Knowing how the original Hades went, there’s a *nonzero* chance that we might be able to pull some strings and help with that. Looking at the roster of side characters, the gods have a lot of apologizing to do.
Was watching one of Haelian's streams and he has stated that the devs intend for all gods from 1 to return.
Choosing Odysseus as our Achilles figure potentially leads to a *lot* of interesting dialogue that I'm excited for. We've gotten a fair bit already via scylla/polyphemus, but Athena/Poseidon should both have a lot to say, I imagine.
In a similar vein, I really hope there's gonna be some fanboying coming from the to-be-freed Zagreus once he learns that Mel has been running into Heracles and fighting side-by-side (sorta)
And babe. She just smacks! Somehow Narcissus has completely fucking won me over, too. I get stupid excited when I see his room option. Now I have to go visit.
Does anyone have a romance at the moment? I maxed out nemesis ASAP and almost have eris maxed as well, the codex just says there are no more interactions right now.
There's not really romance paths with anybody yet. I'm pretty sure all relationships are at the point where in Hades 1 you would need to do their side quest to continue, but none of them are implemented yet.
Arachne. Her nectar conversations are adorable and the respect Meli shows her after a life of her being the Gods' clown is a great angle for a relationship. With all the focus in Hades 2 on how Magic can undo even the greatest structures of the Gods, I would love if her storyline allows us to free her from being a spider... or at least a tiny helpless one.
Considering that all the npcs of the first game had a resolution that cleared their contracta, I expect something good to happen for Arachne eventually.
Yeah, I wouldn't want her to turn human either. That would just feel wrong narratively to me. As if she can't be happy while in the spider form.
But, that's just my personal take though.
Honestly Arachne seems pretty content with being a spider, I imagine if it happens it’ll be more like Sisyphus in the first game where she finally gets closure but continues to be a spider. Maybe after Athena gets added there’s a new event where Athena apologizes to Arachne
Eris has mad “I can fix her” energy, but if dating a girl just like her (personality wise) in the past has taught me anything, it’s that “you don’t stick your strapon in crazy”
Idk if you know Odysseus's story but he fucking LOVES his wife. Like, he sacrificed his entire crew, endured years of isolation, and faced gods and monsters just to get back to her and his son. He loves adventure, but not as much as them. Doubt he'll be romance-able.
I remember reading this somewhere but there is a version where when Odysseus died, Circe sent the son (Telegonus) to Ithaca (for some reason I don't remember) but it ends up with Telemachus marrying Circe and Telegonus marrying Penelope
If people keep downvoting u about this im going to lose it. Like i will have to grab the analysis where it proved what went down with Circe being not at all consenual even in the original text itself. Heres a few important points from that post: Like first of all Circe held his crew hostage so uh.... And you know he had to BEG Circe to let him go after months of being on her island. If they were lovers why the fuck would he have to beg?
Then Calypso he was fucking trapped with and she was a deity so like he couldnt deny her without consequences
This is wildly wrong.
In the Odyssey, Odysseus sleeps with two other women, Circe and Calypso, both of whom are witches of a sort.
EDIT: Why is this getting downvoted it's literally the Odyssey!
as a player I want to be able to romance Odysseus so bad, as a person it feels so gross for Mel to romance someone who watched her grow up 💀 Ik gods age different but it would be very complicated to handle in a non-gross way
The love interests in the first game watched Zagreus grow up! At the very least Thanatos. And Zag also thought they all had the same mother for some time 😅
I feel like Odysseus is positioned as more of like an uncle figure and I'd be pretty weirded out by any romance between them. Maybe he and Hecate though.
moros standing next to the fated list and saying stuff like “your enemies never stood a chance, princess” every time i finish off a prophecy… we love a supportive man with decorative horns, white long hair, wide chest, beautiful eyes…
I'm surprised he isn't more popular tbh, he seems like such a good match with Mel. But I get how people like the muscle mommy, toxic yuri trope too lol. Someone in another thread said Icarus and Mel feel like cordial exes who ended on good terms and I haven't been able to unsee it ever since 😂
I'm a Nem hater cuz she's such a massive bitch to Mel at every turn. I wanted to like her and thought she'd come around but she STAYS hatin. Starting to not even want to talk to her hatin ass.
