[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 7472507, member: 7808"] Well, that's just disappointing. For starters, it was well established that the memories and conversations we see between VampDurkon and Durkon happen in "a split second, no matter how many memories" ( [url]http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0948.html[/url] ). These parallel story frames should not be parallel. Second, the entire point of the VampDurkon and Durkon discussions is that VampDurkon *wants* to get all the memories. And it's inevitable that he eventually will. The speed is only a matter of the victim's will save. The idea that getting access to everything would make VampDurkon become exactly like real Durkon is just... silly. If memories had the power to overthrow the internal vampire, VampDurkon would have been afraid of Durkon's memories, not encouraging him to give them up quicker. I can (begrudgingly) accept that this is not a D+D vampire. I have a lot of trouble accepting that a completely Evil (that's a capital E) vampire that is also the high priest of the Evilest goddess we have met can be completely overthrown by a memory of of a loving mother. It just doesn't work for me. [/QUOTE]
