Who here owns or has played the games in this awesome series? I have them all. I am disappointed that Defiance appears to be the last one, because there are still a lot of unanswered questions left by the story's resolution. But the gameplay is fantastic, and I love the story.

I wish Silicon Knights would make another Legacy of Kain game..to be honest thats the only game I have played of theirs I liked.

Silicon Knights went belly up, I think. I don't remember which company bought them out. And since the LoK team left Eidos I doubt there shall be another one. Which is sad, because there are so many unanswered questions and unresolved subplots from the story that really could be answered.

Nintendo bought Silicon Knights, but since let them go. They're now working on "Too Human" trilogy for Xbox 360 console.

Silicon Knights is one of the most original companies in the business, they were the reason Blood Omen hasn't been topped by the sequels if you ask me. It seems like the series has just gotten progressively worse with each title, I thought Defiance was a huge disapointment.

Never took notice of it 'till Prak and Odin recommended it to me. Still waiting for a proper conclusion to the series mind you.

Sorry I have to dissagree there, Every game has it's faults but to say that each game has got progressivly worse is a very harsh statement imo.

After the original BO, we had Soul reaver which I think is one of the best games i've played, followed by SR2, which to me is the best one in the series, In-depth story and gameplay.

Then BO2, more of a prequel, not quite on par with SR2 but still good enough to provide hours of enjoyable game play, then finally defiance, which to me, gave a very 'devil may cry' feel while playing which I loved, and a fantastic continuation to the story which has left every lover of the series hungry for a good ending.

Thing about LOK is that the games are driven by the story, which for me, makes a fantastic series and one which I am very sorry to see, come to such an uncertain and undignified end.

I love Legacy of Kain. I have all the game originally and I had many hours playing them and playing them over and over. The story is really quite awesome and it's the power behind the series. The game I liked the least was Blood Omen 2, but I still liked playing it alot.

There have been rumors about a sequel on the net for a while now, and I really hope those rumors are true, there's much I'd still like to know.

EVERY game of the LoK series is a GOD-Level (not Blood Omen 2 though... )

Played all of them and they were pretty cool. Like you, the ending to Defiance was a bit "Meh...", but at the time, I was expecting another game... it's almost 7 years now, so I'm not expecting anything out of the series anymore...

Yeah Defiance Ending was indeed a total "Meh...", but it makes sense in it's own way. Legacy of Kain series is a really good one, kind of unpopular, I don't really like it's gameplay, but my brothers tend to play it a lot, I enjoy the storyline while they play the game. I don't know if there's more room for a sequel for this game. Storywise I mean...

Great game.

I did find it rather humorous that Defiance went the way of Devil May Cry for the fighting/battle style. Nonetheless, I still very much enjoyed the game.

One of my favorite series. Every now and then I break it out and play the entire thing in one sitting.

Didn't mind the end much, but I could go for a remake of BO2. It's a little sucky that it's technically the last game. They screwed so much stuff up.

Blood Omen 2 took place after Defiance as far as the storyline was concerned? Did not know that. Interesting.

As I understand it, the possessed Janos Audron in Defiance goes on to become a tool of the Hylden and the Hylden Lord in the events of BO2.

I hope there's a sequel. Future Kain finally becomes the Scion of Balance at the end of Defiance and his story after then is yet unscripted. I think he's supposed to restore the pillars at some point.

Probably no Elder God though... No one can replace the late great Tony Jay.

Just what I was thinking. He had "THE VOICE", that reminded me that they're trying to revive reboot, what are they going to do with Megabyte?, whatever that's off-topic.

Indeed we need a new Legacy of Kain title, for the sake of that awesome storyline.

I miss the series myself.

But it did loose itself.
Went into the deep end with the plot.

You're right when you say that Audron became a tool of the Hylden, but allow me to clarify things a little better:
Defiance brought up the events Blood Omen 2, but is still the last chapter, story-wise. The Hylden Lord that you face in Blood Omen 2 is the same Hylden Lord that possessed Janos Audron in Defiance. BO2 is part of an altered timeline: After you kick the possessed Janos Audron's ass, the Hylden Lord flees and use the poor guy to feed the Mass you destroy in BO2. Without Defiance the events of BO2 would never exist, therefore that game doesn't have any relevance for the story.

XD, without another LoK thread active, I figured I'd leave this one open and see if anyone came back to post in it. Since they have, no sense closing it.

Anyway, as for Tony Jay, a good sound engineer could manipulate almost any voice to match his perfectly, provided the actor can properly mimic Jay's inflections.
