*FightingYourFutureSelf: One of the obstacles placed in Kain' s path when he confronts Moebius the Timestreamer, is his own future incarnation. Whether or not this actually is a version of himself from a possible future, or just an illusion conjured by the ever deceitful Time Guardian, is never addressed.

The first game in the ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' series, developed by Creator/SiliconKnights, published by Creator/CrystalDynamics, and released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1996. A Windows port followed a year later.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: {{Downplayed| Trope}}. Kain has a heart to heart talk with Vorador, during which the latter launches into a monologue on how as vampires, they are both essentially gods who are meant to rule the world, and the mortals should be offering their blood to them as a sacrifice. Kain finds that he doesn't -- in principle, at least -- disagree with Vorador; he realizes that much of what Vorador says puts some feelings he has had deep down ever since he became a vampire himself into words. He eventually parts ways with Vorador, with the two of them having agree to an alliance. But with that all said and done, Kain still finds himself rather disgusted with Vorador's decadence and open revelling in the sheer perversity of his own evil, seeing it all as the elder vampire having lost all sense of self-discipline and instead given himself completely over to blind hedonism, and he internally dismisses him as "an decadent old fool".

** Played straight with Kain's reaction to Elzevir the Dollmaker. Kain is arguably at his absolute worst in ''Blood Omen'', fully indulging in his bloodthirsty desires for revenge and slaughter, but even he is disgusted with the implications of what [[{{Ephebophile}} Elzevir plans to do to King Ottmar's daughter.]]

** The Sarafan sorcerer-priests would play a much bigger role in future entries, whereas only the last of them is encountered in ''Blood Omen'', Malek.

* ConnectedAllAlong: The conquest of Nosgoth by the armies of the Nemesis is at first an OutsideContextProblem in relation to Kain's quest to kill the Circle of Nine and undo his curse, but it's implied to be more than that when the oracle of Nosgoth is shown influencing the past self of the Nemesis, William the Just. It then turns out that the entire quest to defeat William the Just was orchestrated by Moebius the Timestreamer, the Pillar of Time in the Circle of Nine, who had been known up until this point as the oracle.
