This official FAQ is comprised of questions and answers exchanged between Crystal Dynamics test manager Chris "Chris@Crystal" Bruno and the Legacy of Kain fan community on the Eidos Forums, prior to July 2002. When the Eidos Forums were revamped, losing their original content, Legacy of Kain fan Divine Shadow collected Bruno's posts and archived them at the new Forums. The FAQ is archived here at the Legacy of Kain Wiki for historical purposes and posterity's sake.
