How is any of this feud relevant to COTG Fight it over email, we don’t need to hear it
We were joking about a character in COTG?
I never thought I’d get reprimanded by someone online for something I said hours ago.

@Rohie, at what point does part one end? Like right after the first trial? A little after?

Horray the game continues
The Greek Underworld - or Hades - was divided into 3 areas: Asphodel Field, Elysium, and Tartarus. IIRC, only those who went to Elysium - i.e. the heroes - were eligible for reincarnation. Most people ended up in the Asphodel Field, where they wandered aimlessly for all eternity. Bad people and those who the gods deemed a threat/annoyance were sent to Tartarus, where they were tortured and punished.
I played this WIP when it was still in its early stages. There are a ton of great stuff to go through now. Played till 2am last night. 
Anyway, I accidentally encountered a bug. (I think it’s a bug.) I saved my game in the relationship page and I absentmindedly reloaded it there. Whenever I try to “Return to the Game”…

It just sends me back to the stats page. Still can’t find a way out lol.

Reloading another save works though.

your not alone there I can’t even delete and resave it in a new place
If not much changed (for which we don’t have any guarantees, because much already changed):
So I guess even when the trials didn’t already end, only the first one, MC probably will get new knowledge that puts the trial in the background (wasn’t it mentioned that MC will get a chance to leave Olympus after the first trial for an Odyssey to get more information on the Essence and Cronus?
…could be what part 2 will be mostly about if part 3 is the war itself)

Sorry about that 
; I was having too much fun with @Dark_Stalker. I enjoy those conversation when someone spouts off random nonsense and instead of the other person trying be the sane one in a conversation, they just decide to go with it and it becomes a battle of “how long can we keep this up and how much more ridiculous can we make this debate”. I’ll try to rein it in a bit in the future.
If the heroes truly were given a chance to reincarnate, I wonder if the statue of Hercules is foreshadowing the fact that the Bearer may meet him either as someone who was granted immortality due to his deeds or as someone who has been reincarnated state. The myths tend to vary how his journey ends, either saying he was granted immortality after successfully completing the Twelve Trials and saving Olympus from some type of disaster or that he ended up dying due to being unintentionally poisoned by his lover (who was told by a dying centaur that smearing his blood on on Hercules’ tunic would keep him faithful to her).

In the version I’m familiar with it’s a bit of both. A centaur tried to r@pe his wife and Hercules shot him with an arrow tipped in Hydra venom. The dying centaur told Hercules’ wife to smear his poisoned blood on a tunic and give it to her husband if she ever thought he was cheating on her. When she got suspicious, she gave him the tunic and the venom poisoned him, causing him unbearable pain. He built a pyre to kill himself, and Zeus removed the divine, immortal half of Hercules’ soul and made it a minor god on Olympus while the mortal half of Hercules’ soul went to the Underworld.

Do you think we’ll see Hercules in some way either as a immortal or a reincarnation? I mean, aside from the statute of the Gods, Hercules was the first statue of a Hero the Bearer saw (and the only one so far). I always felt that it made him stand out the most and was supposed to do that for a reason.
And while the Gods were a little vague about the topic of reincarnation for those who aren’t the Bearer, maybe Hades will eventually be willing to talk with the Bearer more about how the Underworld works (especially if they happen to be his child).
No clue, sorry to say. Though I’m sure they’ll make a golden statue of Aeson yet. 
Probably after the mc somehow wins those “hero” trials for the both of them despite Aeson being the one who was actually trained for them.
We do the suffering Aeson gets the glory will probably be the formula going forward.
Maybe in your mc’s world in mine my mc isn’t all that keen on talking to Hades about anything at all really.

LMFAO, Hercules is going to be like one of those reality TV stars you hear abt every now and then for no apparent reason except to recall smth they did with a ‘wow, that was wild’ in the same slightly nostalgic vein as before.

Point taken; my Bearer Damon, despite his shaky relationship with Hades, is adamant about knowing how the Underworld works and is willing to talk to Hades if he has to in order to learn about it. Most of it stems from the fact he wants to know what exactly happened with his mother and find a way to talk to her if only just for a short time (his “father’s” vague responses about his mother’s fate has already made him very leery toward the God of the Underworld and feeling that there’s more to the story than what was given to him). The other small part of him also wants to try to and find a way to prevent more Demigods form whatever fate the Seekers have been subjected to and feels the only way to learn about it is to see if he can spot a pattern in the stories the deceased Seekers possibly tell him. He may not view himself as a hero, but it doesn’t stop Damon from doing what he feels is right. Heck, for all the possible sarcastic provoking he’s likely going to do toward Sage, Damon still feels a sense of obligation to look after her and to make sure she doesn’t experience the same fate as her brother.
But I can see why not all the Bearers are keen on too much interaction with their fathers in general, even if it is to learn something they think could be vital (especially if they feel lied to by Hades).

@Okami-Nora, idk if it helps, but I’m on the exceedingly vanilla team of eventual reconciliation and “give my MC a relatively happy family life despite no amount of bonding can make up for lost time and all”

The simple idea of bonding with his puppets could be most terrible torture for Zeus. Here is a hippie version of mythology. But I can’t find love for them They are monsters. And cannibals. That have treatment humanity like shit. SO THEY COULD KISS MY ASS. I WANT TO FREE HUMANITY.
