Forgot I had this. It is a comprehensive guide to the entire story. Not well put together but fun for the curious.

I say this every time an Eidos (because it's Eidos we are talking about, not S-E) promo appears: Hitman and Thief are must-buys for any player who likes real stealth and clever challenges.
My only complaint is that Hitman: Blood Money has not been released here, yet!

i just read this http://lparchive.org/Legacy-of-Kain-Defiance-%28Screenshot%29/

I read in the LoK subforum that the correct order to play the series is Blood Omen, then all the Soul Reavers and then Blood Omen 2. I can't confirm that as I've never played BO1-2 but you should be fine with Defiance either way.

Why isn't the original Blood Omen on here? God I still have the original on my PC... Complete with redone movies.

A rights issue with the PC version.

Side note, I'm correct that you can't skip the cutscenes for Soul Reaver 1, right?

thats correct
i can dream the bloody intro of soul reaver 1 by now

and its still avery short game

Thanks guys, interesting links.

About the story order, that's equal to the release dates, I think.
I've already played to BO1 and SR2, but I'll surely skip BO2, because it should be the worst of all.
Defiance added to cart for now ; )

Nope, Blood Omen 2 was released before Defiance. IIRC it was made by a different team of developers that screwed up the continuity, and the Defiance team managed to fix some of the plot holes.
Still debating with myself whether I should pick up BO2 or not...

Anyway, have fun. :)

I've now reinstalled the original LoK. Thanks for that urge guys. :P

I'm seeing Square Enix going on sale every other week, and bringing the FF-13 (and others) to PC...

Are they getting desperate?
Huh wait what? Legacy of Kain?

Now i need to read through the thread in more detail. Maybe get someone to tell me what order to play the games in since i recall trying to play a few of them and either the mechanics or story-writing was bad and annoyed me (while the original soul-reaver was awesome)

probably yeah
from what i heard the japanese developers as a whole are not doing too hot

and the legacy of kain series line up is as following

blood omen 1

soul reaver 1

soul reaver 2

defiance

blood omen 2

Fun... They really need to just hire a gamer from the US and run the game idea by them...


Wasn't Blood Omen 1 on the PS1 (course i probably can't easily & legally find it).
