While the confrontation between the Dragon Knight and Rhode was missed, I'm not sure that it's possible to put it in after the events of Flames of Vengeance, when the Divine is freed and supports the Dragon Knight and explains that the Dragon Knights were framed. The death of the Divine at the hands of a Dragon Knight is the big reason everyone hated them, and that reason is now gone. With the Divine back, it takes all the wind out of Rhode's sails of righteous fury.

I bet that if there was a survey, the results would probably be that those whose first exposure to the series was Divinity 2 would prefer the Dragon Knight to be the one to kill Damian, and those whose first exposure was Divine Divinity would prefer the Divine to be the one to kill Damian.

While I wouldn't mind seeing another Dragon Knight game, I would definitely prefer having the Divine as a player character in Divinity 3 (or whichever game it is that will finish off Damian).

The Dragon Knight already regained the lost honour by freeing the Divine. Now it is the Divine's turn to atone for his own failings. Damian was turned to the dark side in part part because the Divine executed Ygerna without thinking how Damian would react. That anger, that fury, of a foster son to his adoptive parent that is the emotional core of the story. That's what started everything. Mind-tricking a Dragon Knight into killing the Divine was a consequence of that first wound, it is not an emotional core in itself.
