Topic: A missed opportunity

[Lumi Kløvstad]

So, fighting Carmilla in Lords again last night, it occurred to me that the game could have hidden some "shadow endings" in the battles against Carmilla and Cornell that would be activated by basically surrendering during the battle, and allowing Gabriel to be defeated without fighting back. The endings could have shown Gabriel becoming either a vampire in the service of Carmilla or a werewolf in Cornell's, along with some narration by Zobek describing how with Gabriel's help, the Dark Lord he served brought darkness to all the lands of the Earth.

That would have been a neat touch.

Dunno, Waffle is more likely to work with Claudia than Gabriel.

You mean like how a few SotN bosses would have some special ending quote if they killed you? Or in AoS the scene with Julius if you died to Chaos?

"You mean like how a few SotN bosses would have some special ending quote if they killed you?"

A LOT of Konami games have that. There were special death quotes for dying to bosses in MGS, there were special quotes if you died to Death, the succubus, or Dracula in the Rondo of Blood remake for the PSP, and so on...

God I haven't played MGS in 13 years, and I have absolutely no recollection  of that but I'll take your word for it

In fact, why don't more games have special game-overs if you die to a particular enemy or boss-fight? I love little touches like that, and it's such a pity they're a largely-missed oppurtunity.
