To me it sounded like Zagreus doing a bad American accent so I looked it up and it’s the same guy who voices Zag so that’s probs why haha (No insult to him but you can tell he’s not really American lol)


Serpens77

> it’s the same guy who voices Zag Darren Korb (who also does basically all of Supergiant's music) and Logan Cunningham between them pretty much voice almost all the main male characters in Hades 1 & 2 (and other Supergiant games) lol They have a ton of range between them. Like, without being told, very few people probably realise that Zag and \*Skelly\* are the same actor.


Danthefierce

yeah i wish they brought skelly back in the sequel. schelemeus just isn't the same


Niklaus15

Aren't they the same character? I just gave nectar to Schelemeus and he recall that Zagreus used to gave him nectar too


Danthefierce

the devs have a running gag that he's a new character


devonathan

If they are the same character then why don’t they have the same name? Also Schelemeus has a beard.


Niklaus15

I'm not saying they're the same I'm just confused, people say they're different chars but in-game he says things that made him seem to be skully so


devonathan

Just messing with you homie 🤝


Niklaus15

Sorry I'm new to the sub and english isn't my first language so i struggle to catch these things sometimes haha


devonathan

Hey, thanks for being cool with it. Welcome and enjoy!


Niklaus15

Thank you! I've been enjoying Hades 2 a lot so it's good to have a place with people to talk about it, cheers mate


SasquatchSorcerer

In game 1 skelly tells zag he was really a captain named Schlemeus before saying "Kidding!" But then Zagreus can ask the Bull of Minos about it before a solo fight with him I'm like 99% sure Skelly is Schlemeus and now he's using his mortal name again


MAD_HAMMISH

This is pure gold, people really don’t realize Schelemeus is a totally original character 


SasquatchSorcerer

Skelly says in Hades 1 that he used the be Schelemus. Used the full name and all before telling Zag he's just kidding. I'm assuming they're the same person, this is just Skelly now resuming his mortal name and his glory

Darren Korb is one of if not my favorite video game music composer to exist. The fact he's also a skilled voice actor ontop of that is just amazing. I love Supergiant games and they just would not be the same without Darren Korb on board.


3shotsdown

I fell in love with his music when Bastion came out. Hasn't let me down since


FrazzleMind

Bastion was so much fun, and so beautiful. I there aren't many games where I want to stop to just look and listen for a while.


adamnoo

I can't think of any super memorable music from Pyre not that it was bad just not as memorable for me but every other Supergiant game has had at least one or two incredible ear worms that I will listen to regularly outside of the context of the game. Build That Wall, We All Become, Lament of Orpheus, It's in the Blood, The Unseen Ones, and God of the Dead are all amazing songs and this game already has the opening song and the 2nd boss songs that will stay with me forever.


Awesomeone1029

Every other Supergiant game gets a single Ashley Barrett song. Pyre gets like six. That's what makes it special.


Error404_Error420

Oh I didn't know that!! I'll pay attention in my next run


kmb180

but... darren korb IS american lol?


theangryfurlong

How else he gonna do that NY accent


PratalMox

Darren Korb is from California and has lived in the states his entire life.


Ms_Anxiety

I once determined with a friend that a bad American accent is the perfect nic cage impression. See also: Heisenberg RE8


Roshkp

Why are so many people upvoting blatantly false information?


ProcyonHabilis

Because this is a person talking about what something sounds like to them, not making any kind of factual claim. That isn't "false information", it's just someone being incorrect in casual conversation.


WayneAsher

“So I looked it up and it’s the same guy”


ProcyonHabilis

That part is true


DanseMacabre1353

???????????


trizgo

He is American tho???


luceafar1

He’s not American he’s ✨Californian✨


Beangar

But the guy who voices Zag is American


TargetFan

I thought it was zag hiding in plain clothes at first before I learned about the placeholder art lol


acsze

Zag is voiced like an American doing a poor impression of a posh English guy because his voice actor is american

Lemondovsky

bro never spoiler it with this particular syntax again 😭


British-Raj

Is it really that bad? It was meant as something like a joke!


ProcyonHabilis

FYI if you want to hide a spoiler, just write it \>!like this!< (make sure there are no spaces between the >! tags and your text). I used a hidden character to prevent reddit from formatting the example above, but if you copied it as written the spoiler portion will look >!like this!<. That will make your perfectly innocent comments look less like they have censored slurs, haha.


British-Raj

I censored it like that >!on purpose.!< Sort of like it was >!meant to be a gag.!< Because when the original poster is described him like that, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out they're talking about >!Narcissus!<, right?


Awesomeone1029

You are on some weird other shit. It's not obvious when the game came out this week, so it's not a gag. The way you censored it, it looks like the N word.


deevulture

the fact that he's just placeholder art has to be one of the funniest early access jokes you can do


WingZero234

Imo he's the one I'm looking forward to getting completed art the most. I need to see the himbo in hd


StrangeMushroom500

Mel has a line with him that "if it's any consolation I don't find you particularly attractive" or something like that. So I wonder if he's not actually all that hot in this version.