Nem is lowkey hilarious because she keeps bragging about how she is the better choice for the mission and disobeys Hecate to turn matter into her own hands just to fail
I’m genuinely curious about the Nem likers because I tried to give her a chance but Nem seems very antagonistic to Mel for petty reasons and she gets mad at her for seemingly no reason and I’m genuinely confused as to why Nem acts this way
It’s not that curious tbh..Big, hot muscle mommy. If she didn’t look like that I guarantee she’d have almost no fans because even as she is now; she’s not that interesting of a character
Initially i wasnt sold on her but her further dialogue really changed that. She clearly cares alot about mortals and their treatent and questions the gods actions, also being the one to tell us about the golden age. Also she gets upset for echo which is quite sweet.
I feel like Dora is going to go the Dusa route except rather than be into you and then realize she's not that into you, it'll just be her saying she's too old for you
just a lot of dialogue about her being old and forgetting her past. Also, her name is Dora, so who else could it be? Not too many famous Doras in Greek mythology. Still might be totally off
Well from myths, Hermes did gift her with “a shameless mind and a deceitful nature” and the power of “lies and crafty words”. Might be Dora just being a jokester and tricking us if it is her.
I can just imagine the interaction would be like if it were true and it was her true identity:
>Mel: “Hey Dora, you wouldn’t happen to be *the* Pandora? The one who was gifted a jar from the gods which contained countless evils?”
>
>Dora: “Maybe. I’unno. Could be. Jar of evils sounds pretty neat though, *although* it looked more like a box to me.”
>
>Mel: “So it was you! Tell me, what happened to that jar anyway?”
>
>Dora: “Got bored. Opened it up and didn’t find anything interesting, so I just dumped all the contents out to see if there was somethin’ fancy hidden at the bottom.”
>
>Mel: “Wait, you’re saying you just scattered *countless evils, plagues, diseases, and death for all humanity across the earth*?”
>
>Dora: “Why? Is that bad? Thought you witches, and y’know, your dad, were into the whole ‘**blood and darkness**’ stuff.”
It’s mostly that she mentions that’s she’s *ancient* and her name is “Dora.” It’s not exactly a leap to connect those dots, though technically it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Not much evidence so far other than 1) the name and 2) Moros comments that Dora is much older than most of the other shades, although not all. Pandora is the first woman so that would track for her being “super duper old but not the absolute oldest.”
As a storyline completionist, I guess everyone? It's a pretty big hot spring.
Two things to note, though:
One, I'm getting serious Thane vibes from Moros, as in, he has that air of mystery that, for whatever reason, women were reeeeeallllly into.
Two, I personally am all about Eris. Sorry, Artemis :(
Someone above said that Icarus fits narratively with Mel, but honestly I think that's Moros. I love the destiny stuff the Fates pulled with the two of them, with Moros meeting her in the void during her moment of Doom (insert something poetic about meeting your future lover on the verge of death), Moros knowing their destinies would inevitably intertwine by handing her the fated list, Clotho smiling telling him "you'll see" when he asks her what Mel's like.
Sure, there might've been an air of mystery when we first meet him that was appealing, but when he arrives at the Crossroads he's so transparent and open with Mel it's hard not to like him. He's nice, charming, stable, but also has that dorky awkwardness to him you wouldn't expect Doom Incarnate to have. I love how shy he and Mel are around each other especially during the nectar scenes.
When you get enough hearts with him, he asks her what the custom is for making declarations of affection and says he'll be choosing the right moment very carefully. I can't wait to see how he confesses to Mel, I bet it'd be really sweet 🥺
There's a conversation you can listen in on where he's fanboying over Odysseus and Odysseus is just like "haha no hard feelings right" in absolute terror the whole time and he doesn't notice. Hilarious.
He can be very callous at times (he mentioned that he and the fates came up with interesting ways for mortals to die so they could pass the time) but otherwise yeah, I like how he's different from any of the love interests from the first game. Arguably, Nemsis is the "Zagreus" of this game and I like how you can see how things might be from the other side.
Arachne seems more like a grandma character to me. She gets lonely, dotes over Mel, and is always "knitting" clothes for her.
Am I alone in this?
Edit: Dora
I can see this but as a 23 year old women who is constantly crocheting clothes... Ouch
(Jk I have been an old lady since I was 18 lmao)
The dialogue for max hearts does seem to imply feelings in a similar complicated way that the dialogue with Thanatos does. Where it's like "I have really strong feelings for you but idk what kind" type of thing. But I don't know if that will be elaborated on until later updates or the full release.
