Will Pantheon's revised lore use any inspiration from Kratos? (no flaming please)

darkdill··2 votes·689 views

Pantheon really doesn't have a true identity going for him; he's pretty much just a cheap 300 imitation without any real story, goals, etc.

Kratos, on the other hand, gets a decent story (all things considered) and a real reason to want to go on a roaring rampage of revenge.

Any thoughts on taking notes from God of War for Pantheon? Or are you picking a different direction?

So... instead of being "the guy from 300" he will be "the guy from GoW"?

I think that Riot can do something better.

No, I was just saying he could take a note or two from Kratos' dark and gritty background.

Pantheon: Baking is a dark and gritty profession.

You're right that he needs more back story and motivation. How did he become pantheon? What are his motivations? Right now the only thing interesting about his lore is that he always wanted to be a baker.

Jos original motivations was to make sure his homeland wouldn't be forgotten with the absence of war.

But that followed the IoW out the window.

Yeah, but even that motivation was kind of cheesy. How dare they make an Institute of war and not invite pantheon! I know we can come up with something better.

Agreed. Though I hope they make him as selfless as his previous lore could portray him as.

I think there are some elements that could be used from GoW, but there are just as many elements from "300" or "First Blood" that Rito could use.
