    About Video Game Sophistry:
    Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
    Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple CZcams show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a CZcams destination. Welcome to VGS.

    I like how the Norse mythological people and gods are more agile and skinnier, leaner and more kinda like hipster than the Greek ones, which were all about muscle and strength and pure brute force.
    Take, for example, the idea of craftspeople, in the previous games, we had, Hephestus, this big ugly brute. Now we have these two dwarves, who can do just the same in the same amount of time, yet they seem to be more the norm and not just this one big all mighty god. Kinda puts Hephestus to shame

      Umm kratos cannot find the blade of Olympus in the norse mythology it's power would be useless on that mythology because Olympus has been destroyed the power of the blade of Olympus is limited meaning it's destruction power depends on the power of Olympus therefore it's power would be no more it would be as useless as any other giant swords although some of its power is still in tact many of the Olympus artifacts can be formed and crafted to return the power of the blade of Olympus but most likely Atrues will find the blade of Olympus

    • @glazcanon8593

      Wouldn't that mean that the blades of chaos lose some of their power as well seeing as how they were forged (or enchanted) with Olympian magic? Also, isn't Kratos's divine powers the thing that powers the blade of Olympus, so it should still have the same amount of destructive power?
      On a side note, If Atreus did get the blade of Olympus, wouldn't he have to travel to Greece to get the blade if Kratos decided to tell him (I doubt it though).

    7:18 at this point there are a lot of theories about why Kratos was able to kill the sons of Thor so easily. Also why they did not raise after they were killed. Well, the venom from the world serpent is what killed Odin's bloodline. In this scene, you can see when the world serpent spits the Leviathan axe back to Kratos in the boat. You see where I am going with this. Is it hard to believe that the leviathan axe was imbued with the venom of the serpent? Every giant knew the axe was made for Faye. This would be an unmistakable weapon to any of the gods. So this is me saying that this axe will be used to kill Odin's bloodline. The real question is who will be the one to strike the final blow? Loki?

    • @BitrateBilly

    What I find interesting, is while killing the greek pantheon had pronounced effects on the world, I think killing the Norse one wont do as much damage based on ragnaroc, it will be different of course, also considering loki in the legends relationship with the world snake, I'd bet money next game hes getting a puppy

    This hits harder when you realize the reason he is so protective of the Axe is because is one of the few things he has left to remember his wife

    The storytelling is soooo good. I absolutely LOVE where they are taking this series..
    Which is ironic, as when it was first unveiled, I was very very weary of them taking it to Nordic mythology. It has improved the story so much. I like older, calmer kratos.
    I do wonder how different pantheons of gods could exist at the same time in the world..
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Maybe the different gods control only their country.. explaining how kratos ruined Greece but Scandinavia is safe.
    Would love any info I can get on these questions..
    Please and thank you.

      Perhaps the flood they mentioned came from the events where kratos killed poseidon

      And maybe.. just maybe the draugr is the souls released when kratos killed hades

    I just realized that it plays the leitmotif of the giants during the first meeting with Jormungandr, and again when Sindri mentions Faye for the first time.
    Those are some neat little hidden spoilers.

    Are you going to upload every Brok's dialogue every time you visit his ship some time later? I just love conversations with Brok throughout the game xD
