That's an idea as well - but substitute the Divine for the Dragon Knight (for reasons I said above). Alternating chapters between the Divine and New Guy would satisfy both the character creation of a new guy and the needs of ending the story with the Divine.

However, it might be a bit disruptive for players, and it would be hard to design, you'd need to keep the two characters separated because of the power gap.

well, have you ever played devil may cry 4? i was thinking of something similer but of course not that play style at all just the idea, If you ask me and this is my opinion but playing as the divine seems a little,well to centered on him,see playing as a guy that never really had the spot light on him/her gives you a more personal feeling for the character,id still play as the divine but as an rpg a major aspect waqs always createing your own hero,even if the hero dosent do the the divine job i think that he/her would have the major aspect on defeating damion and the divine would be the one to really face him down. sorta like the main boss in a game and you got to make your freind stronger and stronger to deafeat the boss and help in the fight but not really do a major part in the fight directly but on the side.


Don't poke the fire. It might poke back!
