^ Seriously? God obviously isn't a villain in the series, let alone "the real, true and final antagonist". You sound like one of those atheists who wants God being the bad guy in everything, because of your own personal petty hate for Him.

First off, "fate" is a rather interesting concept. It's definition is "the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power". Philosophically speaking, yes, God is in control of fate. But it is not actually some "mystical power force". It is essentially a product of an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God. If God is all powerful and knowing, then NOTHING can defeat Him or go against His will. He does not cause everything, but he allows things to happen. The games show this. In LoS2, Gabriel(Dracula) is STILL immune to divine incantation explosion caused by the Paladin, this is evidence of God's continued favor in him. The Brotherhood's army was destroyed, while Dracula, an unholy vampire Lord, remained untouched. In fact, he joined in on the incantation, praying TO GOD as well. Dracula himself also tells the Paladin that he is God's chosen.

Also, your second paragraph is flawed. Why? The series confirms that God created everything, from humans, to the Old God's(Pan was loyal to God) and to the demons(which are fallen angels), including Satan. Satan was fueled with jealousy and pride, which caused his fall. Jesus Christ was also the Messiah. basically, in LoS, Christianity is indeed true. There are liberties, as with all fiction, but this is to be expected. So, with all this being said, God is not in need of prayers of worship for his power, seeing as he had his power before creation.

If you honestly think they will make a DLC where you kill God, let alone make him the bad guy, prepare to be disappointed. Not only would this be incredibly controversial, it makes absolutely NO sense to the plot. Gabriel wants to live happily with Marie, and Marie is a devout follower of God. Even when he rages at God in LoS2, she calms him down and helps him. Guess who sent her back to Earth? GOD! Guess what would have happened if not for GOD sending Marie? Gabriel would have been overtaken by Carmilla. Chances are, if they do a DLC that extends the ending, it will involve some plot where Gabriel and Alucard reunite with Marie in Heaven. THIS is the ending everyone wanted(except for you I guess). The last thing Mercury will do after the criticism of LoS2, is make a DLC that is highly offensive to many, completely screw up the ending(no God=no heaven and no Marie=no happy ending) and then say "hey, we are done. Thanks for giving us your money!".

Let's be realistic here, and stick with actual in-game lore. God aint the bad guy, he is actually a true "silent protagonist". Constantly watching the events, and helping Gabriel in key moments and helping him destroy the enemies of all creation.
