Still playing Blood Omen, still don't quite see what all the hoopla is about but maybe that really comes from "Soul Reaver"? I shall see anyhow.
It mainly gets *awesome* starting with
Soul Reaver, but then again, that's just from what I know since I only got about half-way through
Blood Omen before I just gave up after getting lost...
I also never found the gameplay in the
Legacy of Kain series any higher than mediocre, with the story, characters, and atmosphere being what compelled me to continue playing.