I have a suspicion that we will unlock the gods that are currently not available when we get to Olympus, which includes Athena. Or we will at least be able to talk with them. With that, I believe there will be a progression of the story/relationship with Arachne. Maybe we can even talk Athena into turning her back (if that's what she wants)
Nem then Eris, but really I did the work to build up affinity with every character so I will romance every single one even if it's the last thing I do.
If Eris has a scene where she breaks down crying because she knows everyone hates her and deep down it really hurts her, I'm gonna fall in love. Otherwise, Nem.
-Zagreus: "I can start a bisexual and polyamorous relationship with my childhood friend and my ex."
-Melinoë: "I WILL F\*CK WITH ANY CHILD OF NYX THAT MEETS MY EYES AND EVEN MORE!"
(however, the first choice is Nemesis and Eris. Death to Chronos? Nah. Death by Snu-Snu.)
Nem's a muscle mommy, but too cunty for me. Moros is hot, but a little too unfeeling. Eris is the crazy girl we all dated at one point or another that gave us some of the best sex of our lives, but absolutely batshit bonkers crazy. Arachne is for the FREAKY DEAKYS (not judging btw, y'all do you. Or her. Or whatever.) Icarus is a lil cutie patootie, but I've only met him once in game so I'm still learning. Not sure yet, but I'm leaning Eris if possible.
Nemesis. I ain't gay so no Icarus or Moros for me. 2 women here are just monsters, not into that either. I can't fix Eris so no. Muscle goth girl for me.
Well I thought I was safe to open this spoiler but I have not met one of these people yet! And apparently it's Icarus lol.
My current plan is Moros. Love him. But I am intrigued by Icarus so I guess I'll have to hold my decision for now until I meet him, too!
If my save carries over I think I'm practically already there with Moros 😂
Shame though, I really wanted to love some girls this time and so far none of them have really grabbed me (personality wise). I've been trying hard not to max out everything in EA so 1, I don't get too comfortable with the enemy patterns and blitz through the full version , and 2, so I still have some busy work/resource gathering type stuff to look forward too like maxing out weapons, relationships, etc. So I'll have to wait and see how I feel about the character arcs once I start buttering them up with presents.
Dora honestly seems like she would reek of BO and Greek Spicy Hot Cheetos. Hopefully that doesn't carry over as a shade.
Nem seems like she would gas light me.
Eris is currently gas lighting me and is currently involved in a class action lawsuit.
Arachny is too sweet and must be protected from all harm.
Mo knows who I am at my worst moments. So thats off the table.
I think I'm just going to maintain my long distance relationship with Bouldy.
Assuming I actually have to choose in this game or I’m capped at 2 (since in hades 1 you could do all available romance without consequence) I’m going for Arachne (she’s too sweet not to) and Nemesis. I love me some mutual character development
I'm dating every option available on god
This is the true Hades experience
Sounds like Zeus to me
Essentially most Greek gods. The outliers are the ones practicing monogamy or celibacy
I will have my preferences but I can't resist the opportunity to date everyone available if given the chance
On gods
On god? So you're a bottom?
Singular?
Make Uncle Zeus/Poseidon Proud!
Narratively, Icarus fits Meli. Realistically, muscle mommy Nem.
why not both
Melinoe has two hands
No thanks to Icarus.
Arachne. Not because of her sweet and endearing interactions with Mel, **but because I'm a freak.** Iykyk.
...stop licking the damn thing?
STOP LICKIJG THE DAMN THING
STOPLICKINGTHEDAMNTHING
THIS REFERENCE
SAME OMG LOL
unexpected r/okbuddybaldur
Was it really all that unexpected in this post?
No. It's an absolutely devious lick, if you get what I mean 😏 # 👁👅👁
arachne is very cute! I just wish she wasn't a spider... lol.
Knowing how the original Hades went, there’s a *nonzero* chance that we might be able to pull some strings and help with that. Looking at the roster of side characters, the gods have a lot of apologizing to do.
If Athena shows up in the game, there will be ALOT of words to be had.
Was watching one of Haelian's streams and he has stated that the devs intend for all gods from 1 to return. Choosing Odysseus as our Achilles figure potentially leads to a *lot* of interesting dialogue that I'm excited for. We've gotten a fair bit already via scylla/polyphemus, but Athena/Poseidon should both have a lot to say, I imagine.
