Hope Zagreus becomes a boss to wreck this bitch
At first, I thought this random new girl might be his daughter, since she has the same mismatched eyes, but no, she's a daughter of Hades and Persephone that was never mentioned before, or even alluded to existing. And in lore, we know Zagreus died at birth for certain reasons that would still apply, but I guess they can just use the good ol Nyx excuse again.

Either way, I'll still get the game, but this would've been way more hype if we were playing as Zagreus going to take down Kronos. No clue why they've decided to go the female protag direction out of nowhere.

Absolutely based random kid snuck into the game awards and stole Elden Ring's award for his rabbi Bill Clinton. I ain't even mad. This is most entertaining the Games Award has been in years. What a troll.
Bill Clinton converted to Judaism?

In Classical Myth, Hades actually had Zagreus and a Daughter with Persephone... of course, we hear nothing of their daughter as they wanted to make Zagreus special... but it very, very much leads into that problem since now it's basically pulling shit out of the ass unless you explicitly put this MANY years later to justify her existence AND to avoid the same problem with Zagreus which... yeah.

Fuck it, gonna try building a Transformers-themed deck once certain cards get added to Arena.

Now that I think about it, does Transformers already have a connection to D&D?

In classical myth, I am aware Melinoe is their daughter too(In most versions its actually Zeus whose the father, because even for classical poets, Hades could rarely catch a break), but as you're aware, there was no mention of her, and Hades himself tells Zagreus in the first game that he'd rather not go through what he went through with Zag's birth a second time. So, in other words, the devs have a good bit of ground to cover to justify Melinoe's existence in the game's timeline, and also her as the protagonist over Zagreus.

And if anyone is about to BS me with "Oh, but Zag can't be on the surface for more than a few minutes!" neither should Melinoe, as she should be under similar circumstances to Zag, so whatever logic is being used to allow her to function on the surface world, would and SHOULD work for Zag as well.

Given the devs writing capability, Melinoe will probably win me over in the actual game, but even then, it won't stop me preferring Zagreus to remain the protagonist.
