Shengali you are right on the mark as usual.

1) the first obvious reason, Vorador is still alive

---

V is alive because the timeline changed, Raz and future Kain were both supposed to be dead but aren't. Ever stop to think perhaps they save him.

2) the second obvious reason, Janos is also still alive

---

Janos may have never actually died by having his heart removed, I presume Kain doesn't want Raz to restore the heart because it will mean that Janos gets used as a battery and then thrown into the demon dimension.

3) the sudden introduction of the Hylden, who was never mentioned before, but only vaguely described in SR2, and also the very last minute

---

Never mentioned, who do you think Kain was talking aboutat the entrance to the destroyed Aerie. They are not showing themselves. They are mentioned by name right at the end to bait everyone to want to get the next game to find out who the Hylden are.

4) the REALLY awkward attemp to establish the continuity going from BO, BO2, and SR1

---

The stories fit together fine, the reason things don't seem to is because THE TIMELINE WAS CHANGED and so the events of SR that had to happen did(eg teh events in the millenia before SR when Raz serves Kain and the events of SR), but the others may not have(the events before Raz was raised) as such new memories "were being born and dying in Kain's eyes".

5) what seems like just sheer negligence of anything that is monumental in Nosgoth were hardly ever bought up BO2, certainly, no pillars scene, swamp scene, etc were included into the game

---

Because the story did not take place near them, for sh!ts sake. Meridian is in the deep south eastern area of Nosgoth, as such lets have the characters reminising about the good old days of truding through V's swamp, seeing the pillars, or J's Aerie for absolutely no rational reason. I must have missed the bit where the Hylden city was located near the Pillars.

6) lastly, although the Iron armor were included in the game, it can never be obtained by normal game play. which could be considered as no connections at all to the other games

---

Only a moron would think it stops the games connecting. You have significant characters, items, place and events all connecting the games, if you think because they add an iron armor cheat as a bit of nostalgia for people who played the first game it stops the games connecting then you are a grade A moron. What next, the cheats to get the different reavers in SR1 means that it isn't connected to SR2?

Crystal Dynamics and Eidos must have been smoking crack when they were making BO2. It does not fit into the legacy of Kain series at all. First of all, Vorador, Umah, and all the other vampires in the cabal could'nt have been there cause Kain was the last surviving vampire at the end of BO1. Also, if you read page 9 of the instruction manual of BO2 it says that at the end of BO1, Kain became the commander of an army of vampires, which isn't possible because he was the sole surviving vampire in Nosgoth. BO2 has one of the saddest storylines I've ever heard, but it's still a fun game

More likely you have been smoking crack. Your observations, across most every thread, I have noticed are stupid, you need to pay more attention to the games and think before posting. BO2 IS A DIFFERENT TIMELINE, the vampires obviously were not wiped out since the paradox that causes the changes took place centuries before BO1 as such even the events of that game may not have played out exactly the same way, except for the ones that had to eg. Kain becoming a vampire, the destruction of the pillars and the circle.
