Despite their faults and their various quirks, I love the hades family portrayed in this game. Under all the snark and various callous undertones of various characters, they all want the best for everyone, including the big man hades himself.
And despite all that he is the most stable and nicer god compared to the rest honestly minus hephaestus and hermes, working for hades may be harsh and hard but again compared to most of his brothers and sisters on Olympus, i rather work with mister tsundere doom, gloom and snark
@@Darkmythsolider He may be harsh, but he's honest and whatever he says, rarely has any second meaning or intentions. If he was an olimpian... ugh... pure politics and games of power, all the time; in the short or the long run. Hades only wants to keep all working orderly, nothing more, nothing else.
My favourite thing is how close and fond of each other Persephone and Nyx are. There’s no competition, just gratitude towards each other, both understanding that they are equally important to Zagreus. It’s just really heartwarming to see, Zagreus is lucky to have two beautiful mothers. 💕
If Hades were to have a sequel, he'll probably have at least 2 siblings Macaria: Goddess of Blessed Death and Melinoe: Goddess of Ghosts. Maybe 3 if Supergiant Games figure out what to do with Plutus: God of Abundance.
Ohhh I wish Persephone and Hades had Makaria, Melinoe and Plutus too... But i understand that as the producers changed a lot of the Greek mythological too in this game
Three. You're forgetting little Plutus, Zag's younger brother, god of wealth. The game presents itself with the idea that mortals don't actually have accurate representations of immortal doings. Look at Zagreus and Dionysus misleading Orpheus-- that alone would be enough proof. Zag also seems to be himself as well as an amalgam of his other siblings-- his love for Thanatos included. Also we're missing the drama of Menthe, the nymph who tried to comfort Hades when Persephone was away. Persephone punished her in a fit of jealousy upon her return, turned her into the mint plant. Would have been nice to have her trapped in Persephone's garden along with Parsle.
@@Xebelan Still would like to see his sister's represented as it doesn't seem right to fridge them, plus they also didn't plan to have Zag so... her saying no doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Also, there's a lot of hinting at DLC or sequel baiting so, who knows?
@@NoirRaven They weren't fridged, that implies showing up to further the hero's quest and either killed or put on the metaphorical bus when they were no longer useful. They just don't exist in this version (like many other Theoi)-- kinda like Orion for Artemis or the fact Athena and Hephaestus have an annual love affair and a child or that Iris also goes down to the Underworld regularly and is faster than Hermes because she's the rainbow on Master Chaos' hair-- it's all very condensed for the game. Ancient mythology is messier than modern folk might like it to be. Considering Zag's youngest sister Makaria, goddess of blessed death, is married to Thanatos and Melinoe is the goddess of ghosts and undead-- gonna have to say they might not appear because it would screw with the story as presented. Plutus being the god of wealth given to mortals by Hades and Persephone is still a possibility. Gifting mortals the work of his parents constantly would make him an unsuitable heir as well. Plutus/Plutis could be a girl in game canon. Cut her hair short and have her trying to mimic Zag and the mortals could be forgiven for thinking Zagreus has a brother if she follows him up to the surface.
@@Xebelan Whatever man, that explanation was overly long for a simple one liner and honestly, I don't care if it interferes with the romance between Than and Zag; Makaria deserves to exist. She doesn't even need to be romantically involved with anyone to exist and it's pretty clear by the canon polyamory that Than is fine with Zag "two -timing" on him so why would Zag care if Than got the hots for Macaria? I'm also not looking forward to another masc-presenting "sister," who's mistaken for a he. There's very little point in doing that and reduces the characters impact as a female lead/co star.
@@NoirRaven You want what you want. I get it. No reason to be rude. However, you're mis-respresenting. Polyamory is fine with Meg. Than only participates because he's pressured by Meg. She encourages it. In Than's run he does not encourage you to mess around with Meg. I've played it both ways. Zag only participates in polygamy if you want him to. He expresses no desire to do so if you do not follow that path. There are zero masculine girls in the Hades setting atm. Even the Furies are feminine. Zag's potential female sibling being a tomboy and trying to emulate big brother would be unique in setting. This is a game and not a devotional-- it's also not the only format these stories are told in. I know of webcomics that revolve around Makaria-- maybe those would suit you better? The game is a work of fiction- there is no onus to include all actual characters or we'd also have the rest of Hades' court assembled down to Hades' poor cup-bearer to hear the dead's appeals in the' throne room there instead of the simplicity of big H at his desk. Also we'd have a garden full of Persephone's victims including Menthe. That all would darken the tone of a game aiming for wholesome.
Gigaros vs Varatha: The Hellish Bident of Tartarus vs The Eternal Bident-like Spear and Titanslayer, two weapons belonging to Hades. What a battle it would be!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There is quite a lot. Hades and Achilles will comment on all the hidden aspects and some of the gods will comment on them as well and I think Demeter will comment if you use her aspect as well.
I like the little touch that Persephone starts with so many hearts already unlocked
I think they all start with 6, save for a select few like Hades.
I HATE that little touch >:(
"Here, Thanatos, a casual little table, just a small, humble furnishing to make your breaks a bit more relaxing."
*"THIS CAN'T BE."*

