Is it possible to romance Demodocus?
It was fun with Ajax but the poor lad kept dying. So I was like, you know what, let’s go for the bard, as the Witcher would.
I love the little shit, ruining all my plans being polite to the Cyclop to avoid Poseidon’s wrath, but he has to scream on the top of his lungs that I fooled the Cyclop’s ass.
Also, what stat(s) do I need to get the Golden Apples?
Demodocus have a family and I don’t think he likes to cheat
And I am still weirded out that zeus is my father I don’t want a father who cheat as fuck and can’t keep the thing in the pants
I feel like not enough people talk about this game. It’s incredibly depressing. I love how ‘good’ endings aren’t necessarily happy and some endings are ambiguous whether they’re really good or not and you get to decide that for yourself. There’s always a melancholic mood whenever I read this one.
Everytime I reread this, it always manages to give me the feels. Simple passages like:
“I’m sorry, Mother.”
“For what?”
“For all the ways in which I broke your heart, and for all the ways in which I’ll break it still.”
“Never be sorry. You only ever brought me joy,” she says. And then, she waves it all away. “Now go. Go do what you must.”
And it has a lot of moving lines that always manages to get me. I can’t get enough of this game. Now imma shelf this game for a while after finishing it again today, so that it can break my heart once again soon.
I am still confuse about we becoming gods and can’t stay with our family ending, is starting to sound confusing to me because if that is the case how in Olympus is zeus still getting that harem
man it’s been 2 hours since i finished the game and i’m still sulking and sad…not that the game was bad but it got the designated effect across…
Is there any way to up strength beyond 65%? I can never seem to hold Atlas’s sky no matter how much I try to stack only on strength
After getting hyped and buying this game when it first came out, I’ve finally managed to play - and what a delight. A sad delight, but so good with it.
Natalia’s writing is always stunning so it was no surprise that the prose is gorgeous and evocative. A whole lot of tragic things happened on my voyage but it felt appropriate somehow, and part of the story - I decided not to try to bring Ajax back from Hades because I’d made a promise that conflicted with it, and as for Ithaca I abandoned it and my spouse for our son. In another game this would have made me consider restarting, but I was along for the ride and it suited the gravity of the myth and the sense that I was navigating the gods’ whims. The weight of my decisions felt emotional at each point and I loved getting to know the vivid characters during the troubles we faced. Much recommended. I’m so curious about different pathways, as it’s clear from the posts here that there’s a lot going on beneath the surface and many more possibilities to explore!
