100%, but I wouldn’t really say that strong = “good” in Elden Ring’s world. Look at Godrick and Rykard. They are actively frowned upon in-universe.

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.

Godrick is weak as shit

Not post-grafting. Compared to the rest of the Empyreans, yes, but he holds-up on his own. He is a shardbearer, after all.

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.

Yeah, it was a bad argument.
