some ghostly looking berserkers are the new valkyries. And the head of them all is King Hrolf(might be spelling it wrong). These berserkers are even harder optional bosses than the valkyries. Honestly they look cooler and more varied too.

What makes you say that?

it feels like there is foundation being set for a potential romance in the future. It might be because Kratos has opened up way more than he did in 2018 but there are still some lines they gave the pair that feels like a new side of Kratos is being shown

I can vibe with the grounded designs of the Norse Gods since that has more influence on the story side that the devs are trying to go for. Now what I would not vibe with is fights and scenes with the Norse gods lacking epicness, that is something that shouldn’t be grounded in design. Hopefully that isnt the case in Ragnarok.

there is a guy that's been streaming the spanish version of ragnarok starting from the beginning of the game for over 11 hours and its still going

I can't understand spanish but from the visuals, Surtr's jotnar shrine realm shows that he destroys Asgard's realm symbol off of a visual depiction of the world tree, meaning he completely destroyed the entire realm of Asgard.

How do the "grounded" designs have more influence on the story side the devs are trying to go for?
- 7,897

Designs show how the Gods and Giants carry themselves in their mythology. Not to mention spoilers but based on designs alone you aren't able to tell who are truly the bad guys or those who would become good when you have designs that make them look more human than Godly. And since the Norse Gods do go through the trouble of making themselves appear as the good guys in their tales and even falsify tales, I think the grounded designs show how they always want to appear as the good guys who could do no harm.

I see what you mean. But you can still make more unique "godly" designs and still keep the sense of mystery. Like who is the bad guy or who will betray you ect... Looking human doesen't automatically make you seem like a good guy or makes you look like you can do no harm.

It also reflects the differences between pantheons. The Greeks were larger then life and truly immortal, domineering forces whose passions were the grounds for fables. The Norse Gods are more human, more limited (one of Thor's biggest myths is explicitly about his limitations) and they have the shade of mortality hanging over there heads, the same as any man

i mean, Odin for pete's sake looks like a old and weak-looking man, but when you fight him, he's shows a lot more than you would assume

Looking human to create alignment ambiguity is just one aspect of grounded designs for Gods that can work.

I really don't like the route they're taking with Atreus, Angrboda, and their children.
Instead of Fenrir, Hel, and Jormungandr being Atreus and Angraboda's literal offspring, they are just Jotnar creatures that had the souls of giants or in Fenrir's case, a wolf, put into them. I don't think Skoll and Hati are offspring of Fenrir despite the shrine saying so, Jormungandr is the only one that went back in time despite the novel implying otherwise, and from what I've seen so far none of that makes sense with what was set up even if we use the argument that things changed because Ragnarok started early

Just saw the Heimdall boss fight, unlike Hermes you don't de-feet him but you certainly dis-arm him

Doesn't change my point at all. Which is that Gods should have more creative and unique designs. They don't have to go over the top with it or anything. They can still look human and have really good designs which for the most part is missing in Ragnarok when it comes to Gods. I'm not saying human=bland and generic.
Altough i will say, Ragnarok really improved in the enviromental art aspect compared to the 2018 one.

you don't fight the norns

well kratos become the king and atreus searching remaining giants
- 3,764
- 2,172
I feel like the Heimdall fight is more evidence for Kratos' AD/RE
- 3,062
- 1,141
need more lore about him btw.
- 3,062

btw Heimdall realms shift should have resistance negation.
- 3,764
- 2,172
Why? Kratos resists them, the guy playing keeps getting hit cause he sucks

Nidhogg chews the roots of the world tree to prevent overgrowth
- 3,062

well kratos still slowed down.

ohh interesting

Atreus traveled to Jotunheim by dreaming about it and then traveled back to his home cabin in the wilds by thinking about going home
- 3,062
- 1,141
which means kratos realms shift should have resistance negation properties in it. Easy and straightforward scaling
- 3,062
- 1,141
now for this it's need some context behind it
- 7,897
- 3,856
It kinda just happens to be honest. That's the Angrboda section of the game
- 7,897
- 3,856
I'm getting this from a guy who's been streaming the entire game from the start. He's like 12 or so hours in.
- 3,062

hope he is not missing any dialog tho. Because you know all feats from leaks can misguide us due to incomplete context or dialog

Kind of weird because it didn't work on Baldur.

Surtr states the Blades of Chaos have primordial flames in them when he meets Kratos
- 3,764

Him being able to still dodge and block attacks is still him being resistant.
No, just stronger realm shifts
Prolly jus his spell
