Bro I was genuinely worried that I was going to not like GOW 2018 as much anymore after playing the Greek games, because of 2018 and Ragnarok's slower pace compared to its predecessors, but to my shock....I actually think the game becomes better when you have prior context to the story. Like it is so satisfying seeing Kratos, who had to constantly be hit with constant tragedy upon tragedy, and slowly turning into a monster throughout the Greek Saga, go from how he was reduced to in God of War III to slowly but surely learning to forgive himself for the shit he did in the past and becoming a great father and friend to the people who genuinely love and care about him.Man, God Of War 2018 has such good graphics, I think games made only for PS4 at the time focused more on graphics, whereas in God Of War Ragnarok the same thing didn't happen on PS4, where the graphics aren't very good, but its PS5 version is beautiful.
Do we books have any explanation about that regeneration of Kratos from God Of War 2018?In the first novel;
The Desert of Lost Souls is another dimension accessed by a magical gateway rather than being right next to Athens. Aphrodite teleports Kratos to Medusa's lair rather than her just hanging out in some random room near the docks of Athens. The pocket dimension is almost like a Domain Expansion rather than a portal (fixed in the second novel). Ares is killed by his own sword arm things.
In the second novel;
Athena blitzes Hermes at some point. Kratos summons all the Titans, including even trapped ones like Atlas.
Those are the major differences I can think of. The rest is just a lot of extra writing and characterization.
Comic says he is cursed so that no matter what he tries he can't die and will regen iircDo we books have any explanation about that regeneration of Kratos from God Of War 2018?
I’m pretty sure that was related to any attempt to unalive himself.Comic says he is cursed so that no matter what he tries he can't die and will regen iirc
Isn't he cursed to walk on "earth" forevor in general?I’m pretty sure that was related to any attempt to unalive himself.
Probably, I’m just aware that kratos is cursed to not die by his own hands, if he attempted to unalive himself as well.Isn't he cursed to walk on "earth" forevor in general?
No, Cory also himself confirms that Kratos is cursed to walk the Earth forever. Kratos also constantly talks about being cursed with a "deathless misery".I’m pretty sure that was related to any attempt to unalive himself.
So that Hera quote is a fake, bro? (man, I have no idea who gave Kratos such good immortality, but that's a hell of a show)No, Cory also himself confirms that Kratos is cursed to walk the Earth forever. Kratos also constantly talks about being cursed with a "deathless misery".
He can't die of old age (He can't age to begin with) and he can't die of organ damage (He doesn't need them anyway)
I recall a part of that curse encompassing him not being able to kill himself if he wanted too, deathless misery makes sense since he will have to live with all of the sins and guilt that he bears+ thor kills him technicallyNo, Cory also himself confirms that Kratos is cursed to walk the Earth forever.

That curse also grants him eternal life.I recall a part of that curse encompassing him not being able to kill himself if he wanted too,
TrueThat curse also grants him eternal life.
Doesn't that seem a bit redundant to give a deathless curse to someone who, like most gods, can't die from natural causes and age or was the curse just extra steps taken to ensure that even suicide wouldn't be enough to escape his misery?That curse also grants him eternal life.
I'm pretty sure that's just referring to the fact that he's well, the Sun. Life wouldn't exist without that.I was wondering, shouldn’t Helios get life manipulation, since his light was stated to give life to the world? As well as telekinesis via stopping kratos from his fall.
He'd still get telekinesis though wouldn't he? He was the one that caught Kratos in Chains as he and Kratos point out.I'm pretty sure that's just referring to the fact that he's well, the Sun. Life wouldn't exist without that.
I actually forgot that was a thing TBF. I was planning on adding it to the gods at large, Athena's also got feats for Telekinesis.He'd still get telekinesis though wouldn't he? He was the one that caught Kratos in Chains as he and Kratos point out.
Yeah, her and Ares should get it, so I assume basically all the Gods could do it.I actually forgot that was a thing TBF. I was planning on adding it to the gods at large, Athena's also got feats for Telekinesis.
Do You have cory statament btw? I tried to find iy but couldn'tNo, Cory also himself confirms that Kratos is cursed to walk the Earth forever. Kratos also constantly talks about being cursed with a "deathless misery".

Yes.Do You have cory statament btw? I tried to find iy but couldn't
Yes.
Possibly because he had come to terms with the Blades that he'd never be able to get rid of them, it was his prior decision to throw them away that made them keep coming back.Quick question, is there a reason how Kratos was able to keep the Blades of Chaos under his house? They’re linked to him and we know that he couldn’t get rid of them as they always came back.
I know gameplay wise it was to have a nostalgic scene of acquiring them, but lore wise I kinda wonder how he was able to travel the different realms without them following him if he ever decided to just ditch the house.

Something like that.So basically intent? They stay put if he knows he can’t get rid of them but the moment he tries they come to him?
I mean, isn’t the temple what works as a personification of the sun ? And Helios’s energy is just primordial fire, which is stated to have given life to the world or something like that.I'm pretty sure that's just referring to the fact that he's well, the Sun. Life wouldn't exist without that.
Not really, no. At least, not in the way like Chaos, who actually birthed all the major Primordials, the Primordial Fire, and what-have-you.I mean, isn’t the temple what works as a personification of the sun?

It's cool to know that Kratos' weapons have a personality, it reminded me of Devil May CrayPossibly because he had come to terms with the Blades that he'd never be able to get rid of them, it was his prior decision to throw them away that made them keep coming back.
