Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - Flames of Vengeance Commander Rhode **SPOILERS**

Many times throughout my playthrough of DKS i was wondering if i was ever going to meet commander Rhode in a battle, especially after i killed Marius and the rest. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her until i reached Aleroth, and listened her referring to me as "IT", that is when i thought "yes it has to be now" but no, to my disappointment that guard arrested her.

It was a shame really that i never had a chance to kill her at the end of the game, but then i started FOV and learned that we are on a same mission, and that she has been released from prison, so we have to meet at some point during the game, only to find out that she has been turned to stone by Bellegar.

So now i finished the game feeling a bit disapointed, it is unfair really considering the fact that you can kill Marius twice. Pity. =(

You aren't the only one. I mean i hoped there would be posibility of reconcile with her but she get stoned off-screen with is really unfitting. Shame.

I was hoping to reprise the immortal line "bugger off, Willy" with its sequel, "bugger off, Rhode." I think I would've enjoyed that far more than any amount of killing her in nasty ways.

Well, Larian has clarified (in a very old by forum standards post) that she isn't dead. So your wish may happen.

Using her stone form as decoration in my Battle Tower would've been my preference.

Best suggestion yet. I like that. Quite delightfully morbid and simultaneously amusing. Almost like an episode of an animate series where you can also imagine the look on her face when she thaws out in the den of the dragon.

I think someone also suggested using her as a novelty coat stand, which I also rather liked.

I actually didn't want to fight her. The realization that Damian was the true enemy all along, and that she and her order had been unjustly slaughtering dragon knights for decades (not to mention, the Divine not being dead at all) and henceforth that her entire life had been a lie, should be revenge enough. It would probably drive her insane... and possibly drive her to become a villain in a future game.

Hmm yes.. now that you mention it, i think i would rather like that!

But seriously, i don't see anything noble about slayers, bunch of brain washed fanatics who hunt the dragons for all the wrong reasons. I also hate how everyone in DKS calls me slayer and you have to hide behind your silver eyes, then suddenly (in FOV) everyone knows you are a dragon knight and they worship you. I know it may be because you closed the rifts previously but still kind of weird.

I also wish there were more slayers encounters (not just terror patrol), just to give me an impression of being hunted. Of course there is a slayer camp in orbas fjords but they have no idea i am a dragon knight, so i dispatch them just for being who they are. I know that contradicts with what i previously said, but at least i am trying to save Rivelon not just pose around being my stupid self saying how cool i am.

Yeah i hate slayers...

It would have been better to use her as a sex slave after you save her from that stone curse

...... I know that Rhode is hot and all but......

Was actually an interesting surprise to see her frozen in stone. More of a tragedy as there will never be any resolve between the you and her. However in Divinity 3 there might be a way to release her, think of the statue from Divine Divinity where her protector was cursed into being a zombie for fleeing in battle.

YEP!

I think we (our main character and Rhode) both got tricked into doing our leaders and their little dirty war hehe.

I think all the slayers got hunt to extinction because every where I go, i saw corpse of slayers.

or maybe they all fail and only the main character (dragon knight) and Rhode (dragon slayer) left to save Averlon.

I got a speculation for D3. Rhode may be our main character hahaha

I think that whilst that's true, Rhode strikes me as a zealot who's most likely impervious to reason. It'll be interesting to see what happens in D3, but I doubt she'll waver from her convictions, however demonstrably wrong they may be...

Dragon knight: Come on Rhode i just save you from being stuck the rest of your eternity as a inanimated object, cant you just show a little gratitude?

C. Rhode: I swear to clean this world from your kind Dragon Knight and i intend to keep it.

Dragon Kight: But all our order had made that promise on the assumption that the divine had been killed, just look over there he is waving at us!

C. Rhode: Am not as easily tricked than those simpleton. FACE ME NOW!

Dragon Kight: omg...

*C. Rhode with a broken nose.*
*Pwned*

I still want an RPG with Rhode & the Dragon Knight being stuck together (kind of like in Beyond Divinity, only with the difference that BOTH are "good ones", then, despite all of their animosities against one another), complete with serious and funny banter (like in BG, BGII and in Dragon Age).
Every time I think of it I must think of Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing".
An at the very end of the story both should fall in love with one another and marry (in the end scene) ...

And in the very end scene, Rhode profites of a moment of weakness to assassinate the Dragon Knight mocking, "Haha, you've fallen in my trap!"

i Say that even if the Dragon knight was holding C. Rhode hand from falling into a abyse she would still try to stab him with her free hand. Either she have a personnal stake in this, or the last ritual that we didn undergo is some realy good inductrination.