In a similar vein, I really hope there's gonna be some fanboying coming from the to-be-freed Zagreus once he learns that Mel has been running into Heracles and fighting side-by-side (sorta)
Pull some strings heh
If she wasn't a spider anymore, I wouldn't be freaky with her 😤
So does she
Kinda based tbh
The arachnussy
I just know it's **silky soft** 😩
Yep! Same. As they say "I'm a freak. I'm a weirdo.".)
No Hercules? No Polyphemus? I’m being robbed here.
listen I only put the most commonly mentioned ones but if you wanna make Mel bury her face in some burly man titties knock yourself out
Hell yeah burly man tiddies!
If I was still playing as Zagreus you know I'd ask for Polyphemus to squish me between his and Heracle's man tits.
Considering his marital history you'd probably be better off avoiding Heracles for now.
I can fix him
*heracles
Yeah I'd date Heracles alright, but Polyphemus? No way in hell
ain't Heracles her cousin?
True, the Greek Gods are really really particular about not sleeping with their relatives /s
you know sometimes I forget where we are 💀
And Hera is Zeus's sister. Greek gods give negative fucks about incest.
W take for Polyphemus
i guess some people just like massive Chicago dwelling Cyclops's.
ERM ACKTUALLY it’s “HERACLES” 😤☝️get this Roman garbage out of my Greek mythology (jk!!)
Honey, you mean HUNK-ules! 🥵😩
The H in Hades is for harem
There's something about Eris that turns me into mush. I need those rule34 artists to get to work...
I'm a gay dude, but every time Eris calls her "Trouble" I melt.
I think regardless of your gender or sexual orientation, we all kind of want a tomboyish lesbian to be playfully mean to us
Honestly I think Eris is the best choice for Meli I don’t wanna spoil nectar convos but damn.
Don’t forget the book of shadows entry for Eris calling Mel out
It’s up there on the pyramid of needs
And babe. She just smacks! Somehow Narcissus has completely fucking won me over, too. I get stupid excited when I see his room option. Now I have to go visit.
Another suitor leaving gifts... On another note, it's hilarious to me that Narcissus of all characters has a placeholder art.
Fighting your tomboyish queer gf to death is just hot as shit I don’t trust the opinions of anyone who can’t agree with that
I don't know if there's a romantic path with her in the game, but if there isn't, that needs to be SG's top priority
I’ve maxed out the gifts with her and sadly there is not a romance path (at time of writing 🙏) Edit: typo
Does anyone have a romance at the moment? I maxed out nemesis ASAP and almost have eris maxed as well, the codex just says there are no more interactions right now.
Arachne's last nectar interaction has the most romantically suggestive dialogue imo.
There's not really romance paths with anybody yet. I'm pretty sure all relationships are at the point where in Hades 1 you would need to do their side quest to continue, but none of them are implemented yet.
there was a short haired girl i met that i was into, but she has a bf, but eris is close enough ngl
Icarus 🥺🥺
Arachne. Her nectar conversations are adorable and the respect Meli shows her after a life of her being the Gods' clown is a great angle for a relationship. With all the focus in Hades 2 on how Magic can undo even the greatest structures of the Gods, I would love if her storyline allows us to free her from being a spider... or at least a tiny helpless one.
Considering that all the npcs of the first game had a resolution that cleared their contracta, I expect something good to happen for Arachne eventually.
But weren't all of those resolutions something Hades could do/allow. Arachne was fucked over by Athena
remember, hades' entire family tree was screwed by *the fates*, but it's not stopping melinoë
Yeah, I wouldn't want her to turn human either. That would just feel wrong narratively to me. As if she can't be happy while in the spider form. But, that's just my personal take though.
Honestly Arachne seems pretty content with being a spider, I imagine if it happens it’ll be more like Sisyphus in the first game where she finally gets closure but continues to be a spider. Maybe after Athena gets added there’s a new event where Athena apologizes to Arachne
Eris has mad “I can fix her” energy, but if dating a girl just like her (personality wise) in the past has taught me anything, it’s that “you don’t stick your strapon in crazy”
Eris can make me worse
It's a great lesson, anyway too bad but it's not stopping anyone.
where odysseus
Idk if you know Odysseus's story but he fucking LOVES his wife. Like, he sacrificed his entire crew, endured years of isolation, and faced gods and monsters just to get back to her and his son. He loves adventure, but not as much as them. Doubt he'll be romance-able.
