The Good Doctor Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Radahn is the Lord of W’s. Man does literally nothing wrong. -Best fighter? Check -Best leader? Check -Compassionate? Check -Resistant to the incestuous creepiness of his family? Big Check Dude qualifies for "might makes right" AND "moral high ground". Not to mention works harder and suffers more than anyone yet never once complains unlike all his bitchy siblings. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 @ColonelKillaBee I found that Iris of Occultation yesterday but didn’t try it out. Has anyone used it yet? Is there a down side? Because spending all held runes to activate a Great Rune is like… retardedly powerful. There has to be a caveat. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, there’s a lot I haven’t seen. What I do know is that Radahn was opposed enough to Miquella that he fought a war against his champions. And considering that Miquella bewitches people, I don’t know if we can assume anything Radahn did in his favor as confirmation that he was "fine" with it. See: Mohg. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before the great rune business gave him the ability to it: by all accounts it was when they were very young. You witness a flashback at the end of his fight from Radahn's perspective, with Miquella talking to Radahn about there promise. It's also referenced numerous times by different characters. His boss title is even "Promised Consort" Radahn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m getting from this is that Miquella felt he was owed. Which seems to be a running flaw of his character. He feels that his kindness makes him entitled to the love and loyalty of others, to such an extent that he will eventually force people to do it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy we all thought to be his greatest victim was actually the one who victimized him. Crazy twist. Next DLC will be the Dung Eater backstory, where we learn that he is actually a pretty nice guy. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the evidence that Sir Ansbach gives her, Freyja affirms that Radahn made the promise at some point. Though she decides that being able to resurrect Radahn as an "immortal God of War" - that will butcher battlefields for eternity what he would want - and decides to support Miquella to see her lord revived, so she's a little batshit too... I think the many confirmations, makes me believe we can take Miquella's word on this. However, we don't know the context behind it. I still think it's super gay (and kind of fucked up) to make a promise to your twink HALF BROTHER that you'll marry him someday. Then again...royal, godly family.

Miquella is a hermaphrodite and their purpose, the empyrians is simply to be a baby machine for the greater will, so even if he did agree its not really "gay" like you're thinking. It's not a sexual thing at all in the traditional sense, they would become one being. If anything the entire process is kinda weird, fusing with a woman and becoming her sounds also pretty gay to me lol so either way you are fucked.

The Good Doctor Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 I don’t think it’s especially weird that young Radahn would be set up as young Miquella’s consort back in the day when things were normal. That seemed to just be part and parcel with the way they did things. I also don’t think it’s very strange that Radahn would’ve agreed (though I’m not sure he wasn't manipulated to by Miq) because he was the most loyal and dutiful of them all. But as far as judging Radahn’s character goes, actions speak louder than words, and at some point or another he did say "screw this" and fought a defensive war against Miquella and had to be killed and resurrected as a thrall in order to go through with the "promise". I agree with Colonel that this counts for a lot more than something he may have said centuries ago, for unknown reasons and under unknown context. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
