Legacy of Kain - finish the story damn you!! *shake fist at CD/Eidos*
The story IS finished. History can now only repeat itself.
What I would really want to see, though, is Soul Reaver 1 as it was originally planned by Crystal Dynamics (before Eidos forced them to release the game unfinished) or the sequel to Blood Omen Silicon Knights was planning (before Crystal Dynamics took the series off their hands to make Soul Reaver)
pray tell, HOW is the story FINISHED when there was the indecation of a future confrontation between Kain and the Elder God? (does he finally get rid of the parasite or is EG too wide-spread to destroy completely?), and the Hlyden? (their not going to help EG because of the war and what the Ancients started), the demons!? (their ravaging Nosgoth! Kain's gotta do something about that!), the restoration of the Pillars/Nosgoth? and the fact Kain HAS to return the Reaver to Avernus otherwise he'll change the Blood Omen past and may create a paradox that could wipe him out of existance?
-not to mention there was the canceled Dark Prophecy (which showed Kain returning to BO locations - Malek's Baston, some mountain 'range-place-thing', the Oracle's Cave, and what looks like the Termongant Forest/Vorador's Mansion) (-was also labelled Blood Omen 3 at some point...)
i agree with you on the second part - i too would love to see all of the games (plus any removed content) how they were suppose to be originally planned - fighting The Priestess in SR (also seeing The UnderCity and Turel's Territoy and that 'vortex-twister-forge' that could have been a spirit/soul forge and Zephon being able to stab you in Spectral and being chased by a mini Dumah ^^), the chess match in BO (i can just imagine making Kain stride across the board and just slaughtering the 'pieces' ^.^ - not to mention the deleted assasination cutscene and that 'sinking pirate boat bit'), seeing if you could save the 'gypsy vampire' in time before the hunters murdered her in SR2 (aswell as the other places throughtout the game where you can see bits of the 'buildings' that are still there on the disc but you can't get to/or can only go so far), if there was anything cut from BO2 i want that aswell (i would have loved to have roamed the other places on the map, and some concept art shows that might have been an idea at one point...), same with Defiance
i don't care if they don't continue the story (or are part of the offical timeline), it would be nice to see/play them anyway...but here comes my nag
it's not fair when such content is ONLY avalible in one country - for example US got the comics, toys/figures, soundtrack(s?) and the Defiance outtakes!!
as a fan that pisses me off!
why can't the other fans AROUND THE WORLD get this stuff aswell?!
even if the bonus content can't fit on the game disc, there's nothing wrong with including a SECOND DISC that has these features otherwise it's a good way to alienate/anger LOKfans
EDIT - i did read that is SK had keep the franchise then a sequel to BO wouldn't have happened, as Legacy of Kain was the secondary title so any 'sequels' of Blood Omen would have been like Eternal Darkness (Kain would not have come back
-which if you play the game BO is pretty much a self contained story on it's own, there aren't any lose bits to tie up)
