Hi there!
I discovered something playing thru the campaign, and that is 2 characters from completely different games being simlair.
Zeratul from StarCraft and Raziel from Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver.
The names have been several similar letters. Raziel - Zeratul - R A Z E L (same letters)
Both have a mask covering his mouth up to his eyes.
Both have similar coat.
Both have similar skin color.
Both have a large green blade on the right arm.
Both have similar body and posture.
Both have similar feet.
Zeratul:

Raziel:

Anyone ever played Soul Reaver that just got reminded?
Anyways this is just for fun and something I discovered.
Cheers!

That's might be a reference to Zeratul, BW is older than that game
|
Never thought of it, you have a point.
|
Zeratul came out about a year before her though =D
|
More like Raziel = Zeratul.

Probably, but I didnt mean Zeratul if a copy of Raziel, I just took them in that order for no reason.

Exactly, it's pretty interesting how many games have little bits from other games
p.s. zeratul has cooler hair!

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, fav Playstation 1 game <3 and no shit they're similar.
EDIT.
Oh shit you can play it on PC, never knew it o_O

I can agree that Soul Reaver is an amazing game, but still, Metal Gear Solid is pretty much unbeatable.

Only by a few months though.
Edit: Ok maybe a year and a few months... woops

Yeah I always thought the 2 designs were very similar, especially since they share the same poses in a lot of pictures, here to illustrate my point:

I love both games though, I don't think it was a rip-off since Zeratul's design was less detailed in his first appearances, I'd say mutual inspiration as the games evolved

Zeratul was in the original SC though, which came out a year and a half before that one.

bw zeratul doesnt look too similar to sc2 zeratul anyway. sc2 zeratul may have borrowed its image from her.

you'd think equality would be symmetric.

Raziel is a guy! Stop calling him a girl hahah. Netherless its quite interesting to be honest.
@Tuthur, that's pretty cool,
|
Damn I'm gonna go have to play Soul Reaver now  I really loved that game as a child, very interesting though 
|
Ahh Soul Reaver.. Still remember the cinematics and how amazed I was back then..

How come? It's not about the game/s itself