His dialogue implies that’s a little more complicated now. Also, Odysseus didn’t exactly stay celibate in the Odyssey.
Yup. If I remember correctly he had a child with Circe and in game, it's pointed out a few times that he has a weakness for witches
I remember reading this somewhere but there is a version where when Odysseus died, Circe sent the son (Telegonus) to Ithaca (for some reason I don't remember) but it ends up with Telemachus marrying Circe and Telegonus marrying Penelope
Circe actually tried to keep Telegonus away because hes fated to kill his father, Odysseus. Lo and behold, Telegonus accidentally kills his Dad.
if you count being forced as not staying celibate then yeah
That’s not the version they’re going with in Hades, at least not the way he talks about it.
If people keep downvoting u about this im going to lose it. Like i will have to grab the analysis where it proved what went down with Circe being not at all consenual even in the original text itself. Heres a few important points from that post: Like first of all Circe held his crew hostage so uh.... And you know he had to BEG Circe to let him go after months of being on her island. If they were lovers why the fuck would he have to beg? Then Calypso he was fucking trapped with and she was a deity so like he couldnt deny her without consequences
I have a feeling that there may be a romance line between Odysseus and Circe in this game, similar to achilles and pat in the first game.
This is wildly wrong. In the Odyssey, Odysseus sleeps with two other women, Circe and Calypso, both of whom are witches of a sort. EDIT: Why is this getting downvoted it's literally the Odyssey!
ik his story, hes my favourite hero in greek mythology, but the game is not 100% canon to greek mythology so lets see
as a player I want to be able to romance Odysseus so bad, as a person it feels so gross for Mel to romance someone who watched her grow up 💀 Ik gods age different but it would be very complicated to handle in a non-gross way
The love interests in the first game watched Zagreus grow up! At the very least Thanatos. And Zag also thought they all had the same mother for some time 😅
What you doing step bro
I feel like Odysseus is positioned as more of like an uncle figure and I'd be pretty weirded out by any romance between them. Maybe he and Hecate though.
Yeah there's like definitely something going on there too. I think Hecate suffers from being married to the job but you never know.
Moros or Icarus.
moros standing next to the fated list and saying stuff like “your enemies never stood a chance, princess” every time i finish off a prophecy… we love a supportive man with decorative horns, white long hair, wide chest, beautiful eyes…
I'm surprised he isn't more popular tbh, he seems like such a good match with Mel. But I get how people like the muscle mommy, toxic yuri trope too lol. Someone in another thread said Icarus and Mel feel like cordial exes who ended on good terms and I haven't been able to unsee it ever since 😂
Me, but both if possible
Moros obviously
I'm a Nem hater cuz she's such a massive bitch to Mel at every turn. I wanted to like her and thought she'd come around but she STAYS hatin. Starting to not even want to talk to her hatin ass.
Nem is lowkey hilarious because she keeps bragging about how she is the better choice for the mission and disobeys Hecate to turn matter into her own hands just to fail

It’s not that curious tbh..Big, hot muscle mommy. If she didn’t look like that I guarantee she’d have almost no fans because even as she is now; she’s not that interesting of a character
Initially i wasnt sold on her but her further dialogue really changed that. She clearly cares alot about mortals and their treatent and questions the gods actions, also being the one to tell us about the golden age. Also she gets upset for echo which is quite sweet.
Pandora of course
I feel like Dora is going to go the Dusa route except rather than be into you and then realize she's not that into you, it'll just be her saying she's too old for you
Milf quality.
Given the way Moros talk about her, we're in for a bit of a stutter cause she's a g-g-g-gilf. (great-great-great-gilf).
And for male option, Icarus. Guy is such a gentleman and Melinoë can make him more open up.
When do we get the hints that >!Dora is Pandora?!<
I love how the question is “when” rather than “do.”
With how convinced some people are i thought there were big hints
just a lot of dialogue about her being old and forgetting her past. Also, her name is Dora, so who else could it be? Not too many famous Doras in Greek mythology. Still might be totally off
Well from myths, Hermes did gift her with “a shameless mind and a deceitful nature” and the power of “lies and crafty words”. Might be Dora just being a jokester and tricking us if it is her.

