    I like the way some of Kratos dad tales have some connection to his old life:
    Tortoise and hare story: Greek pantheon era Kratos was the hot-headed and overconfident hare, which caused to him all the suffering he has faced. While the Norse Era Kratos was the disciplined tortoise and his life now is more peaceful as a result.
    Horse and Hunter: Kratos, the horse called for the hunter, Ares to kill all his enemies but enslaved him as his perfect warrior.
    Mother and son crab: The way I see it, this could be more recent about Kratos and Atreus. Kratos tries to teach him to the man he wants him to be but Kratos himself has a lot of self hatred and doubt.
    The mother and the thief: I feel that this one represents Athena's love and support for Kratos but he ends up betraying her, not knowing about the consequences that led to the downfall of the Pantheon
    The woodsman and the trees: The Greek gods granted Kratos god powers after letting him kill their youngest tree, Ares. Kratos ends up killing all the other gods with their powers

      I think not. Kratos is old now. He had time to think about his actions and the people he killed, including Icarus. of course i know Kratos don't regret killing these kind of people but, pretty sure he had time to meditate and think about ther people's words. I mean, he could tell a story about a man who made wings for himself and his son to escape a prison. His father told him no to fly to close to the sun and etc. The point is, Kratos had enough time to think about his enemie's words. Thats what i think

    Atreus: You got any other stories?
    Kratos: *Scoffs*
    Very well, there was a tale of the two warriors.
    the warriors were brothers and they were taken to a training camp at a young age, so they could prepare themselves to become great warriors. The eldest brother, took care and looked after his younger brother. Sparing with him and teaching him the ways of war. But would do so in cruel ways, because of this. The yongest brother would grow some resentment towards his brother.
    The yongest brother was born with a strange birthmark, and it was foretold that a marked warrior would over throw the king who ruled over the nation. After hearing this prophecy. The King was informed that a young child at a training camp had the same birthmark, so the king then ordered that the marked soilder who was training at a the camp, be taken and brought to him. Two of the best Ravengers in the lands. A male and female, kidnaped the younger brother.
    Atreus: What happened next?
    Kratos: The eldest brother tried to save his younger brother from the ravengers. But he was easily swatted away. Leaving a scar on his eye. Filled with grief, saddness, and shame. He had his youngest brothers birthmark tattooed onto his body. And vowed vengeance for his brother. He continued his training under the kings gaurd. Not knowing that his brothers kidnapping was the kings doing. And became the greatest warrior in all the lands! And after decades of service to the king. He discovered the truth...
    Atreus: What was it?
    Kratos: That younger brother had been imprisoned by the king, and was protected by the kings mightiest warrior. Once the oldest brother learned this. He went on to find his brother. free him and work together to take down the mighty warrior...
    Atreus: So... Did the brothers kill the mighty warrior?
    Kratos: Yes, they did. But the youngest brother was mortally wounded in the battle, and died shortly afterwards...
    Atreus: Wow... That must've been heartbreaking for the eldest brother, huh?
    Kratos: Yes... It was...

    Kratos talks to Atreus like he was a spartan child, so as stern as he speaks, it's obvious he loves Atreus through the lessons and stories he tried to tell. You can tell how much a parent loves their child by the wisdom and knowledge they try to hand down, no matter the amount. And even more, you can tell he loves Atreus by just how he learns to tell stories after he listens to Atreus' critiques.

    I love the story about the old trees and the boy who was loved too much. One story is about the old generation that refuses to pass on what they have and know to the new generation and suffer for it, which can be seen as Kratos speaking about parents who metaphorically devour their children. And the other is about Freya/Baldur, and tbh, a lot of children nowadays who only know love and validation and encouragement, and nothing of consequences or failure. But it catches up with everyone eventually. This game is SO good!

    @pteraptosaurus Před 2 lety +3

    One thing I love about these interactions is the subtle character insights.
    Many have pointed out that the tale of the Thief and the mother is reflective of Baldur and Freya. Atreus is horrified and cant comprehend such a relationship bc of how well Faye raised him with both love and discipline. It is a foreshadowing to his reaction to Baldur's attempt at Freya's life at the end.
    But this is followed up with the Tale of the crabs. And notably, Atreus interrupts and finishes the story for Kratos. Because he already knows this one: it's representative of his relationship with his father. Kratos, a cold and aggressive man, is trying to teach his son to be compassionate and tempered, and Atreus is frustrated because he naively sees it as Kratos being hypocritical, like the mother crab.
    Really just wonderful writing all around
