I have the impression that, like in LoS' epilogue, Gabriel isn't willing to stay like this. Look at the moment he passes by the mirror, he feels sad/angry. So I don't know if he'd like to have other vampires along him (considering he killed a lot of them durong LoS1).

But even if they did that and you jumped to a pit enough time to drain all your health..Dracul(a) would have died from falling too many times :P

They can make it so that if you have 1 health point left then it doesn't drain anything.

They could, but it would feel kind of forced, IMO. If Dracul(a) indeed has all those godly abilities, I think they should build the gameplay around them instead of trying to confine it to a standard platformer character.

INSERT SPOILER SHIT HERE

You don't think maybe that needs a SPOILER tag?

Yes, I'd like to take a moment to remind people to use the spoilers.
**ahem**
PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS
WHEN DISCUSSING LEAKED INFO
AND PLOT POINTS

For those who want to remain (relatively) spoiler free, be wary of the 'discussion' threads and focus on the "Just the facts" threads.

We don't know if the chapter list is legit. I'm smelling BS, even though part of me wants it to be true(because the possiblities). Though another part of me thinks the actual game's going to go an entirely different route. Damn, I feel like I'm going to split into two separate entities!!!

Sorry for the Spoiler thing. But people should be aware of them before going into such threads.

Speculation is one thing Chernabogue, but discussing what could very well be a legitimate listing of the chapters, which gives away story locations and flow, is a little bit much on the other side of the fence.

We don't know if it is true. It could very well be a total hoax, but what if it wasn't? Would a bomb squad treat a suspicious bag at the airport without precaution because there wasn't any actual proof it is a bomb?

It's very simple. Speculation is fair game, because its just guesses without any way to verify. Discussing big info not officially announced, but seemingly leaked, that's a whole other story. It's pretty easy to tell the difference, and easy to keep those things in a spoiler tag. We had the same issue with LoS1 and the whole future setting ending.

In Chernabogues defense, that wasn't so much of a spoiler to me. If you know anything about anything that has anything to do with the first LoS and its ending, it's sort of a given.

But yeah, spoiler tags are good.

Man, I very much want to believe that chapter list is real, despite everything pointing to the contrary now.  :'(

Regarding the concept art, the one with Gabriel and the wolf...I know it's been said that the wolf is stalking Gabriel, and therefore could be a shapeshifted Alucard. But to me, it looks like the wolf is accompanying Gabriel, since it's looking right at the viewer. Maybe they just included the wolf in that piece because they thought it would look cool?? I don't know, just adding speculation.

It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

^Something unrelated regarding that piece of artwork. Did anyone notice it pays homage to artwork from CoD? The one with all the characters on it. Just look at Hector and you'll know what I mean.

Wacky speculation mode:

The white wolf is Amaterasu and is also Dracula's second wife and you will be able to sick her at enemies as a wolf or transform into a falcon and retrieve far way items from hard to reach spots. And she will alert you if any enemies are around. She will also be able to transform into her true form and wipe out the enemies around you similar to the demon in LOS1.
