So I just finished Nocturne, and I loved it. But I do one character logic breaking thing about the final episode that I’m struggling to sit with.

So we’re standing here in the house of god, you’re a reincarnation of an Egyptian god, you’re the messiah of all vampires, and you’ve just created endless night. You’re going to take a love one of the abbot into your ranks to force his submission, and, because you’re the sadist to end all sadist, turn is sweet daughter… who for the record has been kicking ass against your advanced guard, along side her distant cousin/spiritual brother… but you get the offer to take her Speaker mother instead. What to do?

Shrug

Why not both?

No seriously; it must be so dreadful for the abbot to have his lover twisted into vampire… imagine how much worse it would have been for him, (and the Belmont) to have them both turned into vampires. And like… I get your thing is despair and suffering but you seem pretty down to help out fellow vampires and instil loyalty… hey you know what might help long run with this new sorceress, powerful enough to turn you away from take her virgin daughter you’ve recruited… if she could stay with her daughter. She’d probably be pretty pissed at first but like, long game in a hundred years or so when vampires rule the world, they’ll probably both pretty thankful and happy to be together at your side; and the daughter will probably be just as magically strong as her mother by that point.

But seriously… you’re the messiah of vampires, why are you playing by rules laid out by desperate livestock you have backed into a corner? If you want both… then take both.

And even if it’s a “well you can only turn one human at a time.” You’re suddenly above keeping a girl locked away for a bit until you’re ready for what ever you have in store for her all of a sudden?
