The absence of the sequence from the final game caused Silicon Knights to address the issue in their FAQ. The sequence was publicized in early magazine review, previews and guides - notably issue 30 of EGM2 from December 1996 - which mentioned and featured images of the chess match. Background "Why pretend, child? Face your fate as a mortal!" ―Vorador - Listen ( file info) Īlthough not implemented in the final game, the Chess match was one of the most well known pieces of cut content related to Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. The sequence was ultimately removed before the retail release of Blood Omen due to the prevalence of bugs within. Failure to pick the correct move would result in all of the pieces coming to life an turning on Kain - with it then necessary to fight and kill all of them for the door to open and Kain to progress. Watching the move made by Vorador, Kain was required to pick the correct piece and move it in the correct way to place Vorador in checkmate - this would result in all the pieces falling dead, Vorador congratulating Kain and the door to the dining room opening where Kain could meet with the elder vampire.
Just before Kain met with Vorador he was to enter a room where he would be challenged by Vorador to a chess match on a life size board with living beings as pieces which were moved using the Control Mind spell.
The Chess match was intended to appear at the end of the Vorador's Mansion chapter and acted as something of a boss encounter for Vorador.