Like DivineMAGE and Vometia said, I would rather have her as a sex slave as punishment or leave her as an undying statue that is able to see what is going on around her and use her as a coat rack

Well as for my Dragon knight, it would be just wrong to want hill thing to happen to someone who have such high value of duty. Yes she dosen reconize you as a friend and she have the nasty habit of calling you name.

But between you and me i would totaly prefer to have damien or Belegar as a ornement to my tower, the tow of them are just being unredimable asshole to my Dragon Knight.

The only way i see that we could safe guard C. Rhode is by opening up her mind magicaly. Think the Divin got some spell call "remove Zelott on other" in his action bar? That or lock her up in a prison and having a nice very long chat with her.

I get what youre saying. Im not really saying that she should be punished just because she was mean to you a couple of times. It more like, she punches you in the nose and then you punch hers. Yuh get me? Just a... haha your turn

This is not the style of games I play - hence I just LOVE Drakensang 2 !



What have you all against her ? She was merely following her own, il-advised agenda ..PLus, she didn't know that she was betrayed in a way, too ... In the essence, she's been Damian's tool without knowing so ... A bit like like Anakin Skywalker was Palpstines tool without knowing so ...

From that perspective, she is a rather tragic figure ... a pawn in a chess play ...


I always look BEHIND the masks ...

Well, I also love that character, but I don't think she can forgive the Dragon Knight any day. It would mean for her to admit her whole life and the one of her men was a waste, and... she seems too proud for that. I actually agree with you; she is a tragic figure, but she won't give up easily.

Rhode was very dogmatic in Ego Draconis, but she was also honorable so I don't think she'd still want the Dragon Knight dead. Not to mention, the Divine being alive would simply order her to drop her grudge.

Sure her entire life centered around killing Dragon Knights, but don't forget that most of those *were* evil.

Though Im saying to just give Rhode a little slap on the hand and pretty much saying, "you idiot, Im not saying that she needs to be killed or anything like that. And yeah, she was mislead into believing what was and wasnt the truth. Whether is was the Divine that opened or eyes or something else because she was such a proud woman, that strength and conviction she had in ED would be gone. And she would probably never be able to hold her head high again. That... is punishment enough. No need for us to do it too her.

This has to be said again: What on earth is WRONG with you?

Yup, but i hope we will see her again somewhere in future.



He is male, she is hot and strong woman, is that wrong to dream?

I dont remember where it was that I read it, but I did see in a topic somewhere that somebody said that she is just frozen in stone... not dead. So it just may happen *crosses fingers*. She would be a great character to the next game.

Nicely put! Of course now that I think about it, I would prefer the lady from Farglow that gave you the ability to mindread.

Well C. Rhode have been a tools we have been a tools mostly everybody have been tools, so i guess that when she get out of that stone form she gona have a lot of trust issue. IF she can even figure that out. Still id say that she gona dismiss everything that we told her in effect that everybody but her been corrupt by our Dragon Knight evilness. Even if the Divine told her to back down she would call him a impersonificator.

I still would cage her up for a while for her own safety and the one of other, and try to make her see the error of her way even as futile as it might. She is a to powerfull asset to just be threw away.

But that kinda was my opinion on mostly every boss iv seen in game, i would have liked to have the litch as a necromancer in my tower, the tow sister fighting to figure out whos the stronguess as grounds troop and guard, the anger issue mage half dragon knight as scientific, the dragon elf as advisor. etc

for the woman in farglow i agreed she was awsome unfortunatly i bet damian gaz the place after we gone in the blimp as he alway do >.>

but heh nothing stoping us from having a 3 some =3

Maybe not, wasn't farglow supposed to be some sort of secred, hidden village? If yes, then maybe Damian did't destroy it, and in div 3 we could meet some characters from it.

alway a possibility some of the character of broken valley did succed to escape the place, a shame they mostly all got assassinated after but heh.

still got to admirer how C. Rhode got in the vault whitout any item that we needed think that she asked belegar to telepo her in and than he stone her as a complementary gift : Well you are in the vault, never said in what for you would be in it though

Well, since she is also intelligent woman i guess she solved all puzzles when Bellegar was preocupied with us, or she simply used back doors.

Combine Bellegar's rhyming twisted sense of magic, with the obvious
connection (abet a hostile one) between the Dragon Knight and Rhode . . .
and what do you get? (Mind you I'm playing a male character)

A union . . . Slayer and Dragon . . . equals a child.
and hence the Player Character for the next Divinity Game . . .

