Umah would had been far less a pain in the ass character if she was killed at the end of the training, although she had no dark gifts Kain could steal.

I can't stand those characters too that are dropped into a story out of blue and getting too much spotlight than needed, especially if they make the main characters look bad or even taking the leading role from them.Β

I know what ya mean. Kain knows how to jump, he knows how to leap and hit and all that he didn't need some ditz to like tell how to do the basics all over again. I just...hated Umah. She was such a poorly mushed together in a hurry kinda of character.Β People say it's because I'm opposed to having a female inΒ a LOKΒ game and it's not that at all.... it just make her a character in the same way you would make any of the male characters. Since ya know making a strong character should have nothing to do with gender...... aghh UMAH!!! BAHHH!! So bad!

Trainings are often awkward in games (top "fave" is still Tomb Raider 4 when her mentor talked to Lara "press forward and hold action" ) the problem is when the trainer character gets an excessively overrated role instead of getting out of the story when the training is done.Β
I don't mind if a story is lacking in female characters. The "just because there are no females in it" is such a weak excuse for inserting poorly written females or mary sues who're also making the main characters look bad. I hate the most when females get inserted for romantic interests, some stories just don't need romance so shouldn't force that onto them. There's the Hobbit 2 movie for example, inserting that elven mary sue was enough to ruin this film and probably also the upcoming 3rd one. Umah is the same bandwagon bad character, true it's not about the gender as the Seer wasn't irritating, but Umah was an annoyance all along.Β

Ya see that is the thing I hate about most female characters... they are put there for romantic interest... and it always seems to be that way. Why can't we have a kick ass female that wants to rule the world and not have her being there for simple eye candy.Β Although I do have to say in the past 10 years females in game have made progress, they are not usually as ditzy or clingy, although some still obviously are. It's still gonna take a few more years to make more progression. Honestly if they had written a good female character that could stand on her own two feet, not get caught by the Sarafan and help Kain in perhaps terms of information *maybe be more of a spy although I think Umah was she was just bad at it*Β instead of saying this how we fight sorta idea, I think the game would of been a lot better. I mean if Vorador was going to send someone to help Kain she should be a tad bit more clever... I mean she was going off to help Kain.....ya don't just send anyone to help Kain.... But Vorry never thought things through I guess. But in the end really anything better then UMAH
BBTW I'm very glad to still see you drawing LOK fanart.... I miss the series sadly, but seeing nice fanart always brings a smile to my face.

Romance seems to be a necessary cliche lately in movies and games, in my opinion it's purpose is only to draw the 13 yrs old girls to the fanbase though the developers trying to conceal it as a "tool to add more depth to the character". Β That's bullshit, romantic ties don't make a character any better, rather spoiling it whenever a warrior morphs into a wuss in the presence of a woman.Β
I still like the classic Lara Croft, though the promo materials made her a slutty covergirl, the in-game character was a real loner only cared with obtaining a relic. Crystal Dynamics softened her up to a sentimental princess with tragic past, maybe the graphics got better, but their Lara character rather deserved a boot in her ass. Heavy Metal FAKK2 had also a kickass female character, but that game is about 13-14 yrs old too.Β
I don't think there was any need for female characters in Blood Omen 2, the Seer could have been fair enough but Umah was all unnecessary. If Kain got trained by a male vampire it wouldn't made any difference, also his training could have been made with the whisper, a voice telling to the gamer how to control Kain and where to go. Umah was unnecessary storywise too, Vorador never cared with his women so why would pay special interests to Umah, Kain also never bothered with others and he was always a distrustful loner who hated any companion so why would he needed Umah. Even her information about the nexus stone wasn't vital, when the spy guy rushed in talking about Umah's capture and she found something important in the industrial quarter, that was enough information to Kain to take a look around there and find out the important thing himself regardless to Umah was rescued or not.Β
I'm glad you like my stuff, maybe I'm moved away from the Legacy of Kain title (to be honest I did tried to like the SR/Defiance games but deep inside they were a big NO since first playing) I still strongly like the Blood Omens and drawing related stuff.Β

Well either or it's good to see someone out there still drawing cool vampires

Yup, Umah was annoying.Β

I just want to send a lovely gift basket to whoever had the idea to have Kain kill her off at the end of the game. Thank you, good sir or madam. Giving Kain a love interest is about the worst thing you can do to fuck up his character.

Could have been much better if Umah was killed right at the end of the training chapter, all her importance was to show the controlling for the newbie gamers and was an absolutely unnecessary character later on. Her presence was a harm to Vorador's and Kain's character. I found that certain queen-line a goof as it was so not Kain to talk like that so I ignored those words but still some fans seen more in it than it was and made up the Umah and Kain are a pair crap. The creators realized too soft feelings would make Kain screwed up still they should had junked the queen-line for good.
π: 0 β©: 1
I choose to see it as something Kain said simply to dig at her. She was dying, he saw her as a traitor, and he wanted her to suffer both physically and psychologically, so he told her she could have been great. I can believe that they were superficially together, as in sharing a bed, but Kain wouldn't have used her for anything but sex.
I think her relationship with Vorador, as sort of his daughter, had some potential. The problem was it was never fleshed out. She could be a sympathetic character - someone who got involved with Kain with good intentions, not realizing or refusing to believe that she was dealing with a tiger - but it seems like the developers put no effort into her whatsoever. I would have written her as a tragic character in that way, with her story arc being a cautionary tale about how love ISN'T enough, ISN'T all powerful, and WON'T save you.

