I think the implications go further than that and it might have something to do with Janos falling into the Hylden Hilton and what further evil plan the Hylden come up with using Janos. (Lot of anal probing jokes here).

If Kain can see that the Hylden use Janos to power the machine he should be able to also see that he is able to destroy the device and kick ass in general.

And those are always fun jokes.
I do wonder what's going to happen to him in there.... ***

well, the stuff about the altered timeline and stuff makes sense. so if janos stays dead, the hylden still break through due to kain damning the pillars, but they cant use him to power the device.
so i guess they just kinda hang out powerlessly in the original timeline, not even noticed? thanks for the info though people. i'm sure i'll still be scratching my head about this stuff until sr3 though, i guess. |

According to some of the speech in BO2, the Hylden couldn't stay/survive in Nosgoth unless the gate stayed open.
Now, that coupled with the claim that the pillars banished the Hylden, and the ideas of the races being alien to Nosgoth.... It all seems to imply that the Hylden first lived in the demon realm, came through the gate, the pillars closed the gate, the majority of the hylden left. Later, pillars collapse, gate reopens, Kain closes it, with Janos inside. |

The SL gets out because Kain destroyed the Pillar of Balance. You learn this when Janos is resturned to his normal self after you destroy the mass. As to why Janos needs to stay dead well, we will just have to wait and see.

I'm not so sure that the dimension from where the Hylden came from and the dimension to where they were banished is the same one. The Hylden seemed so pissed off about being sent there, and the Sarafan Lord said that their banishment somehow degenerated the entire race. I would imagine that it would've happened already before they came to Nosgoth...

Re: The SL | ||

Okay, I wanna say that before my reason for Janos staying dead was only based on what we know so far. Like someone else said "we'll see". There are probably other reasons, but as they are yet to be known, I couldn't list them.
Alright, everyone is saying the Hylded came from a demon dimension...sorry, not everyone. Anyways, no one ever asks where the Ancients come from. Everyone seems to think they all just started in Nosgoth. Isn't it possible that the Hylded also started in Nosgoth. That would explain the war: it was about which was the dominant species. I agree that they were banished to the demon realm, and that it really sucks for them. I wonder how they used to look? The SL said that it degenerated them. So, if they look soo ugly, and according to the pictures, they're still ugly...what did they look like before? the Seer? I mean, when you get to the Hylden city there are some pics on the walls and such....but... ...man, they're just sooo ugly!!! |

Wait before you guys start to pummel me with insults, I was in the understanding that the reaver was created during the time of the blue ancients. Aradiel in your timeline you state that the reaver was created when Janos was killed, but wasnt it made long before? I just saw Janos reveal the reaver to Raz in SR2. I understand that Janos went into the other dimension at the end of BO2, but does it really matter that he did? If he stayed dead he wouldn't have gone in yes, but i just don't think it matters. I just thought it was important that he stay dead, because in BO2 Janos was that beast that was powering the hylden city with his blood. So I thought if he would have stayed dead, that would not have happened and than the city would not exist or at least not have power. Correct me if I'm wrong because I feel I am.

Re: . | ||

There more than likely another reason why Janos must stay dead, It'll probably be revealed in SR3. We don't know yet for obvious reasons. The part about the reaver being created at the time of death: I think they were talking about the Soul Reaver, the one with Raziel's soul in it('cause it happens not long after Janos' death in the original timeline).

Ya they probably were. Because when you say "reaver" I naturally implied that they meant the original reaver without Raziel's soul.

Re: . | ||

Yes, the Soul Reaver is created just after Janos' death, the Blood Reaver is created beforehand. How long? We don't know.

well it's nice to know that CD is preparing for more Blood Omens and Soul Reavers. I have the strongest feeling that the series won't stop with SR3 and BO3. As much as I want the series to continue, I want closure allready. There is so much that is unanswered.