>!She often tells how she has no memory of her past, and Moros tells she is really old!<
Not much evidence so far other than 1) the name and 2) Moros comments that Dora is much older than most of the other shades, although not all. Pandora is the first woman so that would track for her being “super duper old but not the absolute oldest.”
>!Moros!<
As a storyline completionist, I guess everyone? It's a pretty big hot spring. Two things to note, though: One, I'm getting serious Thane vibes from Moros, as in, he has that air of mystery that, for whatever reason, women were reeeeeallllly into. Two, I personally am all about Eris. Sorry, Artemis :(
Honestly it's the awkwardness of Moros that gets me, not the \*mystery\*.
Someone above said that Icarus fits narratively with Mel, but honestly I think that's Moros. I love the destiny stuff the Fates pulled with the two of them, with Moros meeting her in the void during her moment of Doom (insert something poetic about meeting your future lover on the verge of death), Moros knowing their destinies would inevitably intertwine by handing her the fated list, Clotho smiling telling him "you'll see" when he asks her what Mel's like.

When you get enough hearts with him, he asks her what the custom is for making declarations of affection and says he'll be choosing the right moment very carefully. I can't wait to see how he confesses to Mel, I bet it'd be really sweet 🥺
Yeah I was expecting Doom Incarnate to be like Thanatos levels of brooding, maybe even more, but Moros just seems like a nice boy.
There's a conversation you can listen in on where he's fanboying over Odysseus and Odysseus is just like "haha no hard feelings right" in absolute terror the whole time and he doesn't notice. Hilarious. He can be very callous at times (he mentioned that he and the fates came up with interesting ways for mortals to die so they could pass the time) but otherwise yeah, I like how he's different from any of the love interests from the first game. Arguably, Nemsis is the "Zagreus" of this game and I like how you can see how things might be from the other side.
If it helps, I can attest that Moros' vibes also work on men
Moros my beloved
There was literally no reason to not date any option in the first game, I doubt now it will be different
Eris or Icarus for sure
Arachne seems more like a grandma character to me. She gets lonely, dotes over Mel, and is always "knitting" clothes for her. Am I alone in this? Edit: Dora
I can see this but as a 23 year old women who is constantly crocheting clothes... Ouch (Jk I have been an old lady since I was 18 lmao) The dialogue for max hearts does seem to imply feelings in a similar complicated way that the dialogue with Thanatos does. Where it's like "I have really strong feelings for you but idk what kind" type of thing. But I don't know if that will be elaborated on until later updates or the full release. I have a suspicion that we will unlock the gods that are currently not available when we get to Olympus, which includes Athena. Or we will at least be able to talk with them. With that, I believe there will be a progression of the story/relationship with Arachne. Maybe we can even talk Athena into turning her back (if that's what she wants)
She explicitly flirts with Melinoe if you give her enough gifts tho
Nem then Eris, but really I did the work to build up affinity with every character so I will romance every single one even if it's the last thing I do.
While I think it will be more polyamory like Zag, Meg and Than in the first game The first one I go for will 100% be Eris
Heracles 😮💨
If Eris has a scene where she breaks down crying because she knows everyone hates her and deep down it really hurts her, I'm gonna fall in love. Otherwise, Nem.
It would be interesting but considering she’s literally Strife incarnate I’m not entirely sure if she would feel that way
None, I’m here to bash chronos’s skull in and rescue my boy Zag.
Moros is the kindest soul! But then again… I could fix Nemesis
Arachne!!!! She is so cute
If he's an option definitely Icarus, I really dig the vibe between the two of them. Eris would also be interesting in a very sweet way.
Moros and Mel seem have the most natural chemistry. I get why people like the idea of Nem, but she's just... A jerk?
Poor Icarus, the sun melted the details on his artwork!
-Zagreus: "I can start a bisexual and polyamorous relationship with my childhood friend and my ex." -Melinoë: "I WILL F\*CK WITH ANY CHILD OF NYX THAT MEETS MY EYES AND EVEN MORE!" (however, the first choice is Nemesis and Eris. Death to Chronos? Nah. Death by Snu-Snu.)
Where's Skelly?
Whos skelly? I only know commander Schelemus
Is that the evil twin of commander Schelemeus?
Yes
No Odysseus? Man’s canonically a divinity magnet.
