thanks for the reviews but what i really want to know is what happens in the games (not spoilers. i just want to know where it picks up from.) is blood omen 2 after kain kills the gaurdians of the pillars and refuses to sacrifice himself? if not where does it pick up from. ive gathered from reviews and info about defiance that you play as kain and raziel in different time periods. is raziels directly after the ending of SR2 and where does the kain story pick up from? should i buy blood omen 2 first? im going to get them both sooner or later but id just like to know enough info to decide which first and things like that.
