How do you like Melinoe compared to Zagreus?

[Sandy]

I feel like Zagreus was a lot more interesting. With significantly better writing.

Melinoe is very basic. She feels like a mary sue with nothing interesting going on about her personality.

[Discombobulating]

Zagreus was a lot more witty, Melinoe feels a bit flat and dry in comparison.

they are giving me the same vibe
very good person trying to be good and doesnt mind being aggressive/combative when need be with great writing

I like them both for different reasons. Zag made me laugh and his journey was inspiring. I like Mel because shes just...interesting. I want to know more about her and see her reach the end of her journey. They are two completely different characters in different cercumstances, expecting them to be the same is just silly.

I will say that Mel is absolutely not a Mary Sue though.

I skip all the dialogue in roguelites but she's much cooler than Zag in terms of abilities, less cool in terms of personality, and equally cool in terms of appearance/design. So I like her basically just as much.

Half of the Zeus damn game is dialogue bro wtf is wrong with you.

I am finding that a lot of the humor, dry wit, and snottiness that endeared me to Zag is missing with Melinoe. I am sure she will get better as the game goes on, but the game is trying really hard to make her "cool" instead of a character, so far.

So far I'd say I prefer Zagreus but that's mostly because I enjoyed the writing in the first game a lot more overall. It was way more humorous in general so the interactions between Zagreus and the other characters usually brought a smile to my face, there is nothing like that in this game as of yet (the weird ghost greeting you instead of Hypnos doesn't even come close to Hypnos). And it's not exclusive to Melinoe, I got the Duo Boon of Hestia and Zeus and Zeus was basically rambling about how great it is to be a parent and he feels sorry for Hestia for not having any children. Where are my witty god exchanges?
But I guess it makes sense that this one is more serious given the different story setups.

[Yerc2]

I felt that the first game had a goofier and more charismatic vibe to it, which I preferred.
But I wouldn't say that dialogue or interactions played a big part in either of the games for me, so it's not really that big of a detriment IMO.

Hades 1 Zag had literally NO dialogue when it came out in EA. You people are actually negative IQ lmao

[The Hungry Werewolf]

She's different, and I'm ok with that. There are a few similarities, they're siblings after all, but she feels like her own character and her own person, and that's great. I really hate it whenever a game or a show or anything really just does "the same character, but girl/man". That's redundant, unnecessary, and clearly just done to fill in the different gender quota. This game isn't one of those, though. Far from it actually. Really solid, and even the gameplay reflects that she has a different fighting style and power set. Even the boons that are similar do slightly different things for her, so yeah. I like her, and I'm man enough to admit that.

I'd say that Melinoe is more stoic and mature than Zagreus, who is more of the rebellious type considering how he was raised. For Melinoe she's had a positive upbringing with Hecate , yet most of her life dedicated to killing Chronos.

The stakes between the two games are different with Zagreus being a more personal one yet having no grander threat while for Melinoe both the fate of the Greek Gods and her family are on the line.

Shes a proper princess of the underworld. Just cause shes a chick means nothing. Shes not as quippy and whatever but shes a proper lady who kicks ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass

[Poki]

She's very boring and tame.
Zagreus had that untamed rebellion which was very fun since he was against his father.

But since this time is a woman figure in charge, Hecate, then Melione is a meek tame student who just wants to please her and get stronger.
Even her fight against her "superior" is boring, while Hades dies in a gruesome pool of blood, Hecate just dresses up again and pushes her to move on.

[Kitten Shady]

Just like you don't like. Just as strong.
Have you already completed the entire game to judge her character? Really all of it??
I mean seriously - there is an incredible amount of story (text) in this game.
If I didn’t like the first game and just passed by, I could absolutely easily say that Zag is mary sue too, because he’s just another "cool dude superhero with a sword".

[morsdood]

Mel is cooler

[Sylvanas]

hate her ♥♥♥♥♥ face and tight personality
