At this point, I think it's pretty likely he'll make the field without any help, and my appeal to Hades is much the same as yours -- I like it, but not enough to think that giving him a bump in seeding is worth the guru nom to me. I enjoyed Hades, and Zag would be a very respectable and solid pick that I think most people could feel good about, but the game doesn't have enough personal clout for the return on investment.

Who knows. Maybe I'll rediscover the game in a few months and have a Renaissance. I have a very temporary answer for who my current selection is, but my reasons for it will likely be invalidated before a contest gets announced, and I'll be back to searching for an answer...which could be Zagreus. /shrug

Haha yeah the notion that it doesn't have enough 'personal clout' makes sense to me. Like, I think Zagreus would be a really cool character to see in the character battle, but would he actually be the one choice I would want to force into the contest if I could? I dunno. I am kinda curious to see how he'd do in a character battle - I think he might have been more interesting if we had a character contest in the last year or so, while the iron was still hot, but by the time we get another contest in like 2025 or whatever I kinda doubt he'll be much more than fodder. I don't know if he would have been above the fodder line to begin with but it would have been interesting to find out.
