SONIA WAS A HARLOT?!?!

Her relations with Alucard happened when they were unmarried. I don't know what that means in Legends' timeframe.

The child was born after Legends. Since Alucard enters into his slumber after Sonia defeats him, if my calculations are correct, Sonia is pregnant throughout the entire course of Legends.

I'll say Graham Jones, because i find him without personality. You simply meet with him 2 times and have some boring dialogues, before you fight him at the throne room. Even chaos sounds more interesting for me.

I think Graham had a lot of potential that wasn't explored. I really was hoping to know more about him. Villians with religious overtones always intrigue me and creep me out, and let's face it, cults are creepy. There could have been a lot more development given his status as a cult leader, and a REALLY interesting backstory (perhaps his conducting mass suicides to raise the castle, telling his followers to kill people and the consequences that follow, etc. - creepy stuff like that.)

(Regarding Graham: Does his name come from the evangelists Billy Graham and Bob Jones, Sr.? I did know about Billy Graham, but Bob Jones was apparently a very effective Southern preacher as well...)

Dmitrii all the way.

if my calculations are correct, Sonia is pregnant throughout the entire course of Legends.

That's some serious skill, not getting hit in the stomach while traveling to, trekking through, and destroying Castlevania.

Renewed respect for Sonia Belmont.

I'm a little bit surprised at the dislike toward Isaac. I mean, I totally understand why some people wouldn't like him, and at first, I thought he was too extreme a character, but I grew to like him. He's got his own kind of dementia going on that is intriguing. Also, for what it's worth, his theme is gnarly and he's pretty fun to fight.

Cornell - For one reason, I don't like his main attack. I just can't take it seriously, it's an energy wave ripped right out of DragonBall Z. Other werewolves in the series have shot energy waves, but I think its a stretch taken to give them an exciting attack. IMO they should have given him a spear that could shoot the energy once powered up or something.. and he should be able to do that werewolf ground punch, and have a button to dash.

and Basically any other character that destroys the game with an evil monologue about a master plan at the end.

Cornell's energy wave is like DeeJay's "Max Out" or Jax's EnergyWave.

Johnathan and Charlotte. I don't hate their overall design(though it is a bit generic if you ask me), but their personalities are so paper thin and predictable. Plus what I hate about the two is that throughout the whole game, you learn more about Johnathan than you do for Charlotte other than that she is smart and hates being called a kid. Oh and Johnathan's little "No Problem" catch phrase made me cringe a bit every time he said it....
Edit: Oh and I am adding Dawn of Sorrow Hammer to my little list, mainly cuz' he came off to me as more of a creeper than he ever was in the last game.
Edit 2: And pretty much all of the new characters in DoS

Oh, and Dario Bossi. At least I could laugh at Dmitrii a little bit. Dario was just pathetic and completely out of place.

They could've elaborated upon Celia WAY more.

I actually liked Isaac a lot, and I feel for him.

[Successor The Cruel]

Yeah, I don't feel it strange to have sympathy for the character, to a certain extent... unlike... Shaft, Graham, Elizabeth, Barlow, and so on. That's one of the things that makes him especially unique as a CV villain of that ilk to me. Although, I guess it's possible to feel a bit for Brauner.

I actually did feel terribly for Brauner at the end of PoR.

[赤月]

I haven't played PoR all the way through yet, so I couldn't comment on Brauner.

At the end of Curse of Darkness, I was like "it's not supposed to turn out like this" when I saw what Death did to Isaac.

Isaac is ineligible to be the least favourite anything just on the strength of his presentation alone. He's really brought to life by vivid facial expressions, as well as excellent body language and voice acting courtesy of Liam O'Brien. Unquestionably one of the best villains in the series. Also someone mentioned Rondo Maria, and to that I say bollocks. Bollocks, now and forever.

Uhhhhhh... everyone from the first two DS games spring to mind. Even if the concepts are salvageable like in, say, Brauner's case, the grim reality is that the inept dialogue and art style ruins any and all specks of mild quality in them. Skip, skip, skip. The cast of Lords is much the same. No one acts like a human being, and there is no logic to anything they do. I've never seen so many words used to convey so little. It's not visually exciting either; half the cast wears the boring Brotherhood get-up.

I have this unquenchable distaste for Joachim. I mean, sure, he's a glorified plot device but... guy's just really hateful to me. I'LL BEAT YOU... TO A PULP. It's bizarre, because he's also voiced by O'Brien. Oh well.

Did it have to do with his badly written dialog?

Joachim's cool. If you don't count how much of a pussy he sounded like in his introduction cutscene and how retarded he looked in the next one. He didn't look like he was in pain, he looked like he needed to have a shite. XD But if they actually showed more Joachim, like his past about his rebellion against Walter and all that, and MAYBE didn't kill him off so stupidly... and MAYBE got the idea that Leon could've let him out and together they could take down Walter...

MAYBE Joachim would be cooler. Just sayin'. (:

[Profbeanburrito]

I think the only character that I really don't care for is young Maria in the original Rondo, not so much in DXC. I just hate that cutesy anime crap they have her doing. I hated it in portrait too but I could overlook it better in that.
