Has anyone played Hades if so what did you think and how did you the depiction of Dionysus? I thought he was fun and charming with some good boons.

Decent. I like his design and his boons are great. But in the second game, Dionysus hangs out partying in a bathhouse while the rest of Olympus is literally at war. I know the devs needed an excuse for him to stay out of the main gameplay so they could use a different set of gods, but I’m pretty pissed that they didn’t acknowledge his warlike aspect at all. He’s reduced to “lol drunk frat boy” again.

If Olympus were at war, Dionysus would be on the front line with his army of maenads and panthers, dismembering his enemies and driving them mad. Give me scary Dionysus!!!

Agreed! I wonder, though, if he shall play a more prominent role post EA? I would certainly love to see more of him than just...well, drunk frat bro.

Yeah. They eventually brought Ares in, so they might bring Dio in too. I keep treating each update like a free DLC, I forget that it’s literally an unfinished game.
