[QUOTE="DistortionDevil, post: 1335, member: 514"] A couple people know this story already. I know the exact date when I was introduced to Legacy of Kain. It was January 25th, 2003, and my best friend had gotten Blood Omen 2 for the Gamecube for this birthday. It was the first game that really truly frightened me, enough that I didn't want to watch my friend play the game at night. I thought Kain would leap out of the screen and get me. After some pizza and switching over to Fable, I read the manual for Blood Omen 2 and thought that Kain was more cool than scary, and so I watched my friend play and took in everything the game had to offer. For all of it's janky animations and funny bug-eyed characters, something about the game captivated me. I saw Legacy of Kain Defiance in a gamestop one day and I wondered "What happened to kain? He looks all spiky and scary and cool!" it wasn't until the PS3 came out and I downloaded the PS Store version of Blood Omen that I really got into the series proper, since I was now finally able to play them all. Out of all the games, I'd say that Soul Reaver 2 is a beautiful culmination of all the plot threads and leads perfectly into defiance. It has, in my opinion, the best dialogue in the whole series (although it's all amazing) and being able to see Janos Audron again was awesome. Not to mention Soul Reaver 2 has one of the greatest reveals / plot twists in video game history. That said, BO2 will always hold a special place in my heart, even with all of its flaws. [/QUOTE]
