Granted yes, my version would have destroyed the city, but I'm not going to be all broken up about that. I would have rather had the game take place all over the country that his castle resided in, if we're going to revisit modern areas, why not see some modern versions of the ruins of Agharta and whatever became of a place like the titan graveyard in modern times?
And have the city on top of the castle ruins, basically be the capital, so when Dracula raises his castle, he's basically claiming dominion over that country and all who decide to live there.
Yes, it would basically open the door for Konami to do more with the character, but I'm fine with that, I'd go so far to say I would prefer that.
There's no reason that this Dracula's personal journey and story has to end with his death or eternal torture by the brotherhood. I don't see any problem with Dracula accepting everything he's done, who he really is, making some kind of peace with Alucard, and accepting an anti hero role of a person who will stop forces like Zobek and Satan, but at the same time you stay the fuck out of his castle and off his lawn and don't screw around with his domain and in return he wont send hordes of monsters to destroy everything you love and personally rip out your throat with his teeth.
I'm not saying it had to be that way verbatim but I think its a general set up that would keep these incarnations of Dracula and Alucard alive so that they could be revisited in the future and still bring an end to the personal story of Dracula so that the next time we see him, we can do something totally different with him thematically and won't be retreading old ground.
I personally would love this, because I really like this Dracula as a character and I would love a game where he is confident and sure of who he is and what his role in the world is. Opposition could come from another evil force, a Belmont descendant who ignorantly blames Dracula for Victors death, or the remaining Brotherhood who despite Dracula defeating satan twice and saving the world, just won't tolerate a vampire as the savior of humanity and want to kill him regardless, or a cult of would be followers that turn against him because they're disappointed he's not evil enough, and I throw that one in there just because I want a LoS version of " ...the dark priest called Shaft."
