Prator: I finished the game recently. In fact, I finished the game five times in a row recently, playing through with each of the five gods in five parallel games. I have to admit, I'm impressed with the ways that the five gods' plotlines interweave and cancel eachother out so perfectly. But even so, there's a few things that bother me:
First, there's Persephone's lack of an ending, but there's another thread for that, and the plot justifies it anyway. That's a beef I have with the game's development rather than the story.
Second, there's Marduk's/Mithras' prophecy. Was it actually supposed to be true, or was it just a pack of lies designed to make the gods fight eachother instead of focusing on Marduk?
Third, If the prophecy was true, how does that work out? Marduk insists that "there are no false prophecies, only false gods," but if he really believes that then he must know that Eldred is destined to defeat him and that one god must survive. He gives no indication of this in his dialogue in the Crucible mission.
Fourth, what is Marduk? He claims to be many things, but I'm still shaky on what he actually is.
Fifth, in the James/Persephone ending, Eldred lies about Mithras' fate and asks that Mithras be remembered as a hero. I do not understand why he did this.
