You'll probably regret being spoiled if you ever plan on getting one, which if you're really looking for answers should be on your horizon. I can give the more spoiler-free answers for now though...Samtemdo8 said:I want to be spoiled, I don't have a PS4 at the moment.Casual Shinji said:Answering those questions would result in spoiling the shit out the game. This new game is pretty stuffed with massive reveals.Samtemdo8 said:You know while you guys are still arguing with Ezekiel's opinions, I still haven't gotten the answer to my own question about 50 posts ago:

Why is Kratos in Norseland?
He destroyed Greece, and realizing what a monster he'd become, needed to distance and isolate himself as much as possible. North was the logical conclusion.
Why is Kratos even alive when he stabbed himself with the Blade of Olympus?
Well, he's a demigod. Beside's, he's been stabbed before with a bigger blade at least twice and lived.
What happened to Ghost Athena?
Not going there.
Am I to believe that the end of the World as shown in God of War 3 was a localized apocolypse?
Well again, he dismantled the Greek pantheon which destroyed their belief system, thereby giving the people fortunate (?) enough to survive the gift of free will. Hence Athena's comment, "But they won't know what to do with it!!" at the end of 3. Norse mythology was a geographically and chronologically distant belief system from the Greek one. There are other differences between the two which go far beyond that too, which is touched on in the new game.
Why does he have a Son now and who was Mama Kratos that birthed him?
Also not going there. Suffice to say even Kratos grew lonely enough to eventually seek a companion, even if it were hundreds of years later.
In the meantime, best to look into getting a PS4 if that doesn't satisfy your curiosities.
