Do you prefer the game's timeline or the original DNF timeline?

Good job lady.<br><br>To give a little more spoiler, the tearful eye mark is the real cause of all this tragedy, and it's a symbol of someone. To be exact, 'she'<br><br>Her name is Hilder. She's a very powerful, scheming goddess of evil(kind of). Her symbol is the tearful eye.<br><br>In the original world, she manipulated everything from behind the scenes, and Khazan actually died, and Ozma ended up becoming the God of Chaos.<br><br>Even in this game, which is a parallel world, it seems like she controls everything.<br><br>The difference is that this time Khazan is alive, and Reese is dead (in the original, she became the Emperor's concubine, trying to save Ozma's life so that he wouldn't be executed).<br><br>In the original world, Ozma was persuaded by Hilder in prison and became the God of Chaos. Although it doesn't appear in this game, it seems that in this parallel world, she approached Ozma and took advantage of the weak heart caused by Reese's death and Khazan's death (at this time, Ozma probably thought Khazan was dead) to corrupt him.<br><br>In the epilogue of the ending, if you look at Ozma's diary, it says that the soldiers who killed Reese died and were marked with tearful eyes. So it seems that in the end, it wasn't the Emperor who ordered Reese to be killed, but Hilder mind-controlled the soldiers to kill Reese and kill them too. She enjoys leaving her mark (her symbol).<br><br>Hilder, she can possess other people's bodies, transform into other people's appearances, and is very powerful herself (probably more powerful than Ozma).<br>She likes to manipulate people from behind the scenes rather than directly using her power.<br>In the end, Ozma was a choice for her, and she ended up corrupting Ozma, and to do so, she tricked the Emperor (probably by transforming into Ozma herself), made Khazan a traitor, and transformed into a prophet(female) or possessed a prophet and spread false prophecies to make the Emperor uneasy. (In the original world, she possessed the body of a prophet(female) and controlled her.)<br>It is said that the emperor was tempted by Hilder, but it is true that the emperor was greedy. He was not good though.(original and this world both)<br><br>Anyway, aside from her existence, the story and lore you interpreted was an interesting explanation in itself.

This game is one of my all time favorites, as its soaked in tragedy, betrayal, and sorrow.<br>And my favorite part of the tragedy is how calm Khazan is at the end of the true end, but you can tell from how hes talking that he has finally snapped, thus giving birth to what is known as "Khazan Syndrome". Khazan Syndrome is a disease that grants immense physical power and other abilities (including Blood Magic to a degree) and marks the one who has it as a Berserker, thus making the ones infected with it follow the same path that Khazan did. One of bloodshed, violence, vengeance, and destruction.

I hope, if one day they make a sequel, I hope they delve deeper into the spirits and the " slayer ".... and in turn will lead into Soul Bender, Berserker and Ghost Blade.
