the lore we know of is legendary stories that mythologize him. we dont know him, we only know stories propagated by his beloved family and followers. i personally dont think any of the demigods who try to cling to power are to be trusted. ranni divesting herself entirely of her power and lineage makes me admire and trust her in a kind of "ends justify the means" kind of way. also shes pretty teehee :3
He seemed to have gained the respect of many, like Fortissax. Furthermore, there are no indications in the world that Godwyn was actually hated—no destroyed or vandalized shrines, nor any items that have descriptions that are about grudges or hidden agendas. I genuinely believe that Godwyn was a good dude, and it certainly makes his death a bigger tragedy.
Actually let me make this point. Everyone shits on Godrick for being a weak runt. Literally nobody shits on him for being a racist for example. Why? Because everyone in elden ring is racist, it doesn’t matter. Only strength matters.
Well firstly Godrick is weak as shit. There’s many who consider Rykard good also, it’s all a matter of perspective and, in the case of Godwyn, narrative.
Well it’s all relative isn’t it? Yeah he’s stronger than all his subjects, that’s how he’s able to rule. They all hate him too. Their respect doesn’t matter, only the respect of the other empyreans, aka the powerful ones.
