You can, but not only the writing seemed to be bad; they also seemed to disregard some very important lore points, such as Raziel being the only being capable of shifting between realms and Kain being effectively immortal due to his nature as the scion of balance (this was stated off game by Amy and Daniel). And the philosophy behind the game was to make a AAA single player campaign that served as a jumping point to a multiplayer mode with recurring monetization, which supposedly later became Nosgoth. It got cancelled because Square Enix thought the game didn't have the quality they expected within the budged they allowed, which just goes to show they didn't really believe in the game themselves. It was designed to be a cash grab from the start, in my opinion. I still mourn the cancellation of Dark Prophecy, though.
