Not only CV Tradition, but also based on the Novel.
It'd be completely unorthodox if it were the other way around...

Well i mean, i don't know if i would consider Orlok from Nosferatu to be aristocratic, he was still pretty horrific looking.

Like any "real" vampire.

Indeed, it would be akin to making a character named Renfield who turns out to be Dracula's master.

I kind of like the idea of Laura actually being more in control than Carmilla, just for the fact that little girls are creepier than half naked vampire ladies
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Judging by the trailer, you fight Laura before you fight Carmilla. Though we don't know for sure since Laura just says she won't show Gabriel where her mother is unless he's willing to "play" with her. And then those ugly fat dolls appear, so we don't know if we even get to fight Laura at that point, or later in the game. Or ever?

Also, Carmilla tells Gabriel that "There's no resurrection, only this living death you see before you!", so she's kind of helping him realise it's all a trap. Or something.

Also, there is that voice saying "Poor Carmilla, you will cry bloody tears before this night has ended" or something. Seems Carmilla plays a big part in this game, but is she 100% evil? Is she even on Dracula's side? (If Drac is in this game, that is..) On the other hand I think that big vampire with boobs could very well be Carmilla's second form.

Lol. Now THAT was some heavy speculation.

New insight on why the 360 verson will be shipped on 2 DVD's.

And the the longest cutscene in the game (remember the one that Cox said was 14 minutes long?) is the ending.

This is what I'm talking about. This needs to be done more often.

Yeah, annoying.. but sometimes around Halloween seems likely. I like that they seem to be polishing the game a lot. Lords of Shadow will definitely not be accused of being rushed to the market, lol.