I found it a goof, a typical off-sentence that usually occurs in movies too, making one say Wut? and ignoring it. I liked when Kain killed Umah, it was like when cats toying with the mouse they caught, not killing it instantly but leaving it believe it can escape. It made Kain look more merciless as he did not only killed his enemies but also his allies once they got into his way. But the queen-line was totally off. As for vampire love and sex stuff, leave those to the Anne Rice or L.K.Hamilton stories, I quite hate the modern vampire genre as it is all about some "dark romance", daydream stuff for the bored housewives. It was a very positive thing Kain's story was free from that genreic content. Love is something that has no place in Nosgoth.Β
I considered Umah as one of Vorador's brides, disliked Vorador's attention and care for her, when Kain invaded Vorador's mansion and slaughtered all his brides he didn't gave a crap about them so why was the fuss about Umah, he lost one of his minions but still had enough left for replacement.Β

That broad is always annoying. Doesn't matter if your trying to tune her out or not.
π: 0 β©: 1
I found Umah's character far more irritating than the training itself.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol. I did too especially later on in the game. She got really annoying towards the end of the game. My husband said the only thing attractive about her was her boobs. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Umah was irritating, guess no guys like being treated like a helpless kid, also her presence made Kain and Vorador look wrong.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Best thing to happen to Umah 
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahahah

Yup, both tutorials and characters can be damn annoying, at least a tutorial ends at the first chapter, but the unworthy and out of place character keeps annoying almost to the end of the game.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Well most of the time Kain is alone in the game xD She annoys only in the first 2-3 chapters,then in the end she dies xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Her presence made the main characters look wrong, that's where she is annoying, first her presence flared up the "Kain loves Umah" bullshit amongst the fanbase (wish that goof queen-line was binned and Kain killed her in that way he usually treats his victims) also there's Vorador, he always kept many whores as his slaves and never bothered with them so why the heck he was so desperately caring with Umah, that wasn't him to act like that. Well, at least Blood Omen 2 has only 1 annoying character, good rate considering some other titles in the series
π: 0 β©: 1
Anyway,I hope you heard the rumours of the new game called Nosgoth,right? ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
Heard of it but not interested. Just the same bandwagon as Tomb Raider: Guardian of Light to me, random stuff labelled with a popular title without any linking to the source. Also I doubt Square Enix/Crystal Dynamics would ever make anything new under the Legacy of Kain title but another Soul Reaver stuff. Though I love the Blood Omen games a lot the SR side was a deep disappointment in the Legacy title so I kept the Blood Omens but quit with the series.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm still interested to see how it will turn out xD

Really cool^^
I wish that would be possible in the game^^

The most aggravating part of the whole game, not being able to skip the 'training' when I've played the games numerous times lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, some games didn't made it the gamer's choice whether to play the training or not. Only the unskippable bloody long talkie-talkie cutscenes are worse in games.

Not going to make parodies of the whole game, but will make one about Umah's death.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
I didn't played it for a while too, may needs some refreshing
π: 0 β©: 0
I felt the same...Kain's not mentally handicapped he was just out cold for 200 years. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe he was't ready to fight a heavy armoured knight after waking up from a coma, but still he wasn't an 5 years old kid to have such a dumb training. Understandable Kain was irritated by Umah too.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
She did treat him like a child. They should just remake that entire game. It was good, but there's plenty of room for improvement on that one.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true Blood Omen 2 suffered some flaws (Umah's presence was one) but can claim it the drawback of a low budget project, Blood Omen 2 had always been a kind of unwanted child to Crystal, they pumped money into Soul Reaver (their characters, their story) but they never cared with the original source, so I see no chances for any Blood Omen 1 or 2 remake as long as it's not heavily altered beyond recognition to warp it around their goldmine Raziel.Β

I never did like those game tutorials that feature some idiot over enthusiastically yelling " Press the X button to walk. TRY IT NOW!!!!!".
Just imagine an army general in real life shouting at the soldiers " Press Circle to fire. TRY IT NOW!!!!!".
π: 0 β©: 1
Umah could be the perfect chandelier. Just needs to be lit
I like much better those tutorials when the instructions flashing up on the screen than adding an awkward character with an idiotic dialog talking out of the game right to the player for what to press on the controller.Β
Haha that'd be damn pathetic in real life 
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh my, I would love this to happen in the game!
Hehehe :3
We killed her anyway so why couldnt we kill her in the beginning!
π: 0 β©: 1
The sooner the better, her presence did nothing good to Kain's and Vorador's character.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Very true.
Even tho they added Umah to the game, they could have at least explain why was she even there.
Vorador's caring for Umah was a bit disturbing in my opinion XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't felt Umah an important character to miss an explanation about her, rather felt like her role was simply the training and considered her unnecessary for the rest of the story.Β
Both Vorador's and Kain's behaviour with Umah was disturbing, these two would less likely care with anyone, both are selfish in their own ways, Kain is distrustful and anti-social, though Vorador loves being in a companion losing any of his women wasn't a big deal to him, he never cared with them.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
True, their behaviours were way too disturbing.
I was surprised in that moment when Kain was about to fight Sarafan Lord and Vorador and Janos appeared and Kain said that he killed her,Β Vorador was like "WTF why did you do that you monster!" XD
Maybe Umah was the one that brought him back to life after he was killed off so maybe thats why she was so important to him?
I dont know, its just a theory ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
Hated Umah's death scene as it was so out of character for Kain, but that was more like himself when he told Vorador he killed Umah and cared not whether she was a dutiful lieutenant, she crossed his path and got what she deserved. But was out of character for Vorador to go against Kain because of losing one of his bed-mates.Β
I never wondered why was Umah so important to Vorador, she's an imported leftover character from Chakan and Sirens and the developers had no better idea for her than importing her role too from Chakan.Β

Wish he cut short Umah's presence in real too
