Any love for Samael?

[Nihil]

Dunnoi why, but I think Samael is the best written and most interesting character in this game series. I really loved that character in the 1st Darksiders game, and somehow devs still nailed it to keep that personality consistent and likeable.
Any religious bulls***t aside, i mean only in writing level.

Why is he more interesting than even the main characters of the games?

[MotoriuS]

He is a very consistent character and I think his intrigue is only boosted by the anticipation of something larger going on in the background. I have always thought that he is scheming a very complex and insanely big and far-reaching plan in order to become the creator himself or something similar. He gives very little away in the games about why he is doing what he is doing and that alone I think is supposed to give the player a sense of foreboding paranoia and nervousness. Do you constantly feel like that you're all the time playing somehow into his hands and that you're only a witless pawn in the end?

Then the next logical thought would be that at some opportune moment we'll supposedly realise what he is doing and what his endgame is. So that elusive endgame of his and the consistent interaction with him are the things that keep us stringing on throughout the games, hoping to glimpse what his ultimate goal is.

Sorry for the slightly rambling nature of my response, but I am equally excited about the character, plus it is somewhat difficult to try to put everything into just a few words.

Aye, Samael is one of my favourite characters in the franchise

*inhales* Yes, Samael is kinda unique in his own way. *inhales* I like how he knows that he could be killed but does not give a crap about it cuz of reasons. *inhales* This egoistic type really fits the character. *inhales* I wonder if he became a "real" ally to the protagonists a time, not just temporary.

*inhales* I found the ending of the game a bit dull. *inhales* Since I thought, Samael will fight with us too. *inhales* Or there will be a special boss mechanism including Samael.

Haha pretty much THIS! :D His calm and calculating personality is astonishing, but you still can't feel that he would be some kind of evil figure. He is a genius who is 20 steps ahead of everyone and everything you do, is playing the cards in his hands. Genius.

Well I think he is an ally. Since all the Darksiders games are about bringing down some bad guy who wants to be the Nr.1 mofo. And since Samael wants to be that Nr. 1 mofo too, bringing down competition is good for him. :D
