    I love this series, even though my dad hated this game for the vivid nightmares it gave him and its "evil" depictions and lore, he still would be alongside me whenever I played this, "Dodge left, attack now! Aw you don't have a spear! Throw him in the fire pyre! Hurry and absorb the soul before you lose it, son!" Miss you papá, rest in power

      Just jumping on that comment wagon, but yes thanks for covering the best story in video games, even if i think there is something missing with the elder god, cause the cycle of life work when he feed on it, and we have no instance when he dont(even if we learn his feeding is unatural), so what if the elder die, nobody know, everyone is reincarnated with previous memories? (is he some entity like the it from stephen king?)The real elder god you never know, you have that mistery , and in my opinion it is for the best

      I have a couple theories on the theory on elder god statue and now this is very hypothetical. Ok here goes: I think if L.O.K. Dead Sun wasn't canceled; the protagonist (through killing many of the elder gods kin possibly)would eventually have come together to the elder god as either the kin of the spectral realm to form together the elder God and have a final boss battle win or have a final boss battle in either a stalemate or loss in which the protagonist realizes defeating the elder god is futile and decides to (with the help of this cult clan) craft the statue as a bad omen or warning.

    • @TheMasterofMasters1
      @TheMasterofMasters1 2 роки тому +1

      If you really think about it, the protagonist of Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun has the same abilities as Raziel.
      So(Hypothetically) what's not say that the protagonist of Dead Sun didn't a least meet the elder god.(I mean, the elder is some what cautious of Raziel's actions)

    This could be the nostalgia talking, but you can feel the power in the voice acting of the actors behind Kain, Raziel and the Old God, as well as Mobius. They have really sold the universe and the characters, alongside the outstanding writing. It's one of those series that reminds you of the quality of art. This game may not make billions in terms of money, but I'm certain that it will inspire millions. Profound art form right there.

      The main protagonists of the fisrt 2 game literally mirrors both Kain and Raziel, not only in personality,but also in apperance.

    I always thought of Nosgoth as something kind of like the Holy Roman Empire, a large country made up of smaller countries with similar languages and cultures that fight for dominance, with the Circle of Nine being the central heads of state in a way, a bit like H.R.E. emperors, the ancient vampire race and their fall being similar to the collapse of the Roman Empire, the corruption of the Pillars being like the Dark Ages, etc. I'm pretty sure that's where they got at least some of their inspiration.

      Same. These games are some of the best out there. I took three days off work when Soul Reaver finally came out, just to play through it completely. The game was delayed, repeatedly IIRC, and was much better for it since this was before a day one patch (or any patch for the PSX) was possible. And the original game disguised all it's loading times behind animations of door openings, or other transitions. Brilliant. I hope the new owners of the IP give it some love and give us a hi-rez edition of them all. Would gladly pay full price for that in 2022.

    Wassup! The 3 Spears never made as much sense to me as they do right now! Good stuff.
    Now for something wild. (At 16:38) the stained glass side panels of the Lady Dark & Lady Light reminded me very much of the TV movie White Dwarf. I checked when it came out: 1995. And Blood Omen streeted a year later in Nov. of '96.... so the human religion of Nosgoth may have been partly an homage to these goddesses:
    "Two great ladies will catch your fall, / they are the ones who catch us all. / Their children kept them far apart, / the lady light, the lady dark. / darkness, broken; light, storm / dead, spoken ; dreams torn: / and We will bring you home.
    Also, for the energy-wrapped central figures suspended above the lake....what if a human had taken a miraculous journey down into the lake of the dead to reach the hidden city there and the story of it became a celebrated religious event like when Enoch toured heaven or Job (?) survived inside a whale??

There's a carved skull in that mountain, and someone lives there, or how about that fortress sitting up on that mountain covered in snow where the guards have literally frozen solid, or how about a city of werewolves that can only be accessed during a full moon. This game was my life as a teenager.

    I also thank you for all your work. Heads up, the following is long, and half-baked, and I'd like to share it with you.
    See, I'm a crazy man who has grown up with, effectively, 'dark fantasy' since I was 12 or so. Warhammer Fantasy, and 40k, and the World of Darkness (not as much), DND 3.5 (which in hindsight has really, really dark and disturbing artwork compared to more contemporary editions); related is me studying though not playing Planescape: Torment, itself a gem of story in video game form, liket Blood Omen. AND the Darkest Dungeon franchise is one of my favorite games of all time.
    And now that I'm older I realized that a) gah this screwed up my psyche and I didn't even know it till I grew older and b) all the above DO have grotesque but interesting lessons--philosophy, cosmology, the nature of malice (somewhat) and what happens when you strip away parts of being to see what is left--that I think can be applied to life. It is just that c) they have all been very tiring, very depressing.
    I've been toying with the idea of making an 'Index of Darkness'--think a forum and website where people can come together and discuss darkness, but not worship it. That's the horrid thing I caught myself almost doing, and looking at the ongoing fandoms (40k and WOD) I sometimes wonder if people do that. It would be a place to learn the lessons without the shock value of the dark settings.
    My aim with the Index of Darkness is to do what you do on a large but speedy scale. Like you, I've poured over the Blood Omen games, but that was time consuming.
    NOW, the whole idea is half-baked. I don't even know where to start, but I've a mind to do it. IF, IF it gets off the ground, look for a website with Darkest Dungeon style artwork.
    How long into the future? A decade, seeing as IRL events both national and personal are ongoing. BUT IF I can get it up and running, I'd love to have you as a speaker/...'scholar person'"? for the Blood Omen wing.
    Thank you, keep up the good work.

    I'm curious, since kain's been purified ( R.I.P Raziel) I assume his pillar has also been purified. But how world go about purifying the other pillars? Will Kain just turn 8 other humans into vampires hoping they become pillar guardians inevitably restoring the other pillars as well?