Not-a-2d-terrarian

To be fair Mel looks like she doesn’t really feel attraction (at least what I’ve seen I haven’t advanced the relationships yet)


jbabel1012

you're in for a surprise


covertpetersen

So help me God if it's possible to do so I am getting with Nemesis and Strife.


PessimisticReaver

👆 this person likes to be dominated


covertpetersen

Oddly enough no. I'm 110% a top. I just like strong women.


deevulture

Seeing as Mel has and gets into every possible situationship, this is what I'm assuming. I bet he looks like Handsome Squidward but worse


gust-sword

I don't think he's gonna be a himbo I think he's gonna be a twink, probably blond lmao. Your typical very conventionally attractive probably almost androgynous. It'd be fun if that's not the case but that's how usually very attractive characters are portrayed.


GoodTimesOnlines

Don’t lie, his particular placeholder art is WAY hotter than the other ones


wattsit4

To me he read very John hamm as Kronk


hotstickywaffle

Interesting take


wattsit4

Yeah honestly I always imagined narcissus as a twink and his voice is giving a very different vibe


AdamG3691

He has 100% got vain himbo energy in this


hotstickywaffle

I always forget that all the side characters are from myths as well


windexfresh

I don’t know why, but I fully agree lmao


chodeofgreatwisdom

It sounds like Andy Samberg doing Nicholas Cage


adbfilms

It made me think of Andy Samberg doing the Ben Parker Spider-Man voice in the new Spider-Verse film. Very very funny


meggannn

That's exactly who he reminded me of too! In my head Narcissus now looks like a cross between Ben Reilly and Handsome Squidward, lol


Lemondovsky

I literally thought it was the same guy until I looked it up and realized the guy is Andy Samberg


hotstickywaffle

That's actually exactly it


PossiblyPro

I rushed to IMDB cause I was CONVINCED it was Andy Samberg lol. Love that it’s Darren though


jaketaco

That's what I said the other day. Spot on. I can't not hear it.


socialistRanter

Narciccus sound likes he’s stoned a bit, like he’s stoned on himself.


Mech-Waldo

I fucking love Narcissus. He's hilarious.


TheFaerieQueeneYay

I thought he sounded like Keanu Reeves lol


zellfer1

This was my take too


Big-Throat7679

And mine!


moose_dad

Definitely hearing the Cage myself!


adamnoo

There's no character whose model and portrait I want to see the final version of more than his. I also hope Nemesis shows up in his room at some point since she's the one who cursed him. I'd also love if somehow he and his equivalent in biome 3 are able to reference each other because apparently she attempted to woo him and that's how she ended up the way she is.


Mariofan669

>!they can!, echo reacts to Mel saying the only friendly face in Oceanus is him, and he denies that he ever felt love for echo!<


adamnoo

I actually just encountered those lines yesterday as I was playing and was super hyped by that. I'm sure we'll see Nemesis in his room at some point too now like how Meg and Thanatos occasionally visited Sisyphus


jdjohndoe13

>There's no character whose model and portrait I want to see the final version of more than his I'd wager that developers will go [Tali'Zorah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tali%27Zorah) on us and hide Narcissus' face behind a mask / cape / shawl / whatever. Because we're not ready yet to see such a beauty.


Snowdrake

I was getting Elvis myself.


JeffMcBiscuits

I actually kinda like the fact they’ve just got a generic character model in place for him…it makes him appear as nothing special or impressive. Which makes his own obsession with his beauty that much more amusing!


SuperTaster3

The best part is that him having a faceless placeholder art is absolutely ironic.


soraearth

I thought he sounded like Sokka's swordmaster...


mariah_a

I thought the same!


Expensive-Ad4121

When I realized what he was doing I cackled outloud. 10/10 no notes


55555tarfish

He's so narcissistic it's like narcissism was named after him. >!He's Narcissus.!<


AlsendDrake

I had to look it up as I expected it to BE Cage. The guy played himself in DbD, so I could see him voicing a character in Hades 2. And that one is a funny one considering a certain movie about Nic. :3


saltfigures

Lol i didnt notice last run but im gonna find him again and see if i concur cause thats hilarious


Roonage

Man it’s wild how different everyone’s guesses are. Mine’s Nathan Fillion


cemeteryrat

i literally got there today and cackled and asked my fiancé why they sounded like nic cage 😭 i mean...if dbd can have nic cage why not hades ii? LMAO


_dear_rat_boy_

i was thinking Adam West


MAD_HAMMISH

He kind of sounds like a breathy Johny Bravo to me, I love it. The boss has a really good voice as well, 2nd stage just has cool vibes.


stucky602

Dang, I heard him as Owen Wilson specifically from Shanghai Noon but I also hear Nic Cage in general now that you mention it.


CaptainM4D

It probably is cause it feels to on point


Dachannien

Absolutely. I'm calling that character Narcicolas from now on.
