Seriously I never understood why he blamed God for Elizabetha's death. He should be blaming Death itself for taking his wife.

Satanists, or people influenced by or close to, Satan will blame God for most things that burden them. :)

I couldn't really vote on this due to my personal standing on Dracula. However I feel that Gabriel is just that much closer to the bad-@$$ lord of darkness then IGA's Mathias will ever be.

Seriously, Gabula looks like he can clean house, I mean...

Mathias, on the other hand, if he is the Dracula that has been THE Dracula in all Cv games sans LoS, has gotten his ass kicked probably more times than we know, usually about 5 seconds after waking up.

Old habits die hard Flame. I've been doing that since I signed onto this site back in the early 2000's. I'll try to forgo it starting now  :)

Oh my God. What is this. Why do people keep referring to me for shit I didn't say.

That said, when you look at it, Gabe's Dracula is almost identical to Mathias, but only much more believable. That being, Holy knights whos wives were killed and who doubted God and eventually abandoned him altogether.

Mathias = OH NO MY WIFE DIED WHILE I WAS AWAY ON THE CRUSADES ITS GODS FAULT IM GOING TO PLOT THE DEATH OF MY BEST FRIENDS WIFE SO THAT HE CAN KILL THE VAMPIRE WHO DID IT SO THAT I CAN TAKE HIS SOUL AND BECOME A VAMPIRE TO SPITE GOD AND DEFY MORTALITY.

Gabriel = Im a holy knight whos wife died and her spirit was trapped in limbo due to an evil spell. I went on a journey to kill the 3 beings that were holding the spell, gained their powers and in the end realized I was the one who killed my wife and that innocent girl while I was being possessed by the person I thought was my ally and after defeating Satan himself, the device I was told could bring her back was a sham, and I was still left alone in the end, a broken man who is only good for killing, doubting my faith in God. I was called out by that Vampire girl because my killing Carmilla weakened the seal she held on an even worse monster and It was my responsibility to fix it. I was forced to become a Vampire in order to survive within the realm it was contained in and eventually all remaining traces of my humanity were completely eradicated by my transformation leaving me a cruel and miserable shadow of my former self.

I like the way they did it in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Vlad was pissed at god because Elizibetha wouldn't be allowed to go to heaven. In her distressed state she committed suicide when it was thought Dracula had been killed in battle by the Turks. He blamed god not only for her death, but for separating her from him even in death. So it made sense that he would carry a chip on his shoulder for both god and the human's that had tricked his beloved. They should have used that in LOI and left it at that.

And TFO in ressurection is pussy compared to the thing Leon fought. Can you imagine the LOI TFO in full form?
The new seems like a big Gabe clone with magic swords. The whole thing seemed kinda meh.

I thought he was pretty cool, and I was pleased how they made a nod to his bleeding. At the points when his wound suddenly just splurts (green) blood.

:rollseyes:

my opinion bro. Still sounds just as silly without capslock.


@ Incubuys Didnt he also STAB the cross in the church and drink from it when it started bleeding?

He's looking over Leon to make sure his plan goes over without a hitch, as you can see after the battle with Joachim. He doesn't need to be around in a greater capacity. Mathias has already played his hand, and it's a winning one. The only thing he has to do is come claim the rewards.
