Give us some more DLC Konami

As we rather indifferently await word of a future Castlevania title, Konami could be keeping us occupied with new DLC maps and characters for our dear old multiplayer comrade, Harmony of Despair.

Please take some time to vote in the poll and post your opinions about the possibility of future DLC for HD.
The poll has a 10 vote limit, so you can click on every option if you fancy that sort of indecisiveness.
'k Dungeon. Do that debate thing you seem to excel at.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Albus should get some more love, I mean, who else uses a gun to fight (other than Soma)

Fuck new characters; they need to desperately expand on characters like Yoko and Maria who seem to have been almost TOTALLY forgotten about. Not to mention how much more could be done with the majority of the rest of the cast. The drop rate also needs some major work, and we could really use more stages.

I would rather they fix what they have already than add in more characters that will just add to the mess. :(

While I do agree with the list above I would want to see a 2d version of Cornell,Henry,and Gabriel why werewolf powers, gun sword combo, and light/shadow combos along with the subweapons while this is just a dream (since the special k is a tad too slow)it is a nice concept.

Yeah, the real problem in HD is the horrid balance. The others weren't joking when they called it "Somavania", Soma's got way more options than everyone else.
Make a good balance patch first, then I'm sold.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

Just like what the others have been saying, a balance patch would do this game good (Everyone else just doesn't have as many options as Soma does). Anyways to add to possible DLC, new stages would do some good too, even if they were just more copy paste stuff (contra level anyone?).

Adding characters Im all for as well, just as long as they are different from one another. Like giving Juste his element based sub weapons, Trevor with slightly different martial arts, or Albus and some variations of spells he uses from his own game.
While I do agree with the list above I would want to see a 2d version of Cornell,Henry,and Gabriel why werewolf powers, gun sword combo, and light/shadow combos along with the subweapons while this is just a dream (since the special k is a tad too slow)it is a nice concept.
In terms of new characters, those certainly would be nice. I'd add Aeon from judgement to that 3D-to-2D conversion list; would be interesting to see time/clock hand based spells in HD

Really though I've been happy with HD, and more DLC would just be amazing. Just because Soma is broken there doesn't bring down the fact that it's fun for me. And I'm sure there are others who share that opinion.

Yea,

A balance patch would definitely be on my top dlc I want for HD..

But as far as characters goes, I always hated that we never got to play with Hugh in COTM. He seemed pretty badass with that sword and it would have been awesome to play as him.

So I chose Hugh.

I think a part of the problem with Soma, if it isn't biased favouritism on part of the developers, would be the soul system having so many souls to use. But if the number of enemies were cut down, people would complain. Such a no win situation.

Anyway... I'd like to see a lot of characters: Hammer (his name was yelled out in a few voice files), the Saturn version of the older Maria (if for variety in the gameplay), Albus, Juste, Nathan (I'd imagine implementing the DSS would be a pain however), Eric Lecarde (maybe give him a few subweapons), Stella and Loretta (have it so that the two need to be synchronized and equipped, though some new animations would have to be made), and possibly Maxim too for a ninja character.

As for stages, a Rondo of Blood stage should have been a must, considering that Rondo of Blood is one of the most celebrated games in the franchise. I'd also like to see a stage or two for Bloodlines, the Saturn version of SotN, Harmony of Dissonance, Super Castlevania IV and Circle of the Moon.

For the other characters, at least give Maria her Egg subweapon from Rondo, and I'd suggest a new spell or two for Yoko because although she's supposed to be a shout out to Sypha, while having only the three spells was acceptable in the NES days, these days that's seen as lacking.

Sorry if I dragged on too long...