@@JeshuaMorbus further proof why working for hades in those times was better in the long run.
Meanwhile Orpheus blasting his esophagus in the background
If so, that sounds like he's been using the wrong pipe all along! ajkscnwk
Zag: your not thinking of having more children are you?
Me: *sweats as I remember that he is supposed to have two sisters*
Cue Hades 2!
and one of them already has a game
JUST LET ME INTERIOR DECORATE, *DAD* !
I don't know, theirs a few he approves of.
Zagreus: God of Busy Bodies and Softness
And God of talking back to Hades!
And maybe Blood? Ehh... That one's a stretch.

Aww, Zag was worried about having a sibling

@@emperorskulls I honestly hope there is a sequel. This game rules
@@yaboigamerdouji7573 th-cam.com/video/WzJ_UhPptBQ/w-d-xo.html
@@loamysoil777 I know. Wish granted
Lol foreshadowing?
This game has really fleshed everyone out quite well.
Yes Dusa got a promotion. Good for her😊😄
Let's hope there's an update where we can see the team of custodians under her wing... hair... snakes?
i have a similar dynamic with my family, alway baring our teeth, but still loving
me too. family's like that tends to be really protective when outsider mess with your frailly *sound of something sharpening*
@@timexyemerald6290 accurate
Ohhh I wish Persephone and Hades had Makaria, Melinoe and Plutus too... But i understand that as the producers changed a lot of the Greek mythological too in this game
They kept a lot too. Reinterpreted (the song of Orpheus about Zagreus is stupidly funny XD) but pretty faithful.
And now Hades and Persephone do have another child in the sequel!
5:22 Insert so, that was a lie meme after 2022 game awards
The little “You alright?” From Thanatos was all the aftercare I needed
Good for Dusa!
If they ever make a sequel it could be zagreus going through the underworld to help his future siblings
"hahaha no, you're plenty."
well that was a straight up lie
Um... Persephone does have more children. 2 more, to be exact. Girls.
Three. You're forgetting little Plutus, Zag's younger brother, god of wealth.

Kinda sad they didn't mention the daughters of hades and persephone, Macaria and Melinoe....
Zagreus, the God of having the last word.
I don’t know why I’m still on this DOOM obsession, but I really want to see the Slayer tearing through the Underworld here.
Theyve already got a dedicated slayer in that underworld, so maybe not necessary
Hades: "I said there's no escape. I never said anything about people barging in...".
5:24 well, she outright denied hades 2
is there anything special or extra dialogues with the other aspects
There is quite a lot. Hades and Achilles will comment on all the hidden aspects and some of the gods will comment on them as well and I think Demeter will comment if you use her aspect as well.
@@nontimetis which is your favourite weapon? Ever consider Godfall?
@@GameLover45408 The bow is my favorite, but all have their merits :)
Godfall is on my radar, so I might pick it up.
@@nontimetis cheers
Yay dusa
Dusa became custodian ? Is she gonna start wearing golden armor and refer to hades as the emperor now ?
The Emperor Protects!
you just can't run from 40k it seems
@Joe Alexander finally someone not insulting Konrad
Heyy
To get the romance scene with meg, I have to get her Ambrosia right?
Hi,
Yes, you will unlock a meter for special affection when you give her enough gifts. Fill that and you get the scene after few more runs.
@@nontimetis Damn, Thanks a lot
Can people name some games where they audibly said to themselves "I'm glad they talked to each other" about two or more characters?
5:20 nooooo what about macaria and melinoe????
I have to ask, what are those little Hades quotes at the end from?
At the start of each run, but I'm sure by now u would already have known.
8:11
Dunno man, seems kinda fruity to me.
5:25 This little bit of dialogue didn’t age well 😂
