![]() ![]() I suspect Josh Sawyer (who is about my age) felt the same and that's why we have that unusual ending. But as the most probable "default" ending? Nah. I mean if it would have been one of many possible outcomes: fine with me. ![]() I actually found it kind of refreshing to have a somewhat surprising yet anticlimactic ending and not the typical "you're important and you get it all" stuff. ![]() I don't watch the same kinds of movies anymore. But I don't read the kinds of books nowadays that I read back then. I was much younger and liked that "I'm so special" treatment. That was cool when it happened with Ultima IX or Throne of Bhaal or something back then. That would be the same as usual (in fantasy CRPGs) and feels a bit like an appeal to everybody's secret delusions of grandeur. I think an ending where you absorb the souls would have been really cool. Still though, I think an ending where you absorb the souls would have been really cool. I thought the skeletons in the machine Eothas was punching were Kith but they were artificial constructs built and jammed with souls. Their atheist's believe the Gods are jerks and we should do away with them" which is how the atheist replies in this game always are.Īs for the other part you are correct. I specifically said in the beginning " atheism in this world is not the same as ours. I get the feeling that he is also atheist, since he obviously understands that they exist, but doesn't worship or think people needs them. My PC never insists they don't exist. Obviously "gods" exist in this world. Whenever the "atheism" icon shows up for Xoti or Eder, it's because I either insulted them or insisted that we don't need them. ![]() Ok so throughout both games, every single "atheist" comment that the PC makes, it's basically denouncing and insulting the Gods, not insisting they don't exist. On another note, why would people generally entertain the thought when priests in Eora have, you know, distinct magical powers. And the majority of those that do are probably due some "mysterious circumstances" from the Leaden Key or the Hand Occult. Anyway, you realize like 99.9% of the world has no hard evidence that the gods are fake. Besides, I am sure there's an actual word for wanting to get rid of gods that doesn't need to be a kind of not believing in them. Iovara's movement was about the gods being fakes, not about their attitudes. Options are: do you want to do this God's errand, this God's errand, or end the world completely. I really thought that the game would let you take vengeance on these JERKS (all the gods are jerks, every single one and they all deserve to be smitten) Nope. I really thought that with the revelation about the Gods being created through absorbing kith souls, it was setting up a scenario where we absorb the souls and become a god, just as Engwithans sacrificed souls to make themselves the Gods. I thought that would be an option. But no, no matter how atheist my character is, no matter how much I piss off my party members by bad talking the gods, at the end of the day my character is an errand boy to the gods. So what? Why even include it in this game? I thought there was going to be a badass ending in POE1 where you absorb the souls and become a god yourself and smite the other gods (like age of decadence). Their atheist's believe the Gods are jerks and we should do away with them. What is the point of atheism in this game besides making Xoti mad a few times? I understand that atheism in this world is not the same as ours. ![]()
