Who really is Gaunter O'Dimm??

[Non canon]

im just curious??

[W]

A merchant of mirrors

[GuillermoamoroS]

He is God.
Gaunter O'Dimm , just look to the capital letters. He can do anything and whatever he wants when he wants.
He is GOD or maybe just the representation of Evil.
You chose.

[MimisS]

He is suuposed to be teh Devil. He makes people's wishes come true but there is catch. There is always a catch. If you are not convinced, he also wants to take your soul sooooo.

[EvilDonut]

He is not god.

He is the Devil.
His very name is probably an arrogant mockery, nothing more than that.
He is evil, there's no doubt about that.

The devil himself always claims himself to be a God, but he is not. He is far from being allmighty, and in fact you can defeat him.
So, definitely, he is not a God.
The name he chose is probably just a show of power. Or, even more likely, just a mockery from CDPR.

It's never explicitly stated by an authority. The guy who studied him called him Evil Incarnate but that is probably hyperbole.

I like the idea that he is a rogue Djinn, the wishes make sense in that context. Others see him through a lense of religion and forget that our religions aren't present in the game world.

It should really be taken one step further, his initials spell "GOD" but he is also the master of mirrors, so whats the reflection, or opposite of god?

Rationalism.

Rationalism.

That is such a general term and you give little detail or context. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I wad thinking of the enlightenment and the rationalist movements, they peaked for a time in the 70's when someone published "God is dead". Though there was a counter cultural movement here in the US to spiritualism.

You may have been looking for an enemy figure or a simple "the devil" but at least according to Christian and Islamic mythos the devil is a creation of God, subservient to him. So can't be a mirror or an opposite.

However rational thought and atheism, those are opposite ideas. The two do not go togeather.

If you want to dig into it deeper I'm happy to have the conversation but it's a pretty significant derail here.

Well, there is the fact that an image in a mirror is subserviant to the object it is the reflection of.

I agree, that would be a derailment but it sounds like an interesting discussion. I'll shoot you a friend request if that would be alright with you (I'll send it if you reply in the affirmative).

As others have said, he is pretty much a demon. In-game the person who studies him so frequently almost to the point of worship says he is "evil incarnate". Not to be trifled with, thats for sure.

And GOD spelled backwards is DOG. What's your point? I don't recall any religious dogma ever espousing that God takes delight in shoving spoons in people's eyes or making pacts with them for their souls.

He's a demon. Please don't read more into that than there is.

The Gnostics believed in a pretty cruel god. Others have as well.

Sure thing, I like more friends.
