"You cannot help me, you're not here, you're not real". You can see he's about to cry. I'm watching that scene right now. Man Carlyle IS Dracula. Best Dracula scene in the game.

Everything comes full circle

If only the game could have lived up to that scene.

There was so much good about that scene, and absolutely none of it got repeated/resolved.

That was lovely.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

It did in my imagination at least.

Still the game had so many good character moments, a little suspension of disbelief and it's immensely satisfying.

For all my ragging on it, I did enjoy the game. It was very fun to play.

The ending was just extraordinarily unsatisfying and didn't tie up all the loose ends created by the game's underlying subplots. And for someone who was really enjoying the story, that is unforgivable.

I agree about the ending, of all things it was very out of place. Which sucks as we know now how they originally intended to end Gabriel's story. I kept on speculating about Gabriel's story ever since I saw the Los1 ending, and now after seeing the ending I think we can at least disregard it and fill it with how we'd think Gabriel's story ended instead as we know MercurySteam won't change it. Now that MercurySteam Los has ended, it was an amazing ride with a lot of speculation even though they didn't deliver what they themselves had promised. Their version of Dracula was really good, second only to Bram Stoker's in my opinion.

Fixed that for you.

In the US, as always, lords didn't chart either. Sorry Mahedros.

So, what, is Lawds's success all from mainland Europe?

(Also where are we getting these #s from?)
