[QUOTE="Barkingworm, post: 1748, member: 527"] Although I’m a huge fan of all of them, I lean more towards Soul Reaver. I really liked the setting of the game, where Kain’s empire had been established and ruled over by he and his lieutenants. For me, I really enjoyed seeing the distinctions between vampire clans. One thing I liked about Blood Omen was Vorador and how he looked less human than Kain. I think that was really the first time I thought of the idea that as vampires age, they would gradually drift further away from being human and more towards being monstrous. I feel like Soul Reaver (and Nosgoth) really expanded on what it means to have went to the extreme end of vampirism, to a point where it has not only affected one’s appearance, but also his personality, practices, and abilities as well. They were, in every way imaginable, monsters. So for me, it was endlessly fascinating to see a world that was dominated by them and their equally grotesque offspring. But as I mentioned, I’m a huge fan of all of them, so that’s tough question. [/QUOTE]
