anyone else think we should have been able to become a god?

[Kargouel]

I would like the option to become a God. I chose the option of having a leader among the Gods, just to see if that would lead to something like that. If they do not implement it, an option of whether Eora needs the Gods or not would also be nice. There was also a hint on Eder's ending slides about a war with the Gods. 

[gkathellar]

Ondra's a good point; she threw the moon at Eora in order to destroy the leftover Engwithan technology not long after the God's were actually created. Abyddon only interfered in order to stop her.

Ondra implies that this incident is the reason for the pact, as it made the gods collectively blink and take a step back.

[Merany]

The "god" part is the weakest of Deadfire's story. Eothas just wasn't really interesting and well executed compared to the factions. So no, I don't think it would have been any good. Also, too similar to Divinity which is far too recent in my memory.

[jf8350143]

Either you found a way to harvest thousands of souls and absorb all their power(you should be able to try it at the end of PoE 1),or you persuade Eothas gives you all his power. None of it seems possible in Deadfire though.

[Palas]

just finished deadfire and kind of disappointed that there is no become a god ending

 

it would fit really well for my character because she would think she could do a better job running eora than the gods

 

especially after finding out that they're artificial constructs anyway

 

also would've been cool to agent smith eothas ya know and then take his power for ourselves as well as the souls from the first game and the ones in

 

xoti's lantern then take the power of the rest of  the gods and turn our self into the one true god

 

Mu hu ha ah ha

A complete civilisation was needed to create 11 gods. So no, i never expected to became a god.

 

Thats forgotten realms stuff, where a single mortal can ascend to a god.

[E.RedMark]

while I have no interest to go into Politic-..I mean Godhood buziness 

 

would be nice if we get something like Times of Troubles in POE3 

[Gromnir]

three pages?  this thread generated three pages o' serious responses?

 

...

 

however, so as to not be derailing, we will answer the genesis post query: 

 

yes, given the feedback you have already received, it would appear there is people who believe the watcher should become a god of eora... but there is also people who believe the world is flat and that the moon landings were faked.

 

am s'posing the evil midnight bomber who bombs at midnight said it best when he opined,

 

"And so he says to me, 'you wanna be a bad guy?' And I say, 'yeah, baby! I wanna be bad!' And I says, 'surf's up, space ponies! I'm making gravy without the lumps!' Aaaaahahahahahaha!"

 

HA! Good Fun!

[Amentep]

I figured if they were going to do it, it'd be a third game where they'd do it in.

 

Anyhow, there is always this:

None of it seems possible in Deadfire though.

But you go around picking up souls as the Herald of Berath. And I don't think you ever release them, do you? Edited June 5, 2018 by CENIC

[Aramintai]

They should make it an option in potential POE3 and end the Watcher story like in Throne of Bhaal.

[FecklessFool]

I don't think the Watcher should be able to become a god. Kill gods by taking down their servers sure, but becoming one would be tough because how many souls would they need to do that.

 

Though if they made it so they could somehow absorb the Engwithan souls that make up whatever god and channel that into a god making device, that would work for me.

 That will be the ending of PoE3. You will attempt to become a god and take over the throne of the now dead god Eothas.

 

 But, then,  a godlike and his irrepressible little sister, along with their small adventuring party, will come in, wipe out all of your minions and kill you in an epic battle that takes place in four distinct phases.

 

 Sad story, that.

Naming my next character Melissan, now.

[Tarlonniel]

So that's what Eothas has been up to for the last 15 years.

 

Looking forward to the Eothas godlike chickens, imps, xaurips...

[Sectoray9906]

OMG thank you, someone finally said it.....I swear to God, I was hoping to being a god but nope

[Boeroer]

But you became a necromancer instead. Also not bad imo...
