I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this. I've just started replaying it for the third time. I love it.

Someone here must have played it! :?

I have, and i very much enjoyed it. I loved the twist and the storyline, which, considering that it was made by the same people who procesed Knights of the Old Republic, is no suprise.

I obviously know who the former name you mentioned is, but have no knowledge of the latter. Who is this Simon Templeman, and what role did he play within the game?

I did also like the inclusion of "Chi", within this game. The concept of Chi is an anicent and interesting; and I liked the fact that it was included in this game.

My particular favourite parts of the game were the ones where you get to choose to be good or bad; take a guess which one of those two i chose?

Simon Templeman voiced Kai-Lan the Serpent. He was also several Sith in the KOTOR games, but his biggest and best is as Kain in the Legacy of Kain series. Within moments of hearing Kai-Lan begin to speak, I knew it had to be Simon Templeman. No-one else sounds like him.

My worship of Simon Templeman as a voice actor is down to more than just a distinctive and imposing voice though. Kain always gets great lines, including such gems as:

Random enemy: "Surrender and I promise you an easy death!"
Kain: "I could promise the same...but it would be a lie."


and:

"The town of Steinchencroe bore with it the infamous aroma of its inhabitants. In life, I would not have graced the place with my presence; in death, I merely added to the stench."

I killed the Serpent. I play the game and love the plot, and how we get to be good or bad. Oh, i love how i can have relationships between characters. The dashing rogue....sky. my favorite man. N-e-ways. I saw ya'll talking about the serpent and stuff, but i just beat the arena and am now at the fortress, i know that Zu dies...my twin told me. sunder already played it three times so i finally gave in and played...it turned out great. :D
The sands of time cannot be stopped, they flow fast and unyielding in one direction. Years pass whether we will them to or not, but we can remember. What has been lost may yet live on in memory. Remembering that which was lost makes the remembrance dearer.
