RagnarRox's video: The Tragic Tale of BLOOD OMEN: Legacy of Kain

Kain is one of the earliest and most prolific morally dark-grey anti-hero protagonists in video game history. And what a legacy he left: One of the most iconic and epic series in video game history, including Soul Reaver and Defience that Blood Omen layed the fundamental groundwork for. The title of this video is a folie-a-deux, because Kain's Origin story is both, a gothic horror tragedy worthy of Homer (The ancient Greek one), as well as plagued by a troublesome and tragic development history. Let's take a nostalgia trip to where it all began: At the good old Pillars of Nosgoth! *****This video has been sponsored by Core Download Core to play and create PC games for FREE at https://bit.ly/RagnarRox-Core Join Core’s Scream-run Speedrun Tournament from Oct 29 to Nov 1 to win $6.3k in prizes! https://speedrun.coregames.com/ ***** 00:00 Introduction 03:07 Sponsor 04:52 Part I - The Vampire Diaries 11:16 Part II - A Masterwork of Classic Game Design 19:41 Part III - Vae Victis!
