I'm planning on getting the DLC eventually, but in the meantime I was wondering if someone who has already played it could give me some (possibly?) minor spoilers.

 

My question is this: are the librarians in the Forgotten Sanctum Wael godlikes? And if so, what abilities do they have? I seem to remember an event on Black Isle where there's a Wael godlike whose appearance matches theirs pretty closely, but there was no mention of it in the Dev stream.

 

My other theory is that they could be old servants who have become eyeless from staying around Wael too long (a la Fallen London's Eyeless Skull) but man, I really would like for it to be Wael godlikes.

 

If the answer turns out to be some massive spoiler, just tell me "yes" or "no". I can take it.

Those are not Wael godlikes. Your second theory is somewhat closer to the truth. 

I have not been very good at distracting them by knocking the books over so quite a few I have had to kill. Interestingly enough, librarians in other rooms do not automatically become your enemy if you have killed some.

Librarians seems kinda like drones rather than persons, I think they kinda lost something in process of becoming librarians

I tried to sneak past them in the restricted section but the bottom right room is so thick with them that I sadly had to kill them. A pity. They were pleasant smf harmless enough.

the archmage are half converted into librarian

it seems like effect of weal
