The original Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen was my favorite game ever, back in the day. I got a demo on a demo-disc that came with a magazine, played it to *death,* to the point where I can *still* quote the opening lines verbatim, decades later. Eventually got the full game, and played THAT to death. None of the sequels ever recaptured that magic for me, not even when they finally put Kain himself back in the driver's seat with Blood Omen 2... maybe no surprise, seeing as only the first game was produced by the original devs at Silicon Knight - not that they exactly covered themselves in glory *after* that point, I suppose!
"I woke to the pain of a new existence, in a dank room of darkness and decay..."
Honestly Kain would be a fantastic villain or rival NPC for the party to play against. He definitely has the speeches for it.
Raziel: Shall I show you the same mercy you showed the rest of the Circle, then? You blithely murdered them to restore their Pillars, yet your hand faltered when it came to the final sacrifice.
What makes you exempt, Kain? You're merely the last man standing.
Why condemn me for simply carrying out what you hadn't the courage to do yourself?
Kain: Let's drop the moral posturing, shall we? We both know there's no altruism in this pursuit.
Your reckless indignation led you here - I counted on it. There's no shame in it, Raziel - revenge is motivation enough.
At least it's honest. Hate me, but do it honestly.
I appreciate that the LoK build integrates the most important element from the 3d games: moving around 5ft cubes.
Yes! Raziel soon!
Been hoping for Raziel since I found this channel!!
Would it just be this build, but with Soul Knife Rogue instead of the Warlock levels?
"I don't like alter self - but it's something Kain can do"
This is a fascinating concept to me. It's real interesting how some games make powers more or less useful than others. Need to do more research on this honestly.
I'm so happy to see this get some love. This series needs or rem make. Or at least a remaster, it is such a good series. I really hope you do Raziel as well
There was going to be another one but it got cancelled. The early footage looked awesome, though T.T
Hey, there's always Dead House Sonata to look forward to. Same company, and a literal spiritual successor to LoK.
@@jordanarnold6783 we'll see. looks okay but without Amy Hennig's involvement I am skeptic.
I know its not the same, but RainaAudron made an AI upscale for the dream cast emulator, its pretty good
@raeje Yeah seriously. Amy Hennig may be mostly known for the Uncharted series, but I'll always associate her with LoK first.
Anytime some talks about Legacy of Kain, my Heart of Darkness grows a size. D&D is a great place to draw inspiration from it as well!
"chronomancy is the greatest magic of all" i understand that reference
Love this! Can’t wait to see my dads reaction (he introduced me to the Legacy of Kain series when I was a kid). Also can’t wait for Raziel to come around. 😁
One of if not THE best written action game series ever created. The time cross-crossing drama is on par with some of the best fantasy books.
Also one of the best if not the best, and in my opinion, actually is the best vampire game ever made. Vampire is the masquerade is okay. But it's so open world that it is hard to really go through the story line in my opinion.
Completing the duo of protagonists of this series is a great milestone! Surely Sir Tulok will celebrate it with a Tangle the lemur build soon(tm). But in the meantime fighting fate itself should be entertaining
Born as an aristocrat who got in the struggle of balance forcefully when his death and resurrection as a vampire lead him to a path of vengeance, one where is ambitious self will see him challenge the agents of fate and the incarnation of it's previous mistakes to hopefully reach its place as scion of balance to restore the land of Nosgoth. With the soul Reaver in hand you can face many challenges, oddly many of them sharing your own voice...
Thank you for making this, I've just started DMing my first homebrew adventure set in Nosgoth, and this really helps
Love these builds. Always love these little in-joked about building and the actual series.
These were amazing video games almost forgot them
Omg I've been waiting for so long for you to do Kain thank you!
I am playing Raziel in a CoS game that has been going for 6 years now. Strahd is his Kane.
That is a great idea.
Long time watching, first time writing.
Thanks for this video. It has brought back many good memories. BloodOmen2 was the first vj that really hooked me. And also I'm just going to start a campaign in which I want to play a HexBlade, so I guess thanks for the build too. xD
Love your videos. One big hug from Spain.
I just finished re-immersing in the LoK series-all time favorite, or one of. Love to see it
Can't believe he doesn't even have a single level in any Martial class. Great build, very different from how I pictured Kain.
Legacy of Kain content in God's Year of 2023 gives me life and waters my crops.
Woohoo! It's here guys! Thank you Tulok, your blessings are indeed wonderous
Hey Tulok, nice video !
Do you plan on continuing your multiclassing tier list videos ? I loved what you have done so far, and was curious.
Saw the lore on this game a few weeks ago so I’m glad this was in the works that whole time
It would be an injustice to not do a Raziel build so please tell me you've got plans for a Raziel build
Aw yess, love this series.
This is absolutely perfect
Thank you so much. It’s nice to see some more love for Legacy of Kain as a franchise.
Heavily seconded, it's an awesome series.
@@jurtheorc8117 All I ever wanted was a proper ending.
Wow never thought I would see a Kain build
VAE VICTIS!!!!!
Coincindally my character that i play is called Kain, cause i'm a LoK fan since day 1 when i firs played Blood Omen.
Even tho its NOT a 1:1 character.
He's a Mix of Kain, and Guts and he's a Dark Knight (Vengeance paladin/Hexblade) Tiefling.
