It's left ambiguous. Completely moot.
I don’t doubt its meaning didn’t register with you. That’s hardly to say it’s moot because its meaning is quite clear for people with an IQ over 70. But, ignore facts. Sucha tactic is your best friend. However, a general call to everyone. How ambiguous is that line? What does it say when you read it? It clearly says that Vorador has fallen prey to what many warriors do - a lack of competitiona nd challenge weakens one’s power and raises arrogance. But, ambiguous...yes...facts and clear dialogue are not your friend.
And uh, centuries worth of knowledge and combatting people is not exactly worthless in a sword fight, you twit. Skill requires experience and Kain has a lot more experience with the Soul Reaver than Dante has with any of his blades.
Wrong.Kain wasn't conquering for any "thousand years". In one hundred years humanity was completely domesticated. Kain sat on his ass for centuries.
Compared to Vorador being far older and more experience, surviving in a realm where Vampire's are hunted by Sarafan warriors.
Oh yes...Vorador truly lived in a harsh life in a giant mansion. He must have just been constantly besieged by attackers. Where is your quote humanity died after a hundred years? Where is your proof “Kain sat on his ass for centuries”? I’d love to know and I don’t think anyone will be shocked if it came right from your ass.
His intentions behind that actions weren't yet clarified. The biggest theory is that he did the deed to speed up the process of him being the Scion of Balance, making Raziel take a split role, blah blah. It's unclarified, it could have well been jealousy.
Kain:
At last! I must say, I'm disappointed in your progress, I imagined you would be here sooner. Tell me, did it trouble you to murder your brothers?
Raziel:
Did it trouble you when you ordered me into the abyss!?
Kain:
No. I had faith in you, in your ability to hate. In your self-righteous indignation.
— Clearly shows he knew Raziel would survive. I don’t think you qualify as an objective person so your opinion matters little. If you played the games and think Kain did it out of only jealousy then you’re a fool. If you shrug off him doing it, then you’re even more of one. It was the first step in a plan that spanned time and could ahve gone wrong should the slightest miscalculation occur. Kain, through his own machinations and intellect, helped make Raziel’s free will to set in the plan to find “the third option.”
Oh please. With Moebius' staff involved Kain would be crippled like a little baby, again. You haven't provided any documentations of Kain's alleged immunity to Vampire Hunters with a staff that leaves him crippled.
You didn’t read one word I said... I said he was clever and intelligent. That has nothing to do with physical weakness. Kain is smart and he would not let himself fall prey to Moebius and his group of bloodthirsty genocidal lunatics if he could not survive. He made the mistake only once to approach Moebius and he didn’t even know his staff effected vampires. Kain, no matter how dim and feeble you deem him, is not dim by any means and wouldn’t wander into a situation he could not walk out from.
Vorador was the last. All were dead before he was even captured. He says so in Defiance. The purges were over when Kain arrived. That's all there is to it. You're working off your interpretations of ambiguous quotes, imagery and what you think happened. I'm going by what Vorador and Moebius said. After Vorador's destruction, the purge was over.
Okay..so the purge was over. Kain SAW Vorador die. So, in the split second Moebius took to talk to the crowd after Vorador was beheaded, the mighty vampire hunters spread to every corner, demobolised and Kain fought only the remnant? Please. Kain was there when Vorador died and Kain was the last. Moebius said so himself as he pointed him out to the crowd. Play through the game again or don’t talk.
Looks like you just contradicted yourself in that same sentence. Vorador killed him. Kain couldn't.
Repeat: No one could kill Malek. He was a soul trapped in armor. That could very well mean good old Janos couldn’t. Or any other being in Nosgoth. Maybe your Dnate couldn’t. If we don’t know how Vorador did it, it’s not a huge testament to his power because one could argue Malek could kill huge scores of any game character.
No, because Vorador killed them too fast. Regardless, these Guardians had the power of the Pillars. Prove that the ones Kain fought were more powerful-oh wait, you can't.And Moebius wasn't there. What, did you expect the Guardian of State or Conflict to send a time traveling entity on you?
Okay...so the Pillar guardians of old were simply people bound to the pillar. They wielded no extraordinary power. If you remember, all they did was call for Malek. If you have exceptional power, you don’t need protection so badly that all you do is scream for him while doing NOTHIGN ELSE. Killed them too fast? That woman and the other man were screaming for help long before Vorador actually killed them. They showed no proof of their power and therefore your claim that they were somehow just overwhelmed by Voador is false on its face. Or tell me - if you had these unseen, unknown but clearly evident power, would you be doing nothing but calling for help instead of mounting a resistance?
Prove they were weak. You can't- oh wait, your beloved proof: "They looked weak facing Vorador!" Good! Too bad that's begging the question, logical fallacy.
And it’s too bad your brain has been dissolved by fanboyism. Check back and look at the scene. The one Pillar guardian who did actually fight back hurled one energy ball and then it showed he was out of power. Oh...what a mighty display. He wasn’t weak at all.
The fact is, they were not only weak against Vorador, they were weak against anyone with a slight bit of power. The Circle members in Kain’s time are transforming the land into a twisted expanse of horrid monstrosities in Dark Eden, letting loose a horde of demons to destroy and kill everything in Avernus as well as as the Cathedral and saving waves of undead at Kain. So, we have ancient Pillars member Vorador killed running away after throwing one weak energy bolt and out of gas and then we have twisted psychotic mentalist who tortures people and sewed his eyes shut. Nah...I think anyone with any semblance of a brain can see there is a big difference in power ratio.
Accept it.They had the exact same heart, for Christ's sake!
And that makes them the same how...? Kain is a vampire unlike any other in Nosgoth and far removed from Janos who belongs to the Ancients. The level of power is different. If Janos was the ultimate powerhouse, he’d kinda be the Scion of Balance. Yet, Vampire lore states that that person is Kain. So, unless the vampires were placing their faith in a being weaker than other vampires currently living, I would say Kain must have something Janos does not.
There won't be. The series is dead. Don't hold your breath.
Luckily moronic hate-mongers driven by spite like yourself are not in Crystal Dynamics. So you’ll pardon me if I give two craps on yoru worthless and shallow emnity.
