My opinion only, but the way it ended was a much more realistic way to finish than to have the MC triumph over all and reign supreme over vampire-land. We ARE left hanging, but that doesn't present us from imagining our own endings, if we so desire.
Yes, the MC shouldn't have won again one, way over his head, just playing his role.
I find it just dumb that these ancients just sit in the cave and want nothing...that's just, i dunno dissapointing, a let down. Maybe i expected a bit more, as the dev said inspired by VTM and the ancients their sure are a real problem when they wake up.
This build up since ep 3 about them and well, nothing, it's not even real interesting be it the fight, preparations or lore wise. If he wouldn't have gone down there a second, third time etc they would have been completely unimportant to the plot...as they have no interest in anything and wouldn't have come up so...
Kind of funny how the MC still ended up as kinda the unofficial boss over vamp land
I just think, if he didn't have any good idea to use the ancients to make them a real problem for anyone, just leaving them out and instead focus on a more interesting plot with the elders like the fatso, Calypso, the prince and some political ploting etc would have been way more interesting than this.
