Young or old?

Do you like Dracula to look youthful, or aged ancient evil?


If he's old-looking in LoS, would that mean he's been around for hundreds of years?

He should look young, with sunglasses, neon green shorts, and a Hawaiian T-shirt, holding a surf board and giving the peace symbol. YEAH!
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

Old IMO. His CoD appearance was the best in the entire series.

I like him old. He's supposed to be a creature of darkness that has lived for thousands of years, so the old looking i think suits him best!! ;)

But people can’t be ruled by power alone! The sacred, the honorable, the loved…those things can rule humanity. Something evil will eventually FALL TO RUIN!!

Depends on the context he appears in.
I actually like it when they do both like in the F.F.C. movie.

I said young, but I mean younger looking.  In other words, not ancient.  An ancient looking Dracula looks feeble and pathetic.  But a really young looking Dracula looks a pretty boy who is inexperienced and would rather seduce a young woman than destroy all humanity.

I think the best Dracula was the one in OoE.  He was a little young looking but not overly young.  Plus, he looked a little more demonic than in other games.  That Dracula was really badass.

Oh, and Crisis, you forgot the standard I don't know choice:
"I don't know. My mind was recently violated by a dark priest."

My favourite design is the one in Chronicles, is not young but neither old, like a demon, I think Dracula is more a demon than a human so I like him to have certain "beauty", however, I don't want more super models (MAthias) or ancient pigs (Legends)

Everything comes full circle

I like both,. Him constantly changing his appearance keeps it fresh. It also makes sense since he keeps getting revived with new forms and abilities. Occasionally through another persons body.

Either way, I feel bad for him. The guy keeps being resurrected, only to be killed within days, sometimes minutes, of coming back to life. It's like "Ahhhhh, back in the world of the living once again. I wonder if this time I'll have time to..." *Belmont suddenly appears, stakes him in the heart, and sends him back to hell*

Poor guy. Young or old, he knows he's going down soon after.  Must be depressing.

I prefer old btw, but I did think having him appear as a child in CV64 was a cool idea.

Personally, I like the fact they keep switching him up. One game he's younger, the next he's older, and the next somewhere in-between. It's what gives him part of his evil elegance - being able to incarnate at whatever age in whatever form he chooses. (like the the Helsing Manga)