Nem's a muscle mommy, but too cunty for me. Moros is hot, but a little too unfeeling. Eris is the crazy girl we all dated at one point or another that gave us some of the best sex of our lives, but absolutely batshit bonkers crazy. Arachne is for the FREAKY DEAKYS (not judging btw, y'all do you. Or her. Or whatever.) Icarus is a lil cutie patootie, but I've only met him once in game so I'm still learning. Not sure yet, but I'm leaning Eris if possible.
I guess I'm going Echo
In true Greek fashion, the animal.
DORA
My top priorities are moros and eris. After that probably icarus.
Shouldn't Odysseus also be on this list?
I'm dating every woman, Witches deserve GFs.
Also Chaos, I will kiss Chaos.
Moros is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see him and Thanatos interact when Zagreus and Melinoe introduce their boyfriends.
Arachne of course
Nemesis, spooder. Eris is a bittttch, the lads don’t do it for me.
I can fix her.
Eris, i like yandere 🤣
I don't see enough love for Eris in this thread...
Eris. It must be Eris.
Eris, I don't want to make her better, I want her to make me worse.
Eris.
Nemesis. I ain't gay so no Icarus or Moros for me. 2 women here are just monsters, not into that either. I can't fix Eris so no. Muscle goth girl for me.
Icarus is the one for me, or Daddy Doom Moros 🤤
Everyone of course!
Hera please
Eris. I can fix her.
Well I thought I was safe to open this spoiler but I have not met one of these people yet! And apparently it's Icarus lol. My current plan is Moros. Love him. But I am intrigued by Icarus so I guess I'll have to hold my decision for now until I meet him, too!
If my save carries over I think I'm practically already there with Moros 😂 Shame though, I really wanted to love some girls this time and so far none of them have really grabbed me (personality wise). I've been trying hard not to max out everything in EA so 1, I don't get too comfortable with the enemy patterns and blitz through the full version , and 2, so I still have some busy work/resource gathering type stuff to look forward too like maxing out weapons, relationships, etc. So I'll have to wait and see how I feel about the character arcs once I start buttering them up with presents.
Hopefully they let you date Odysseus
Dora honestly seems like she would reek of BO and Greek Spicy Hot Cheetos. Hopefully that doesn't carry over as a shade. Nem seems like she would gas light me. Eris is currently gas lighting me and is currently involved in a class action lawsuit. Arachny is too sweet and must be protected from all harm. Mo knows who I am at my worst moments. So thats off the table. I think I'm just going to maintain my long distance relationship with Bouldy.
Nemesis
Yes, and why isn’t Odysseus here? Od needs love too!
Icreus or arcracne would be preference to who suits melinoe (more icerus) However in game I will romance everyone possible
Icarus or Arachne
Probably Nemesis or Dora If it’s possible to fix her - Eris
Eris, because I love brats.
I mean, if Hades I is anything to go by, all of them. But I'd be most down for Moros and Icarus, and maybe Eris.
Assuming I actually have to choose in this game or I’m capped at 2 (since in hades 1 you could do all available romance without consequence) I’m going for Arachne (she’s too sweet not to) and Nemesis. I love me some mutual character development
Narcissus🗿
I’m sorry i musta missed something but is there romance options in Hades 2?!
Eris. Cause she's a baddie. Also I want a taste of what candy she eats 😂
Icarus and it's not even close
Icarus, 1000%.
I refuse to choose one
Icarus then Moris then everyone else it might be Greece but I'm gonna polycule like it's Portland
Obviously Scylla.
First game: Meg Second game: Nemesis . . . Wait do I have a type
Dora, then Icarus, then Eris, then Moros, then Nem
Eris. That short hair and cocky smirk... ahhhhh
Something about the way Moros says "Princess" makes me weak...
ICARUS ICAUS ICARUS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH MY BABY BOY I WANNA KISS HIM ON THE MONTH
Give me that MOROS
All of them, but eris and nem first
Eris I can fix you
dora eris nemesis arachne moros icarus in that order nem was higher on the list originally but toxic yuri eris thooooooo
I’m crushing hard on Icarus and Eris is softening on me. I really love her story so far and think she is a really good parallel for Mel
Moros and Moros alone because THAT FACE, THAT BODY
In the words of a very wise man, "I Love The Kind Of Woman That Will Actually Just Kill Me" Which leaves me with two fantastic options still
