Then, why not risk it all, again? Am I to risk it all? Why should I? For my own sake, at his own expense? Doubtless he drank already from the Lethe, and forgot. Would I have done the same?

This is one of the things I fell in loce with Hades's lore, THE DIALOGUES. It just fells so, subtle, sensible, how their voices are just trembling with emotion, how Zagreus is just so soft when he cares. The hurt in Achilles voice when he tells about Troy and the end of the war... Dialogues are just making me fall in love with every single character.

He's polite, charming, respectful and eloquent. He's also very calm and straight to the point, never minces his words, not even with Hades. He treads a line with Hades sure, but he's pretty justified in feeling the way that he does and I think it's that he approaches even Hades with a certain level of respect, never losing it even as Hades raises his voice time and time again.

The writing of this game is so good that each run doesn’t feel like a grind but more like waiting the next dialogue of your fav characters Oh and after playing this game I bought the audiobook “The songs of Achilles” it’s really good

[@user117-ella]

Patroclus' voice is exactly how I imagined it while reading TSOA

[@ValentinoMarino11]

Wow these guys seem like really great friends.

[@dreammmdj3841]

This video is a back and forth of “oh hello how is my husband doing? Say hi to him if you see him”

[@AnidemNatalie]

Image how patroclus reacted to seeing achilles suddenly in elysium like achilles is tears running to his long lost lover with kisses and hugs

[@maddie2724]

tsoa tore me apart but this put a little bandaid on the wound lol

[@bathestyles6525]

22:37 hell yes I’m thanking you; do you have any idea how many runs you’ve saved by refreshing all my death defiances

[@gustavt6493]

Thank you so much, my heart really gasped in this wholesome story. I really loves it and them, thank you very much once again 🙇‍♂️❤️

"its about damn time" bro speaks for the fandom

[@plutonianshores13]

Okay around 20:50 can we talk about how Achilles said “he simply said my name” he sounds overcome with emotion sjsjdkdkd 😭😭😭

[@Waywren]

thank you thank you THANK YOU i've always wanted to see this entire arc and never managed it (i'm too arthritic to play the game myself, for all i love it, and none of the playthroughs i've seen has ever finished it, however complete they claim to be). This is a true gift and I just died of happiness so many times. Zagreus is a Good Boy.

[@instinctfan23]

Even if it was hella rocky, but Zag's definitely an ace matchmaker.
