![]() ![]() > As for the blinding aura on Abaddon: that didn't exist in the lore in GW1, it was added to the lore with GW2, and Anet never went back to add it in (as is oft the case for their treatment of old gameplay). And as I pointed out, this is not the case at all with the gods. If you want to go with the colloquial variant that is enough to describe some characteristic features of a face, I have zero problems with it, but the word foremost implies an intensional definition, which must have been fulfilled by all of the individuals described by the word. I am afraid we use very different definitions of the word defined here. We don't need something in writing for it to be defined. > When four+ gods show the same set of characteristics, despite being drastically different entities, they are defined rules. But all of the “few” samples we have, we can see that what most characters seem to think about what happens to the soul after it is consumed by a demon is wrong. Granted, we can’t prove that demons can’t devour souls at all with time or even that it takes all demons a certain amount of time for doing so this way. So, the idea of immediate destruction of the soul is disproven in every case we tested it, while not once we can see that a soul is lost forever. And this was indeed not the case for every demon we could test it with. Granted, the word immediately was never used, but if he knew the process to take such long amount of time, his fear would be rather unfounded, as it were not impossible for a stronger spirit to come around and solve the problem. I referred to what even knowledgeable characters seem to think about what happens to a soul, as seen as with The Judge: More or less immediate destruction of the soul. But even if X Soul doesn't show up, how do we prove it isn't just a case of "Oh, X Soul was actually in Z Demon after all". #Shining blade soul magic gw2 free> The only way to really disprove the notion is to be told that X Soul was devoured centuries ago by Y Demon, and we kill Y Demon and free X Soul who's perfectly fine. that we witness being freed were devoured. We have no way to know just how long ago those souls the Eater of Souls, etc. There's zero reason to believe they function at all the same. Demons and scarabs may function differently when they devour souls for all we know, as one is a Tyrian born creature while the other is a creature born from malignant energies in the Mists. With the exception of the Family Matters quest in GW1, all named souls we rescue were recently devoured and in the case of the Family Matters quest, it isn't a demon we kill but a scarab. > I wouldn't say the few times we kill a demon to let souls out is disproving the notion at all. My quote was taken from the quest about a scarab, but I don’t see any reason for it not also applying to demons. At this point, being eternally trapped inside a demon does not only sound far crueller to me (befitting a demon), but also more likely. Why not show us that there were indeed no souls left, only rough energy? It seems suspicious at the very least. For example: The judge claims that a soul devoured by the Eater of Souls will simply vanish – but again, we can rescue them all. I would think there were enough opportunities to show us that souls can’t be rescued at a certain point by now. There are zero examples of it happening (I will ignore Dhuum here for obvious reasons). I would dare to say that while people ingame think that this is true, it might simply not be the case. Yes, we are constantly told that…just for it to be disproven time and time again. ![]()
