Divinity 2 Joining The God King

Okay, so picture this: you're a Sourcerer. Not like, a guy who makes sour candy (although that would be a pretty sweet gig, right?). No, you're a Sourcerer in the world of Rivellon, from the incredibly addictive game Divinity: Original Sin 2. You're dodging Voidwoken, chatting with undead pirates, and generally trying not to get eaten by giant, sentient slugs. Normal Tuesday, basically.

Then, BAM! You hear whispers. Dark whispers. Whispers about a guy called… the God King. Cue dramatic music!

Who IS This God King, Anyway?

Right, so the God King. He's basically the ultimate bad dude in Divinity lore. He's the leader of the Eternals, those fancy-schmancy immortal beings who, surprise surprise, aren't exactly playing nice with everyone else. He’s less “benevolent ruler” and more “interdimensional tyrant with a penchant for soul-sucking.” Think Sauron with better cheekbones (probably).

And here's the kicker: He wants YOU. He wants you to join his merry band of… well, not-so-merry minions. He sees potential in your Sourcerer-ness, your ability to manipulate Source, that magical juice that makes everything in Rivellon go boom. He thinks you'd be a swell addition to his plans for, shall we say, universal domination. (Spoiler alert: It involves a lot of screaming.)

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Why would I ever join a guy who makes Voldemort look like a cuddly teddy bear?" Good question! Let's delve into the delightfully devilish reasons why someone might consider hopping on the God King’s bandwagon.

The Allure of Ultimate Power (and Maybe a Free T-Shirt?)

Let’s be real: power is tempting. The God King is offering you a fast track to godhood. No more struggling against the Voidwoken; you'd be practically immune! No more getting your butt kicked by those ridiculously overpowered crocodiles on the beach (seriously, who programmed those things?!). You'd be on the top of the food chain, chowing down on the souls of your enemies. Okay, maybe not chowing literally, but you get the idea.

Think of the perks! Unlimited Source! Undying loyalty (or at least, fear-induced compliance) from your followers! The ability to finally win that argument with Lohse about whose turn it is to carry the bedrolls! (Okay, maybe not that last one, but a guy can dream.)

And let's not forget the sheer, unadulterated fun of being evil. Cackling maniacally as you corrupt the land? Turning your enemies into chickens? Banning pineapple on pizza? The possibilities are endless!

But Seriously, What's the Catch? (Besides Eternal Damnation)

Okay, okay, let's pump the brakes on the evil aspirations for a second. There's always a catch, right? And with the God King, it's a doozy. You see, his power comes at a price: your free will.

Joining the God King isn't just about wearing matching uniforms and singing his praises (although, knowing him, there's probably a mandatory choir practice). It's about becoming a puppet, a mindless drone serving his every whim. Your thoughts, your desires, your love for Fort Joy's delicious stewed lizard… all gone, replaced by the God King's agenda.

You basically become a walking, talking, Source-wielding advertisement for the God King's brand of tyranny. And let's be honest, nobody wants to be a billboard for evil, no matter how shiny the billboard is.

Also, there's the whole "angering literally everyone you've ever cared about" thing. Your companions? They'll probably try to stop you. The Divine Order? They'll definitely try to stop you. Even those annoying seagulls in Driftwood will probably take a peck at you. Being evil is a lonely business, folks.

So, Should You Join the God King?

Ultimately, the decision is yours. It's a classic Faustian bargain: power in exchange for your soul (and possibly your sanity). Do you crave absolute control, even if it means sacrificing everything that makes you… well, you?

Or will you stand against the God King, fighting for freedom and the fate of Rivellon? It's a tough call. Just remember to save your game before you make your choice. You know, just in case you regret becoming a soulless puppet. No judgment here… unless you start banning pizza toppings. Then we’re going to have a problem.

Besides, there's always New Game Plus, right? You can always try being evil next time…
