[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4741562, member: 63763"] In general, the idea of V as a big bad is problematic. In trying to maximize the potential plot threads and plot hooks, the best idea would be for V to have [i]some[/i] redemption that would let V come back to the party. I'm guessing that means the last soul splice being given up voluntarily and perhaps showing restraint before doing another epic evilgasm moment. Even with V going back with the rest of the Order and possibly getting a nice dose of humility (each of the characters has gotten some sort of character development that helps them work better within the group, whether it's the increased responsibility of Haley and Elan, or Belkar learning to be a bit more covert about the evilness ... so V being a bit more humble would also help them out) there is going to be the debt issue that the fiends will eventually collect. V as a hero that needs to live with the consequences of V's actions (both the soul debt liability, and the actual evil things that were done) is more interesting than another villain. [/QUOTE]
