I wonder why she’s resistant to the thought of Melinoe viewing her as akin to a mother? Persephone was nothing but grateful to Nyx for being there for Zag when she couldn’t, I doubt her feelings for Hecate in this situation would be much different. Perhaps it has something to do with her perspective as an immortal. To Melinoe, Hecate has been taking care of her for her whole life, but from Hecate’s perspective Chronos’ occupation and her time with Melinoe have only been going on for the godly equivalent of a week.
These points could be valid ^ It’s an interesting comparison. Hecate has no children, so perhaps she felt inferior or some imposter syndrome to Persephone and Mother Nyx. And especially Nyx who had many children and also raised Zagreus. Hecate may have also felt guilty for Chronos taking over the House, and Mel not having a “proper mother” because of her. Instead, Hecate raised Mel to be a killing machine.
Gonna be honest, Hekate comes off as kind of suspicious. She's an inversion of Hades, so supportive and sure of Mel that she puts a ton of pressure on her (that even she acknowledges). Plus...we don't know the whole of what went down between her and the House of Hades. And I'm not sure I buy why she didn't tell Demeter about Mel. (Maybe this is just because Eris comes off to me like someone who knows something Mel (and the player) doesn't, and despite her shit attitude I think Nem is right not to trust her implicitly; is Hekate especially leery of Nem because she might be deserving of some retribution?) And then there's Doom incarnate coming to stay at the Crossroads, as if they're up to something there that mustn't be carried out... I don't necessarily think she's up to anything deliberately nefarious, but I could see a disagreement with her Headmistress being a part of Mel's character development, culminating in a more brutal round 2 fight with her. Or that could just be me seeing things that aren't there. It's fun to think about.
Yes I see some sort of confrontation over sone disagreements too, but it is sad to see Melinoe being raised by a single mom, but it is nice to see Hecate trying to be a mom for her....
You’re arguments are sound and I agree with them all basically. Hecate may be telling the truth about not notifying Demeter, but she does not clarify when Nemesis spoke out of line. I don’t think Hecate is malevolent either, but she’s withholding information Mel would’ve liked to know. A future interaction in a fight when the bomb blows is what I’m waiting for. Nemesis I figured would have her moment, Eris is a peculiar one. She specifically says she’s helping, but also doesn’t want Chronos to die lmao. Explain Eris!!!
hecate strikes me as the classic trope of a jaded or morally gray character acting as a foster parent for a much kinder, deceased loved one's child-- trying very hard to give them the life they would've had if their family was alive, but unable to fully make them happy because they can't get over their grief, or they have some past agenda that they can't simply let go of
It's made pretty clear because she needed some time establish a base and train Melinoe up. Demeter would have gone on a warpath immediately and blow their cover.
25:44 this confirms Hecate is not a goddess but a Titaness. Only confirming for myself, since I thought both her and Selene were goddesses, but in this game, they’re Titanesses which aided the Olympians against Chronos the first time and now aiding Melinoe for round 2
@@matthewclokus7311 Nope you got it. Hecate and Selene (titanesses) and Melinoe and Artemis (goddesses). There's Hermes also working with them, but I don't think he's considered Silver Sister
There's a good amount for Hypnos, a rather short one. I don't mind putting it together for you if I still have the clips. I'm limiting this interactions series to technical testing for now because, oh boy, I'm starting to get lost haha. There's also a Hypnos interaction that deserves to be out.
@@melissagarcia1705 Ya haha, I'd rather just play the game rn. But I also love the game enough to put these out. My issue is storage space since I merely have a laptop. Anyways, I can ship you a Hypnos my homie.

She's just allergic to praise in general. She got offended when Hades expressed gratefulness for saving Melinoe.
maybe she is just horny about her social role as a servant of Nyx and therefore hates the idea of being seen as someone as important as her superiors

@@Hamstir4 you really expect the greek goddess of shit-stirring to give a straight answer? 😆

Right, I sometimes generalize the Silver Sisters being goddess, but that's not true. half of them are titanesses ^
@@Hamstir4 so the Silver Sisters are Melinoe, Hecate, Selene, Artemis, and ?

@@Hamstir4 just making sure thanks
Wenduag my beloved ♥️🕷️
and Nyrissa in PF:Kingmaker :D Aside from the obbvious BG3 narrrator :D
35:25 you can also use your familiar to block the morph, which also has its own dialogue
I found that out recently, Frinos is such a good boy! The morph interactions are very expansive.
I was looking exactly for that one! Since it's one of Hecate's interactions, I thought that I'd be able to find something on it here
@@zyrevelvrein2388 if you’re referring to Frinos block, that’d be specifically during Early access sadly.
@@Hamstir4 The video is still pretty good! There's some really wholesome and interesting interactions
Artemis interations!!! 🗨
I love Artemis too! I'll say, there's not much as the last videos, but I can put together what I have.
Great job ! I love these videos. I was wondering, is there enough meterial for a Hypnos video ? I know he can be given some Nectar.
