January 31, 20179 yr so, i was thinking about this last night- in the screenshots and video clips from the reveal, we see a fire godlike who isnt represented in the art, and who seems to represent the main character. my thought was that, seeing as Eothas devours your soul, you might have inherited some of his essence and been turned into a fire-god like as a result. Looking at the detail on Eder and Pallegina models in the frames on the fig page, and that image of the fire-god like they lead animator, i'm all little worried that may be the case. anybody considered that yet?
January 31, 20179 yr I think it's incredibly unlikely Obsidian are going to force a race on the player.
January 31, 20179 yr No, it is confirmed that you will play as your old Watcher, who can virtually be any race.

This seems extremely unlikely to me. Plus fire godlike are typically associated with Magran, not Eothas.

January 31, 20179 yr Author i'm not saying you're not the old watcher, but that the old watcher's soul is transported intot the body of a fire god-like, which would make sense after a close run in with Eothas, whose previous incarnation as Waidwaiden was a fire god-like.... otherwise, who is the fire god-like?
January 31, 20179 yr I don't think they'll go that way; I only believe that character was put into the game trailer in order to show off its improvement in the graphical department (that blazing model looks amazing!)

Waidwen wasn't a Fire Godlike. He was a human whose body become the vessel for Eothas's soul and, as a result, emitted pure light (Eothas being the god of light and all). otherwise, who is the fire god-like? A fancy character model that Obsidian wanted to show off? Maybe another companion but that seems unlikely given we already have a Godlike companion.
January 31, 20179 yr Author ah, gotcha. Good answers. I was a little nervous about that last night, as I like the freedom, as we all do, to choose race and gender. Good looking out, forum.
January 31, 20179 yr My old watcher just so happened to be a fire-godlike monk. He punched people. It hurt them a lot. You read my post. You have been eaten by a grue.