    • @lux2625
      @lux2625 2 роки тому +4

      From what I understood: The other pillars are already purified, because Kain killed their respective guardian and brought an offering to the pillars in blood omen.
      The only one that is corrupted is the pillar of balance, preventing the pillars from choosing another successor.
      As Kain is purified of corruption, the pillars choose their new successors who are newborn babies (or I guess not necessarily babies).
      But Kain wants the pillars to belong to the vampires, and not the humans. Therefore he could seek out the new guardians, talk to them about the purpose of the pillars and convince them to receive vampirism. Creating a system where each new guardian becomes a vampire.
      Unless he can think of altering the way the pillars work so that they only choose vampires and not humans.
      In any case, I don't know how Kain could return the pillars to vampires permanently. Janos was going to turn the guardians into vampires, but moebius and mortanius rebelled. It could well happen again.
      But that he gets to purify nosgoth if it will happen thanks to raziel's sacrifice.
      Then we have the cancelled game legacy of kain: Dead sun, where the vampires are not mutants and nostgoth is healthy and purified. That confirms that Kain does achieve his goal, but he doesn't manage to completely destroy the Old God.

    This actually makes too much sense. To seal an entire species out of the realm, you had to change the fundamental laws of nature itself. You are telling each part of nature that it rejects the Hyldan.
    That means as the planet dies, the seal does too, and as the Hyldan push against their lock they weaken the fabric of nature to bend to them. This would also explain why the demon world looks and behaves the way it does and even why the demons don’t look like Hyldan but very well might be. Because they have no place in nature, have been denied any sense of conflict between each other, they cannot die, etc. except when they come to Nozgoth and impose themselves on the laws of nature. Notice the only times they seem to keep cohesion in Nozgoth is when they have a conduit through another life form connected to the realm. They needed The Machine to bring The General to the world and were using turel and Mortanius before then.

  • @daniell1483
    @daniell1483 2 роки тому

    Amazing video! Nosgoth is, I think, every bit as much a character in the Legacy of Kain story as any other major player. Soul Reaver 2's differing depictions of Nosgoth depending on what era you were in gave the land a personality of its own. The Pillars, so influential in the story, always serve as a sort of temporal and spatial landmark. Before the Vampire/Hylden war, there were no Pillars; before Ariel's murder, the Pillars were pure and beautiful; after her murder, the Pillars are blackened, deteriorating, but not yet beyond redemption; Kain's refusal to martyr himself causes them to shatter into mere husks of what they once were.
    I hope someday, we get to see the Pillars and Nosgoth once again, but perfected and restored.

    I played video games as a child (Mostly Atari 2600 & NES) but was never deep into it as other kids my age. Between the End of High School and the start of Jr College I played Warcraft 2 (Blizzard of 96) for 3 days straight at My Friend's house, received a bootleg Copy of Diablo and was stricken buy the Soul Reaver Commercials of the late 90's. I was always a Nerd, Just a nerd who worked out and played sports. To This Day I have never Experienced a more fulfilling game than the Legacy of Kain Series. Absolute Perfection. I was Appalled by Nosgoth FPS and was upset to hear the The Dead Son was never released (Only Teased by the online walk through).

    I love how some people still love the world of nosgorh and the legacy of kain. Unfortunately I've lost my friend who introduced me to this series to political differences but at least I know that this series transcends everything. Good story and characters will forever cement legacy things

      Is Neo's taking of the redpill in your profile pic an indication of your politics?

    • @willlauzon3744
      @willlauzon3744 2 роки тому +5

      @@hopebringer2348 yes and no. I love the movie and this shot in particular being the reflection in Morpheus glasses. The red pill for me is knowledge no matter how bad it hurts. My best friend in highschool is very far left leaning where I am pretty much dead center because I wish both sides would fuck off and leave me alone. So anything right of far far left is the equivalent to being a dolf quittler. Too bad really. Lot of good memories and never would have found this game without him. Ironic that this game being one of his favourites is that I am the one seeking my own path and answers while he is following the destiny someone else put down for him. History abhors a paradox.

      Haha 😂well this series has an interesting world with so many questions, ofcourse it wouldn't die easy . I'm still craving more stories.... also, don't let politics ruin great bonds between bros .it's actually kinda sad . It's ok to disagree, but if your political views harbor serious and irrational hate and distrust, then maybe it's for the better .your political views can be left or right , but it can't be hating someone ,that's just silly. Like some people's who personality and political views are not like women or thinking they are less than. Like that's silly if that forms literally every opinion in your mind hah

    I don't know if it's an inaccuracy, but the way I remember it is that Ariel was Nupraptor's lover, and when she was killed her went mad. The corruption of the circle happened because Nupraptor was a psychic, the guardian of the pillar of the mind, and he inadvertantly projected his madness onto the other guardians as well. The corruption didn't happen because of Ariel's death, but because of Nupraptor's madness.

    This was iuncredible. I thought myself a huge nerd fan of the Legacy of Kain series, but these videos are just Next Level Lore!!!! Seeing the entire history of Nosgoth laid out like this, in such concise detail, allowed me to finally see the entire chess battle war between the Hylden and The Elder God play out in almost real time. JFC, that Elder God was SUCH AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!
    I think what really blew my brain was imagining the PATIENCE with which the Hylden regained a foothold into the Material Dimension. First by, probably, posing as either helpful spirits or dealmaking demons to the humans. The Hylden used whatever 'favours' they were capable of granting to allow their Chosen empowered humans to create an entire religion around murder, sacrifice and torture, while hiding behind the facade of Avernus Cathedral. Just... OMG... the meticulous, patient planning of this scheme to destroy the pillars/lock!!!!!!
