Does anybody have any clue if they are going to make another game after defiance, because whille it does tie up some loose end it still leaves kain in the past, with the knowledge that the eldar god (wheel of fate, squid thing) is the bad guy, and that he is now the ture scion of balance.
thanx

From what I've been hearing, there will be no more LoK games, which is extremely disheartening. There wasn't even any mention of it at E3, I hear.

That's *bleep*ed up. There's a lot of shit they didn't cover in the five games - the whole era of Kain and the empire in their full fledged vampirity, and whatnot.
What's Crystal Dynamics excuse? Not enough fans?
Psh. If a video game like Darkwatch can be released into the world and flop on it's ass, then why can't they make another LoK game - despite it's forecasted popularity.

I say boooo Crystal Dynamics

In a way, I'm kind of glad they're not making another. Amy Hennig, who was responsible for most of the best writing/directing in SR, SR2, and Defiance - and had nothing at all to do with the writing or directing of BO2, which is probably the biggest reason it sucked so bad - doesn't work for the company anymore. I'd hate to look forward to a game without her influence, only to end up with another Blood Omen 2.

I can't begin to describe how much I despise that game.

just to clarify yes LoK 6 has been said that it's int he works designed for next gen use eidos offical boards for more answers.

Thanks for the heads up. That does kind of ruin my day, though.

And I'd rather take your word for it. Wary folks avoid the official forums, if they can.

I hope they make another. But it depends. There's a petition to convince Eidos to make another LOK game. It's a never ending one, so take as long as you need, but the earlier you sign, the earlier the might make another game.

and beside the voice of the elder god died.
r.i.p.
they cant make another one with a different voice.
u know?

I really do hope they make a new LoK game.
I've really enjoyed the storyline & game play so far with the Soul Reaver and Blood Omen Games. Especially Defiance.

It Would also make a lot of sense to make another sequel to the series, (like Ultara-guyver stated), because it doesn't explain what Kain does to help / hinder Nosgoth. Or If Raziel's sacrifice was in vein.

I really hope they do make a sixth title in the main 'series'. They could do an awesome job with such a project on the PS3/Xbox 360. It would just look amazing, and I agree that a lot of story elements need some closure. Hell, though I don't think it's necessary, they could get everyone's attention with a remake of the original Blood Omen; but that's neither here nor there. >_>

What is wrong with BO2?
I think it's origional and the music rules....

And yes, they should get a move on and make a sixth game, already!

They had better make a new one. I thought games were pretty shitty at the time till i played Soul Reaver. The whole LOK universe is just too interesting to let go of. Still like the story better than 80% of the games out there now. But I agree BO2 could have been better.

There are still a lot of loose ends to tie up for the series. Among the questions that should be answered for a sixth and, really, final game are:

1.) How was Vorador resurrected, and what was his fate after the events of Blood Omen 2?

2.) Did Janos Audron ever escape from the demon dimension after being cast into during Blood Omen 2's climax, and if not, what was his ultimate fate?

3.) Since at some point Kain must return the Soul Reaver to its place in history, does this mean that the vampire king will somehow end up bearing the wraith blade?

4.) Will Kain return to Nosgoth's blasted future landscape for the final confrontation with the Elder God? Since Raziel's purified reaver-self in turn purified Kain, does this mean that the Pillar of Balance is restored in the future?

Some interesting plot twists in a sixth game could feture some startling revelations about Nosgoth's ancient and forgotten past. For example, it might be revealed that the Hylden were empowered by the Elder God to destroy another race of immortals, whose existence has been completely obliterated from history. The Hylden, having been granted power to defeat this enemy, might have grown during the conflict to the point that by the time they won the war, they too had achieved immortality. This plot point could be used to describe how the ancient vampires were then called to destroy the Hylden, who had been rejected by their "god". Perhaps a surviving Hylden might relate this tale to Kain, or Janos may escape the demon dimension with this knowledge and pass it on. Another idea might be to have Kain rescue Janos, but that the ancient vampire is utterly and irredeemably mad from his long imprisonment. Forced to destroy the winged immortal, Kain could then use the Heart of Darkness to revive the slain Vorador.

Granted, that all seems pretty convoluted and not all the ideas would work. But they are just ideas, and worth considering for a possible sixth installment.

The thing is, if Kain finds a way to destroy the Elder God, everything will change. The Elder god is timeless, he exists outside of time. If he is destroyed at one point of time, in theory, he will not exist in any point of time.
This will change everything from the very beginning. The Ancients will no longer have a god to worship, thus have no reason to start the war with the Hilden. Thus the Ancients will never become vampires, (I.E. blood consuming immortals) and the Soul Reaver will never be forged.
When it comes to the Elder God, it has been proven that actions can occur in the timestream ignoring paradoxes.
I suppose this would be an "Ideal" situation for the world, and balance would return. Although Defiance showed a less evil side of Kain, I'm not entirely certain he would want this result. And knowing how brilliant Kain is, he no doubt knows this could happen with the Elder God's death.
Then again, the Sould reaver has shown the ability to negate Paradoxes, so he might just remain after the change. Then he could conquer a new world.

Although Defiance showed a less evil side of Kain, I'm not entirely certain he would want this result.

I completely forgot that Kain's evil ambition was brought about by Nuprapoter's corruption. When Raziel submitted to the Sould Reaver, that corruption was lifted and Kain was "purified". So it's entirely likely that he would work towards the outcome I mentioned earlier.
