Sorry to necro this thread, I just wanted to say that the lack of Eothas content stung some people precisely because it was one of the most interesting aspects of the game world/plot. Eothas seemed like an allegory for communism, "The God That Failed", and not just in a modern sense. There were lots of peasant rebellions in medieval times that were based on religious, millenarian ideology. They believed their leader(s) were sent by god(s) and going to bring justice to the world and get rid of the wicked nobles .. but the "good guys" always ended up getting defeated by those nobles. The Eothas plotline explores the question of, what's it like to be one of the survivors of a crushed movement like that, grappling with whether you were on the right side, was the fight worth it since you lost so much, was your god even real? Or in this case, did he ever exist at all? Was Waidwen not really Eothas but just an avatar of the evil dude whose name I forget who was trying to stop animancy throughout history (seems there are hints that that is and also isn't the case)? The most moving part of the game imho was searching for Eder's brother and finding his memory. Also why couldn't he remember what Waidwen said? The story seemed to be saying, the answers to those big questions are lost. But maybe they also just didn't have time to flesh it out. Looks like Eothas will be the focus of POE2 so we will finally get everything we wanted :D
