I agree the Dragons and their Knights were wronged big time by the Slayer's but it was the Damned One who set the hole thing up >< (Demon Of Lies or some thing isn't he?) so to me the Slayer aren't totally to blame and should be made to repent and be given a chance to regain their honour (Divinity 3? lol)
Do you really believe this? Just imagine - some dude starts to persuade your town/willage/city to exterminate all the jypsies/muslims/jews/whatever is a favorite underdog. So what, you without any thought about the matter will take guns, and start killing people, bec. somebody told you so? Is it really plausable that one bad guy who did not kill any dragon himself set up a whole thing, and a bunch of upright citizens went on a murder spree without hesitation, without any tiny thought that this might be a wrong thing to do??? Sorry, this excuse is so freaking lame, I can't really believe people still buy it. Fantasy or not, but logic, morality and psychology still works the same as in the real world.
Pity, my dragon knight did not have a chance to kill Rhode personally. I would really like this. And to consider Rhode as a possible romantic interest after what she has done is kind of weird. If I were a girl, I would sooner go with Bellegar - this dude is nutcase, but a freaking funny nutcase.
I am OK with no romantic/close personal connection in D2. This is not a party RPG, a hero is on the move, and other NPCs stay behind. Also by design the last Dragon Knight is a loner, hunted by his former comrads. And, btw, people in the Broken Valley and on the Sentinel Island where we spent 75% of the game are all DEAD. It would be really depressing to get a friend, or a romance, and then learn that they have been killed.