Suppose you roll a d20 enough times. Suppose one day, it lands on its edge.
Vae Victis! Kain in the most GOATed of Vampires and the series is my favorite game series
Half expected a bamboozle, making him an Undead instead of Hexblade for more vampire flavor but ya can't beat how good it feels to be SAD.
Always been vaguely aware of the Legacy of Cain series, so is neat vicariously learn things about it through this.
I loved these games
9:43 “Chronomancy is the strongest magic of all” is that an Arthur Aguefort shoutout? Lol
My evil boi is gettin some love but I need some Raziel in my life
Holding out for Chai from Hifi Rush!
Also great video! Legacy of Kain is slept on.
I know most DMs hate firearms in DnD, but I can't help but feel a Ranger/Bard build would make for a fun Buster Scruggs character. 🤠🎶
Man, I love these videos. Could you do Mal and/or some other characters from Firefly?
Now give us Raziel! Can't have the Legacy of Kain without him.
Thank you for Kain! I was hoping for a character like him to be able to play.
I wonder if you can make an Elric of Melniboné episode.
These two classes are one of my favorite combos to play...
The coin is still turning, Raziel!
Kain!!! Vae victis!
you must have been reading my mind, I thought about this at least three times in the past month.
I'd like to see how you would go about making the crew from firefly/serinity in D&D. I've been working on how to make Mal, but can't seem to get him right
6:34 Knack build when?! Don't think I missed that one!
I caught that D20 reference! CHRONOMANCY!
Yayy Legacy of Kain! ❤
So happy you did Kain! Especially after having done Raziel
When did he? Or is it not on RUclips yet?
@@rRecoveryProd could've sworn he did Raziel a long time ago.
@@bplatinumpaladin Nope. Searched it. Found nothing.
@@rRecoveryProd weird. Could've sworn he even made jokes about "Sucking" and that he's a Wraith, but not that kind, so he'll be a Reborn." Went Warlock Hexblade with Shadowblade spell and a bunch of other similar stuff.
Thanks.
Finally I can Defy Destiny and use my Kain Miniature I bought.
Since we've dipped into Dhampir, could we get a build for Donovan Bane from Darkstalkers? He's got a big symbiotic sword, but looks like a monk, so i dinno what you'd wanna do there.

Suppose you flip a coin enough times it lands on its edge?
I would love to see a Nimona build, from the new movie. I’d guess Druid or Barbarian. Maybe a multiclass :3
A Legacy of Kain video? Tulok is a fellow Barbarian of culture I see. Any chance of a Raziel video to round out the set?
I know you did a tmnt Michelangelo but I'd be interested in you doing a tmnt Michelangelo last ronin version
My man is finally out for the rest of you. :D
Lovely
After showing this to my father, he said that he's going to use it for his DND character!
I'm surprised you didn't take the noble background as he was a noble but I do understand why you didn't. Interesting choices, I love this, I think I'm gonna try to make Raziel now
Okay, but how can I make the Balance Reaver?
And will you use footage from Defiance for that?
Ya know, just cuz
This is a super random request, but do you think you can do how to play “Brundlefly” from The Fly?
Goodman, good morning, could you do Kaido or Ywach?
Any chance we could get a Raziel DnD Build?
How long has this been in the Making cause I just finished a Legacy of Kain Retrospective video yesterday
HELL YEAH KAIN!!
Can you make an Azula build?
I built Raziel once. It was a heavily homebrewed build though.
cant wait for Raziel
Can you do Beast from X-Men next?
Man I;m just wondering how you go footage, it seems the steam versions are broken.
Could you do Thrax from Osmosis Jones please
would anyone know how viable this would be for pathfinder?
9:42 Was that a Fantasy High reference?
Actually, the Vampire race is from the Plane Shift pdfs, not a UA. Plane Shift: Ixalan, if I'm not mistaken
But yeah, Dhampir's close enough😊
KAIN!
How do I access the character on patreon?
Alas poor Tulok, I knew him well. Well, not really.
TL,DW: Kane build is so busted, the only things that could possibly beat him are the Ice Climbers, Master Chief and Poison Ivy builds...
What happens if you drop a vampire in a container full of maggots?
HEY VIKTOR!
Don't most DMs ban Coffeelock shenanigans though?
Vampire build!!!
I love Raising Canes
See now we need Raziel
Vae Victis!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've said it before, warlocks make for pretty good tanks
Gosh yesterday was exhausting. First day of my new job in The Mines. Anyways, here’s day 22 of requesting a build video for Abraham Lincoln from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
OH SHIT MY SON!
Please please please please please do raziel next
Woah! This video came out just in time for day 21 of requesting a build video for Abraham Lincoln from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter!!!
Holy crap I’m the 21st comment on this video this is so insane
Is there a new Kaine game coming? Because this seems kind of random...
BRING US RAZIEL!
Can I request Hunter the Cheetah from Spyro?!??
First. Calling Dhampir.
Called it.
Hanzo from OW????
A Dhampir Sorlock named Kain who's got the 2 most edgiest subclasses for Warlock and Sorcerer. This game probably came out in the 90's when people thought being real edgy was super cool, and they're right, Kain seems pretty cool.
Yeah, late 90s early 00s. Also! Kain's not edgy! He's just intentionally unlikeable.
Isaac netero next
Vae Victus!
