An Alternate Introduction

article by Ben Lincoln

 

Prerelease versions of Soul Reaver introduced the player to the world of Nosgoth in a different way than the retail game.

The opening FMV and cinematic contained alternate dialogue delivered by Michael Bell, although it was closer to the final version than some others (see Early Versions of The Story).

When Raziel emerges into the ruins of the world, a more noticeable change is evident. Where the final version of the game has a single cinematic at The Sanctuary of The Clans, earlier versions split that dialogue up between it and another one at The Lake of The Dead. In the prerelease Sanctuary cinematic, Raziel exclaims "damn you! how many ages did you bind me in your grasp?", and The Elder God replies "A millennium, or a moment? We who stand outside the rim of time dwell not in past or future ages; there is only the now."
