Being a gamer for over 30 years , I'm never experienced a story as mind blowing as the complete LOK series. Amy doesn't get enough credit.

This franchise deserves a Remake.

One of the deepest characters ever conceived! The ending to Soul Reaver 2 is one of my favourite moments in gaming history!
345 |
Raziel will always be my all time favourite Video Game Character and in my opinion Michael Bell's finest role as a Voice Actor.

"History abhors a paradox."
-Raziel
144 |
Soul Reaver 2 ending can be described as: Raziel meets Raziel using Raziel to kill Raziel in order to avoid Raziel from entering Raziel's Raziel, but inadvertidly causes Raziel to be forever bound Raziel. Featuring Kain.

The timeline of Raziel:
Vampire-hating human.
Corpse for a thousand years.
Human-hating Vampire.
Corpse for five hundred years.
Righteous rebellious Wraith.
Thoughtful and informed Martyr.
Mindless phantom blade.
The cause of 4 paradoxes.
Schrodinger's Dispersed Ghost. Both bound to Kain to purify the Balance Guardian to act with clean sight, and yet dispersed in a finishing blow at the Pillars.

I loved how how his clan symbol on his cape made it look like tears when he wore it around his face

Raziel was one of the biggest influences on me during my teen years.
I will always remember when they met at the throne in SR1. The phrase "I would chose integrity" stuck with me. Then in defiance he had a choice, and he chose integrity.

Raziel screaming in the abyss still gives me chills. Such incredible voice acting.

Raziel occupied 3 forms. I always found that bit to be cool. The coin landed on it's edge.

This franchise has so incredibly huge potential... Can you imagine a prequel to this already beautiful and vast story? Conversations with Raziel's ruthless brothers in their vampiric, uncorrupted form, the land of Nosgoth on today's systems and with today's possibilities? And finally, could you imagine playing Raziel as the dignified, proud, handsome, but cruel and merciless lieutenant he was during his devoted service to Kain? I mean, if the story was handled right, in comparison to Raziel from back then, Kratos from God of War, could look like a pussy-whipped rebel ... Come on developers, give us fans what we deserve for keeping this beautiful franchise alive to this day, but do it with passion and hearts it deserves. "Do not tarry!"

There is a serious reason why people are still hoping for a remake or new parts of these games after 20 years... This story, these games... so unique. This is the best voice acting and ambience of all time. Playing this is not like other games, it's like a really really good movie that catches all your attention. You're part of this world while playing these games. I'll never stop loving Legacy of Kain, it is, was and will be the best game series ever made. I won't give up hoping on seeing this in 4K quality with all the new techniques we have nowdays.

The most amazing thing about this story? At the end, Raziel did choose integrity.
Edit: Allow me to elaborate:
In Soul Reaver, the first time Raziel encounters Kain in the Sanctuary of the Clans, Kain loses his cool when Raziel calls out his motives as irrational, to wich Kain's response was: " To know that the fate of the world hangs dependent on the advisedness of my every deed -- can you even begin to conceive what action you would take, in my position?"
To wich Raziel answer was : "I would choose integrity, Kain. "
Fastforward to the nearly end of Legacy of Kain: Defiance, we have Raziel last revelation after disposing of Moebious soul: "But what hope had there been? One cannot fight the unseen. (...) It was then I knew what I had to do. I alone could end this."
Raziel chose what he thought should had been Kain's decision at the end of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.
He sacrificed himself for the greater good...
For the bitter taste of that terrible ilusion.

Elder God: "From this moment, and ever after, you and this blade are inexplicably bound. Soul Reaver... and reaver of souls. Your destinies are intertwined."
Such a good series.

I stopped gaming about 13 years ago. But whenever any of my friends suggest I start again, my response is always the same: "When they conclude the Legacy Of Kain series is when I will return to gaming. Until then, in the gaming wilderness I shall remain."
Legacy Of Kain is easily my favourite piece of fiction (be it game, movie, tv series etc.) The thought that went into the storyline was incredible. I liked how at the end of Defiance, they set us up for the proper introduction of the Hylden and an explanation of THEIR history and motivations in the coming game/s.
I have long since held a theory on where the story was going after Defiance: the manner in which the writer revealed the Elder God to be a parasite led me to believe that it was the HYLDEN who actually were enlightened and realised that the Elder God was a parasite, and due to their enlightenment, the Elder God manipulated both humans and vampires to cast out the Hylden to a parallel world.
Remember: prior to the end of Defiance, even Kain himself couldn't see the Elder God in his true form, only Raziel (who himself was the unwitting Hylden champion). The only non-wraith/Hylden like beings in the entire series to ever see the Elder God in his true form were Moebius and Kain, AFTER they physically felt/held the purified Soul Reaver. Even in death, humans and vampires were blissfully unaware that the god they served was merely a parasitic squid/sea monster. Some often heard his voice, but never actually laid eyes upon his true physical form. So they simply accepted him as a god.
I think the story was heading in the direction of revealing that the Hylden were, by and large, a force for good in the overall story (albeit with some evil villains in their ranks), and that their overall goal was to rid Nosgoth of the Elder God, and doing some rather bad things to get the job done (in much the same way Kain had tried).

God dame i forgot how good the writing in soul raver was. Has down the best write in any game every on the level of placesape torment.

His balaclava was actually his cape with a new purpose now.
23 |
Another layer to add to the poetic irony of the confrontation between Raziel and himself was that the Raziel you play as is wielding his future self to slay his past self

The intro cut-scene for Soul Reaver is one of the best beginnings to a video game ever made, nothing tops it.
