I’ve heard some outrageous claims that Legacy of Kain was one of the best stories of all time in gaming, which I’m not so sure about. As is always the case with vampires, the quest soon became one of betrayal, classic “I tricked you into doing this all along” setups and almost half an hour of cut-scenes that, honestly, were pretty good for its time. ![]() You were turned as a basic vampire and sent on a simple quest for revenge.
