Thoughts on the scenario after completing "Hammers of Fate".

According to the description of the same vampires from the sixth installment, becoming a vampire is quite an honor for a Necromancer, but the elements of the ritual described differ from what Markel performed (since this in no way resembles a gift from Ashi). And yes, Giovanni was a human who was aware of his actions and became a vampire of his own free will, while he was still alive. As for Nicholas...

Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to play the sixth installment, but according to the descriptions in the fifth, it is an honor for a Necromancer to become the master of a Lich or a Dark Dragon (I have a pirated version, so the names may be inaccurate, but I think you understand who I'm talking about). Let's assume that Markel really performed an "economical version" of the resurrection ritual and raised Nicholas as a simple vampire, but explain to me what difference does it make whether it was of his own free will or by force?

plus, the plot of the sixth installment takes place before the plot of the fifth, so maybe at that time the Necromancers had different priorities
