I just wanted to follow up on this with the release of the Godwoken Graphic Novel from Larian themselves. I can confirm now that I have it in my hands, that it contains no new information about the God King we don't already know.

Thank you for being the vaatividya of divinity. I think its funny that larian made up a new bad guy outta nowhere rather than use chaos or Damien again lol

The game *does* actually tell you how the God King got his powers when you eat void-tainted limbs as an elf. Vaguely it describes how he was led on by the seven in approach of the veil. He seemed to know vaguely what it was but the cat was out of the bag I guess because the memories clearly describe him being near it with the others. As he examined it, they drained it and created the hole. Before he could react, he was hurled into it. Betrayed. That's why he loathes them so much. I think that also confirms he was not part of the war against the Eternals, he wasn't there for it anymore. So one must assume his people were flung in after him. Then it describes his choking fear at the deafening silence and lack of light and emptiness. It's really well written. But with time, that place turned from strange and alien to familiar. There was nothing in the void except him and his *will*. So he seems to have seized command of it. There's a very clearly written bit where he becomes one with the void, and no mention of any other being there. The guy *was* king of a race of super beings so it makes sense his will was strong enough to find a way. So his immense power stems from having mastered a power nobody else has, and that eclipses any other magic, source or otherwise that exists. I like that idea a lot. Guy's a stone cold badass, kept away from Rivellon only because he needs source to manifest and doesn't have any.

Easter egg: Sheila's amulet is eight pointed. An acknowledgement of Chaos I presume.

Your videos are so helpful. I haven’t played any Divinity games before DOS2. I just finished the third act and was so lost about Godking vs Chaos and Void vs Tartarus etc. much appreciated!

Thanks man, am play dos2 now, i start to like watching your videos, an enjoyable experience

Great video!

With my current undead character I found the god King in he level before you fight your own gods. I swore the covenant and now I decided to fully be loyal to him after hearing the story. Time to bring everything down lmao

Happy new year, Mortism

Good video :)

In other words the 8 barons overthrew there already powerful god and became gods themselves but by banishing the god king they basically made him stronger and now there scared and need there creations help to save them from him If you think about it the 7 gods are the reason voidwoken came to rivelon and the god king is basically a god that got stabbed in the back by his lords

Happy new Year!

Hey do you think you can do Halo and pillars of eternity lore? I'm new so I don't know if you've done those yet.

This is something I was looking forward to, thank you! I wonder; is there any piece of lore that confirms that the Ranaar and the eternals are the same race? In the Divinity engine the Eternal architecture assets are labelled 'Raanaar' and in the 'Godwoken' graphic novel we can see that they look very similar if not identical to the Raanaar people.

What I dont get is when someone dies the God gets the source energy that Individuum stores up in thair lifetime So when the elfes got Fogged to shit Wouldnt the elf god not get a huge power spike for a short amount of time? to at least do something with

As someone who finds the world of divinity cool, and has friends who played a ton, but the games just haven't been for me these are super cool.

When you're done with the divinity series could you do this with the pillars series?

Do you have the Godwoken Graphic Novel? I'm sure there's lore pertaining to the god king in there. Also where are you getting this demon god chaos stuff? The only place I read that the demon god is an 8th Eternal is from the wiki yet I didn't see any citation from Original Sin 2.

Demons and the Void seem to not really get along, at least that was the case for the 2 most noteworthy demons in this game and their followers. It stands to reason that the same should (or at least could) also be true for Chaos and the God King. The most likely explaination would be that the demons don't like the Void taking over their turf and consider the 7 races "their" playthings, not the Voidwokens' food.

oh thanks you so much for the video i thought you forgotten about the comment

Could you try to explain / tie together and see if there's any relation between Void Dragon from DOS1 and the actual God King / Void in DOS2? Because it feels like the DOS1 Immaculates were the equivalent / beginnings of the Black Ring. I also want to point out that Dallis becomes a dragon in DOS2, so perhaps the Void Dragon was the God King in his dragon form - or a shadow of

What seems to be the case is that when You are faced with the problem of creating a story around some epic stuff, like demons / angles/ ascention / gods / souls etc... You absolutely need some external regulator, to make good villians and at the very least to dodge the cringe factor. Now for divinity this regulator is the source. For diablo it was the soulstone. I am curious what Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous's regulator is going to be. Because without regulator, you will end up with a story like 'We are devils and we are evil. We are evil, because muhahaha we want to destroy you! Fight us!' Which might be a nice story telling for 8-year olds, but if You want to get at least 4/10 on story score, You have to do better than that!!! Larian nailed it. Even tough there are some plot holes in the story, I very much enjoyed it. The villians were not one-dimensional and there was a lot of room for gray areas. Highly recommend DOS2 !!!

I think becoming Divine is best ending. All three endings have a limited time frame for bringing the world peace and prosperity. Someone will rip open the Veil again; people will fight over Source; or your grandson will turn out to be a dick. But perhaps as divine you can live a long, long time. It's very interesting to hear that the Eternals may have chosen their current state in order to survive. That implies they had the option to die. If so, there goes any sympathy for their eternal suffering. Now, it's the God King prolonging their misery. Who, or what, could be behind the God King? Is it a person or a blob of dark matter? Is the God King related to the Void Dragon from the previous game? Or the Trife? Trife was a pretty cool concept, as though some universe-creator millions of years ago had a curious thought, a trifle. It's as though existence itself hinges upon someone's initial pronouncement of "what if" into the void of space. That gave birth to the Trife, but as new possibilities opened up, the Trife was forgotten. It probably didn't like that.

Is Amadia dead?

Now a question that not even the writers can answer, what exactly is source and what exactly does it do?

he is a made up on the fly plot device because larian story writing is a joke
