Does anyone else think the remains are really cool? I went over this in a video of mine, but I think it's cool that they have this dual nature, of being both things that grant wishes and things that cause Dracula's resurrection, equally healing and corrosive. That's also why I think the twist that Dominus is made of the remains is one of my favorite moments in OOE, especially because the effect they had on Maxim and Albus is the same, Dracula emerging in their mind and causing a bit of a back and forth between two "selves" and I think it's neat that that's consistent between games.
Maxim, Simon and Albus all seek out their power for their own "wishes" while also being inadvertent agents in Dracula's reappearance.
They're also in SOTN but don't have as much story focus, maybe it would have been cool to tie them into Richter's possession narrative...?

I'm not sure it was intentional when they made Simon's Quest, but it's always been neat to me since it sort of holds what you might call a "grain of truth" - one way to cure vampirism (which one might refer to as a curse) in a lot of old folk myth was to either a. consume some part of the vampire's body in a specifically-prepared way, OR burn the vampire's body and have the afflicted either b. consume the ashes or c. breathe in the smoke from the fire. It's just very neat to me they added significance to the remains anyway even if it turned out a little different

yess the remains are so cool as a concept im always surprised it isnt talked abt more, i also always thought it was really cool how they tie certain games together like that... something abt them existing as a tangible collectible thing, but also especially the role they play in ooe. its so awesome to me :)

They're definitely an interesting concept. Unfortunately in my mind they will always fall victim to me going "hehehe Steel Ball Run"
