Legado de Kain

Who are you?

My name is Alfonso Ruzafa, from Torreperogil. Currently I work in Barcelona as software developer.

There are encoded with the Ogg codec, a open source audio encoded technology. You could find more info in the the website of Vorbis.

Why do you not include walkthroughs or image galleries in your website?

You will probably find such stuff hosted in other websites that you will find the the links section.

Why there aren't forums?

Mainly because of my lack of time to maintain them. Secondly I choosed to focus more on the reference contents of the website. Surely you will find what you're looking in the links section.

Legacy of Kain

Where can I download games from?

My advice is that you try to get the games legally. So you will motive Crystal Dynamics and Eidos to meet the popular petition creating a new episode.

When will be Legacy of Kain 6 released?

I don't know. I don't make the games nor I don't know more than what appears in the official page of Eidos or in his official forums. You will hear invented rumors but don't believe anything if that doesn't come from these official sites.

When will be announced a Legacy of Kain film?

At the moment there is only rumors maked by the hot minds of the fans of the saga. However the film industry increasingly relies on comics and videogames to make movies. Eidos has already brought Tomb Raider or Hitman. Although nothing is confirmed it's not surprising that some day Legacy of Kain come to the big screen.

Where can I buy a Legacy of Kain game?

If you don't find it in any videogame shop you could try in any auction web portal or any second-hand buying and selling bulletin board.

How can I request Eidos will publish a new game?

You must write a letter (not a email) to Crystal Dynamics to show how much you'd like to see a new episode. Here you have their address:

Crystal Dynamics Attention: LoK Series Producer 64 Willow Place Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA

Why is Vorador live in Blood Omen 2?

There is still a number of events whose explanation has yet not been given. The Vorador's resurrection is one of them and is expected to be resolved in a hypotetical future episode.

Exists any patch to translate the games to my language?

No, as far I know, except Blood Omen Español maybe.

Exists any book based on Legacy of Kain or vice versa?

The interview with Denis Dyack shows how he got inspired on certain books to create the character of Kain and the world of Nosgoth. However this doesn't mean that Legacy of Kain is based on such books or some other, just that certain books have been able to inspire those responsible for creating this story.

Similarly, Legacy of Kain may have influenced other authors to create stories that make winks to the events happened in the saga.

What is the games releasing date order?

  1. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain in 1.996 for PSX and PC
  2. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver in 1.999 for PSX, PC and Dreamcast
  3. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 in 2.001 for PS2 and PC
  4. Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen in 2.002 for PS2, XBox, NGC and PC
  5. Legacy of Kain: Defiance in 2.003 for PSX, Xbox and PC

Blood Omen Español

The patch only translates the beginning of Blood Omen.

It's as far as has been possible to create the patch with the money used from donations. If you think you could help me, please, visit the Blood Omen Español section.

Blood Omen gets freezed after a video reproduction.

Try to use an anti-freeze.

I have a problem/I don't know how to install the patch.

When all else fails, read, read and back to read the manual.

When will be the patch ready definitely?

Supposedly, when all dialogues of the game are dubbing. This should not be so complicated. Unfortunately this cost money and I've done the impossible to bringing forward what was and remains a personal project I wanted to share with the spanish speaker community of Legacy of Kain.

However, this tremendously slow project needs from donations to keep up.

How much money is needed?

It is very difficult to give an exact amount because the price paid for a study of dubbing varies from one to another. But you can make your own estimates, knowing that one hour of study costing (approximately) around € 90-100 per hour.

Excluding contingencies, diets and work selflessly for my free and I believe it is not so difficult to raise the money needed. Only a little lack of cooperation on your part.

Would not it be easier to make a patch that adds subtitles instead of make a dubbing?

No, it is more complicated. A dubbing patch replaces English chunks in a game file by identical Spanish chunks.

A subtitles system requires a more advanced knowledge of programming (which until today I have not purchased) and that we must deal directly with the executable to display the graphics along with the subtitles, not counting to be included another method with synchronization of these subtitles with the time in which to appear.
