Vampires: Uh, boss? You corrupted the pillars of Nosgoth - which is great and all - but now the sun kinda/sorta doesn’t work anymore. It’s always dusk.
Kain: So what you’re saying is that we vampires can move around freely. All the time. Excellent.
Vampires: Won’t that eventually kill all the humans? Yanno, with no food and all?
IIRC, there were human survivors and hold-outs, but not many. Consequently, the vampire’s numbers were also rather small in turn. It was all a slow-moving apocalypse.
Really, it’s only just good enough of a backdrop for some really solid gameplay, set-pieces, and great voice-acting (well, for Soul Reaver anyway).

Kain: ::shrugs:: Fuck 'em.
Did they need to eat humans in this lore?
