idbeholdME: I would not call Tchernobog in Blood a god. More of an "essence" or representation of balance rather than a being by itself. It is moulded and transformed based on the morals and principles of the person which currently possesses this essence. The main duty of "The One That Binds" (the title of the one holding the essence) is to maintain the realities in proper order. It was only the 16th incarnation of Tchernobog that had him transformed into a cruel being with lust for power and dominion over everything because of the person it transferred to. Nevertheless, he still sought to his duties of keeping everything in order unlike Caleb (who became the 17th incarnation after killing him at the end of Blood 1). You can see the effects of this in Blood 2 where a lot of very weird stuff happens as dimensions collide because Caleb is ignoring his newfound duties at first.

It should also be noted that in order to bring on the next incarnation of Tchernobog, the previous one has to be killed as he doesn't die of natural means.

GOG.com: If you own the original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood, you can get the remaster 5 USD cheaper (the final discount is 5 USD equivalent, and may vary depending on your region and price in local currency). Offer is valid until June 9th, 3pm UTC.

Huinehtar: Great release indeed!
I will personally wait for the Linux release.

Klumpen0815: Slapping BloodGDX on it and asking for another 5 bucks (10 if you didn't own it) + regional fee for it?

GameRager: 2. Back ontopic: Sorry, I forgot there are different entity categories in Lovecraf's mythos.

Original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood from now on will be available as a free bonus with Blood: Fresh Supply.

KP1990: Please tell me the GOG version will get linux support

KP1990: Still waiting for Turok 2

Mafwek: Still fits certain definitions of gods/divinities whatever you wanna call them. And philosophically speaking everything is being, what you want to say is that Černobog isn't a person. And as I said, "gods" don't need to be person, take Spinoza's definition, Force from Star Wars or Yog-Sothoth.

gameragodzilla: Why is that necessary? If you want the original, you can buy this version and just play the original. The Bioshock Remaster had the original bundled in on GOG but didn’t have it separate. Neither did Rune Gold in Rune Classic. I’m only annoyed if the original version just flat out isn’t available, like Doom 3 BFG Edition not including the vanilla version.

Is $5 extra really too much for that many people?

idbeholdME: Partially.

Tchernobog in Blood is not a person, not energy, nor anything else. He basically does not exist by himself.

axl: I see it like this: if the game was not previously available here then I'm okay with only having the original version as an extra for the re-release, but removing a classic game from the catalog for no good reason doesn't fly with me. It defeats the very purpose of this site.

I might actually rethink buying Turok 2 at all (or anything else from Nightdive going forward) just to show my distaste for this move, even though I like what they are doing with the games they remaster (sans this policy) and even though Turok 2 was not previously available here.
