That's how I read into it, Flame.
Sorry guys for my absence, I reached a point where I didn't want any more spoilers, so decided to take a small break from here until I'd finished the game. I finished it yesterday. I've been mulling it over, and have watched the Alucard dlc now. I get what they were going for with the open-endedness of the closing scene, with both Gabriel and Alucard finding peace together, however, what I think let it down was what led up to it, and how certain scenes were handled, especially the last boss fight, which I found frustratingly unsatisfying. There wasn't enough to it, and I felt that setting it on the Leviathan was a bit shoehorned. It would have been much more befitting for it to take place in the throne room itself for the start of the fight. Satan taking the multiple-headed dragon form, and declaring himself the 'true dragon' would have been far more epic, with the final possession of Alucard being a last-ditch effort. I also didn't feel like there was a proper closure with Marie and young Trevor, Some ambiguity, things left unsaid is fine, but there wasn't enough given to give it the epic, and heart-wrenching ending that it deserved, especially after the scenes with Gabriel declaring that he had already chosen his family, anf then the regaining of his memories of Alucard. Those scenes were beautifully handled, and it's just such a shame that it wasn't ended properly. It was too unclear regarding whether Marie and Trevor were manifestations of his mind's humanity, or whether it was actually Marie and Alucard in disguise.
Cox's declaration of Dracula winning and ruling the world also irked me, as I didn't see how he'd defeated 'God' as well as Satan, and it didn't make sense considering that they seemed to want to go down the redemption route, with it emerging that family after all was what was most important to him. I can definitely see how the ending could have been changed. (If someone could tell me what Bergaron had said on this, I'm still trying to find that in my catch up of what was missed.)
All in all, there were bits I loved, and bits I disliked. The whole game felt rather disjointed to me (the modern city in conflict with the castle), combined with some pacing issues. The castle sections were incredible, with some scenes being very heartfelt and moving. If only more of the game, preferrably all of it, had taken place there! I loved Alucard's reimagining, and after watching the video of the dlc, I look forward to getting hold of it.
