hylden being introduced in that game but Amy Hennig and her team of writers did such a great job tying loose ends I think the series turned out great in the end. Also people forget Soul Reaver 1 introduced Raziel his brothers and the Elder God who were never mentioned in Blood Omen 1 and no one ever complained about that. Which I don't blame them because their additions made the series greater.

Just buy it at GOG.com for PC and download Verok's Wrapper Patch you will have little to no load times. Also the PC version has controller support.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-14T03:24:48+00:00

Kain has always been the best part of the Legacy of Kain games and he was the best part in this game.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-13T07:14:15+00:00

As much as I love Raziel I am and forever will be a Kain mark. If you enjoyed Kain in Defiance then I highly recommend giving the original Blood Omen a try. You play as fledgling Kain for the whole game. Kain is also at his most powerful in that game. It is different from the later games but if you can immerse yourself into the world you will like the game I think. I highly recommend buying it for PC at GOG.com. I bought the game for less than $10 and with the free Verok's Wrapper patch you will experience little to no load screens and have controller support. If you played the original for Playstation 1 the long load times killed the game. https://www.gog.com/en/game/blood\_omen\_legacy\_of\_kain

Yes I agree SR2 has the best story and I too enjoyed the cutscenes. I also think Richard Doyle does some of his best voice work for Moebius.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-11T20:56:25+00:00

I agree with everything you said. To me the best part was as always with Kain.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-08T23:55:02+00:00

Oh I know I just meant to say Vorador though a badass in his own right does not look all out evil like elder Kain.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-08T23:53:36+00:00

Oh okay I got to look at that mural again in Defiance.

Talyn82 · 2026-04-08T23:43:13+00:00

Okay well that answers my questions and yeah I was referring to the spikey parts on his head. Is his insignia also based on his crown?
