Behind the Scenes - The Sarafan Keep

article by Ben Lincoln

By using a hacked savegame, it is possible to achieve what Kain himself could never do: reach the main gate of the Sarafan Keep. The gate is just there for show, however.

In the same area, some of the designers' visual techniques are revealed. The "reflection" of the Keep in the water is actually an entire second copy of the model, flipped around into a mirror image. The moon uses forced perspective to seem further away than it actually is. This same trick was used extensively in Defiance for scenery in the distance.

Less of a "reflection" and more of a "complete, reversed copy of the Keep model"
