Trivia / Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

• What Could Have Been: Blood Omen was originally a Sega Saturn exclusive before moving to the PS1. According to previews, the Saturn version seemed to run more smoothly.
  • The game originally contained a chess match between Kain and Vorador, played with living pieces, right before their first meeting, where Kain would have to either cheat using Control Mind to checkmate Vorador, or lose/forfeit and fight the pieces to reach him. It was completed to a playable state, but a serious bug was found in it just prior to release, so the entire sequence was cut at the last minute so as not to delay the game.
  • The game was originally titled Pillars of Nosgoth due to their importance in the story. For that matter, Moebius was originally "Bridenal" and Vorador, for a time, was called "Infernum" before being renamed back to Vorador.
  • An alternate prelude to the final battle was datamined, which appears to cut the character of Hash'ak'gik completely and instead has Mortanius provide a motivation for his murder of Ariel independent of Demonic Possession.
  • A "succubus" enemy type exists in the files; the temptresses would attempt to coax Kain to partake of their flesh, and attempt to kill him should he decline.
