Jesus, you put me in a tight position here, huh, almost like being stuck inside a sword =). I just think that almost any story would be better than just kain watching the collapsed pillars for eternity wondering that raziel gave him hope. Of course the next story would have to fit and probably be able to create a second or third game. But, correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t the elder kain’s objective all along to alter history, believing that raziel holds the key which would unbalance in favor of the vampire race, thus eliminating the hylden and moebius for good and restoring balance for nosgoth without having to sacrifice himself? My initiative is try to build that puzzle with you all so we can find a consensus/possible solution to fit the next game. So I’ll try to answer Emsi’s questions by being more specific about that possible story during pre-BO2. Vorador is revived and begins his rituals turning humans into vampires, raziel would be able to get out of the sword sometimes and would act as elder kain’s right arm. And, yes, the elder kain tries to meet his younger self to tell him about the potential betrayal and, consequently, to try to persuade the potential traitor vampires by offering them more power (trying to repair his previous mistake of being too authoritarian). During these events, the potential traitor vampires followers of sebastian and sebastion himself can’t die, because they are already protected by a hylden spell, since the hylden are persuading them too. They can only be locked some place. So, as story develops, meeting younger kain would fail for some reason, and elder kain and raziel would have to take some measures in order to imprison these vampires someplace. Thus, younger kain would be able to recruit now loyal vampires in order to win the battle. And, now that the elder god sees raziel in action, he finds an opportunity to revive moebius. The elder god would manipulate human hunters to kill raziel in the material realm, so he can have a chance to obtain moebius’ soul from raziel in the ghost realm, thus bringing him back to life and continue his mission of eliminating kain and other vampires (when raziel moves to the ghost spectral, the sword in the real spectral would lose its special feature). Possible outcomes: i) younger kain with his new army wins the battle, because he gets equipped with the special sword at the end, which would definitely kill the hylden and moebius + he restores balance = end of LOK series (would be only 1 game to end the series); ii) his plan fails during the battle, because the traitors are unlocked by the hylden. So, the traitors fight on the hylden side and younger kain loses the battle (the story happening again but in different form). I’d go for number ‘ii’, which would lead to a second game. This one would occur during the period when younger kain is in coma. The challenge would be to secure younger kain’s life (if younger kain dies, then elder kain would die also), since their intervention made on the previous game unleashed real threats to younger kain (the elder god was successful resurrecting moebius, for example). I know this story probably has some flaws. Even if it doesn’t add anything to a possible solution, well, at least I tried.
