Natural disasters caused by a god are quite different from a god going out of his way to kill someone, as Zeus does on the reg. Just throwing that out there.
Pretty sure studiousness never had anything to do with who your father was. Wit =/= studious. Not completely directly, anyway. Or, at least, it didn’t the last time I played, which has been a while.
Besides - sometimes suggestions go a little bit towards the nitpicky. The way CotG did choosing the father seemed fine to me. It was meant to be a surprise. Maybe going of Priscilla’s personality would be better, but I feel like one would be less likely to take after a human parent than they would a godly parent.
But the game no longer has none Zeus choices for the dad though. Rohie confirmed on tumblr Hades is no longer an option and that Poseidon might come back at best (which as of now imo feels like a no given her wording)
So yes. Zeus is as of now by narrative the de-facto only dad for the MC
That’s not entirely true.
The prophecy before hand told that the bearer would come from one of them and that Priscilla would be the mother. To assume that Priscilla had a choice in who she could bed for that to happen is spotty at best precisely because she was their prisoner. Even if Zeus asked her, could she have said no? I’d argue she wouldn’t have been able to
They might not have forced themselves onto her but definitely the lack of agency here to say no is pretty up there. Considering that the boon was that she could leave Olympus (journal entries imply that she’s miserable there and her existence as their prophet is again a jail sentence for her) pretty much says how she feels about the entire thing
Remember that the gods wanted to raise the MC on Olympus to ensure that loyalty rather than relying on a mere “blood” relation – am sure they know all too well that just because he’s your dad is no excuse for loyalty (i.e. them overthrowing Cronus). Then Athena ruined that plan and you know the rest
My theory is they can vaguely countercheck but probably not perfectly. Apollo has the Oracle of Delphi at the least to help point out any inconsistencies Prisicilla might have. And maybe they have some equivalent of veritaserum somewhere up there :))
Studying does increase the wits score in the game, so you’re just wrong there.
From studying magic, and I believe another increase from choosing AP classes, but that one I’m not 100% sure of.
Which means that wits does reflect education, and being educated when you are raised by the goddess of learning is not really indicative of anything else.
The whole Dad thing’s really interesting to see in this thread. Same with Priscilla. Everyone has opinions that differ or overlap in such fascinating ways. Hades not being a dad anymore kind of makes sense. I mean, sure, according to the way demigods work, you get your genetics from your mother…
But it would still make Aeson an incredibly awkward RO, and the ceremony at the dance (if it makes it into the final product) even more awkward.
If I’m honest, I would really like to see Poseidon come back, even though being Zeus’ child - like most of the Pantheon - makes things more interesting. Being Poseidon’s kid means two of the Trinity had children with the Great Prophet, and the remaining member fathered the Bestower.
Though, that might just seem cool in my head…
Zeus was a pretty fun dad at first. My MC is all over the place, but she’s incredibly forgiving so she was prepared to have her father figure be a part of her life. He appears to realise how unlikely it is that someone would want to be his kid at his reaction.
Priscilla is an enigma in the best ways. She, so far, hasn’t been portrayed as the best person, but not as the worst either; but definitely incredibly interesting.
“I considered having one god to romance but…it’d just be a lot. But…if enough people actually want it, I’ll hook you guys up. It’s your game as much as mine; I’d literally do anything to keep you guys happy, lol.”
I’m curious- If you could date a god or a goddess, who would you choose?
Hestia all the way. If for mostly, I picture her like this from Dan Machi, but with your attitude you gave her and fiery red hair. With the personality you gave her and her looks here, we have ourselves a knockout Goddess. Also I imagine if she cares for you, she will probably be sweet, possessive and touchy-feely like in the anime. Here’s some pics, with a couple “out of context” pics just because lol.
My point exactly. Magical smarts =/= general smarts. Also, to those who chose Athena in the poll - why Hades, also. Those people are your parental figures. With Poseidon and Zeus, it kinda depends, but Athena and Hades literally raised you. I’m…more than a little bit concerned.
Shame we can only choose one of the Gods. There’s quite a few I’d probably go for (Artemis, Apollo, Hestia, Hephaestus…).
If I wasn’t playing the Bearer as they currently are anyway.
As they are now though, I would more likely stick with my Bearers (in their current form) being interested in the Demigod ROs even if romancing a God was a possibility. It just feels a little too odd to pair them with people they have less of a opportunity to spend time with and REALLY get to know than they would have with their fellow Demigods. That and considering the drama the Gods have themselves involved in and their, I can’t see any of my Bearers being crazy enough to enter that drama themselves.
That said, if the Bearer has moments where they have a chance to meet one of the Gods in a past life and form some type of relationship with them, I may be more interested in seeing how it would go (depending on how their interaction play out anyway; may still be inclined to just have them be something akin to friends with the Gods in their past).
I recognize you lmfaoo :~) I wonder how ‘serious’ a relationship with a God would be! I guess it depends on what you want out of it. I think they’re all irredeemable (with the exception of, like, 3 tht my most resentful Bearer will probably largely spare) so it’s interesting to see why y’all would want to romance them. #nosecondchances club!
oh geez, never thought of how my bearer would go about romancing a god, considering he hates the gods and pretty much everyone else because he’s an awful demon. but it would be very interesting to see how it would go!