The Child of a Slayer and a Dragon . . .
- able to mind read by birth rite
- able to see the trapped souls of the dead (again a Birth Rite)
but without the sliver eyes . . .
- able to influence/control Dragon Kin (wyverns?)

I don't think there will be much in the way of dragons or wyverns in Project E (other than a possible meeting with Patriarch). A top down camera perspective doesn't preclude having flying opponents or allies, but if Larian wanted a significant amount of aerial combat, they probably would have gone with a camera system similar to Divinity 2.

A dragon knight + Divine One union wouldn't need Bellegar's intervention to happen. The only question about either scenario is if enough damage was done to the Black Ring that Damian would take about 20 years to rebuild, to get enough time for a child of existing characters to be the hero in Project E.


Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the Welcome.

As for damage . . . if the plot if followed Atom Bombing the Armada
is suppose to stop/slow Damian's war and save Aleroth. Hence a 20 gap is easily do able.

Not sure the gap between Divine Divinity/Beyond Divinity, but I'm assuming around
a 100 years (feel free to correct this assumption).

In a top down view a wyvern is do able, it could be geared to only ranged
foes/magic-users could target it, as apposed to a straight up melee character,
but my thoughts (if I was building the game) would be that the wyverns would be
"tool" type characters . . .
IE: "Spiky get the key" (Spikey squeezes through the bars and fetches the key.)

But who knows . . .

From Divine Divinity to Beyond divinity was 20 years. Shortly after Damian returned to Rivellon there was a war which lasted for years, after which more than 50 years past before the start of Divinity 2.

She ain't that bad. She was simply tricked like you were when you joined the Slayers. It's Damien who you should be angry at for tricking everyone into believing that the Dragon Knights were responsible for The Divine's "death". Think about it, if you hadn't been chosen, your character would still be a slayer.

She ain't no zealot. She's just dedicated to her order and I'm sure that with the return of The Divine, she and the Slayers will know the error of their ways and repent.

Project E better include The Divine as one of the main characters and provide closure for characters from Divinity 2. Apparently, Laiken had a child with some female bandit as revealed in FoV, so if Project E is set a few decades into the future, I'd expect to see this child trying to hunt down the Dragon Knight for revenge.

That also makes me think of what will happen to The Dragon Knight. Will they make a cannon Dragon Knight or would the Dragon Knight be absent from Project E?

I seriously hope that Project E is the continuation of Divinity because I am curious as to how Damien is going to be now that Ygerna is dead. I'd imagine that any humanity that is left in him will vanish. Dragon Commander is all well and good but I want to see more of Zandalor, Bellegar, Damien and The Divine One.

I seriously hope that Project E is the continuation of Divinity

Actually, one of the few things we know about Project E is that it will conclude the story arc of Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity and Divinity 2.

Then I think I know who the best character story-wise should be as the controllable character.

The Divine One...

But would we be stuck as playing the cannon one (Lucien) or would Larian allow us to create a name and even choose The Divine One's gender like in Divine Divinity? I guess players will have to ignore The Divine One's appearance in Divinity 2 as a male warrior called Lucien.

Larian could do something similar to Mass Effect where you can play Shepard as the default John Shepard with his unique appearance or create a custom character altogether.

This also raises the question...will the character be voiced? If the character is voiced, I hope it's akin to The Witcher, Deus Ex:HR and Two Worlds 2 where your characters says EXACTLY what the text says.

I have no problem with voiced protagonists so long as there's no paraphrase system.

You shouldn't wipe the slayers, since they are one of the top combatant around, they should die defending the world to repent.

The ones in the slayer camp were not very elite. I saved before entering and tried various conversation options and quest solutions...


Welcome to the forum.

Yea, was kinda disappointed about no closure with Rhode either way myself. Also was kinda confused about the fact that if Bellegar was really bent on stopping you, why didn't he just turn you into stone too?

Not that it would have made the best of endings, but after the end of Ego Draconis, it really would not have surprised me, lol.

He is male, she is hot and strong woman, is that wrong to dream? [/quote]


To be honost. The chance of her being a sex slave is slime to none. She to strong and domminate to be one. If anything you would be her sex slave lol.

I do like C. Rhode and was hoping to team up with her to face off with Damien. It pissed me off that I had to fight that @sshole Bellegar. D@mn rymning nut job.



As much as that would be epic. I do not think she would fall in love with my DK. I would think my DK has to much breast for Rhode. Unless she is into girl. Sadly children would be a problem. Unless there was temporary gender change spell. Which could be a possiblity. After all I go from female human to female dragon. Who to say I could not shape shift to male or herm for loving Rhone. Heck even D&D has gender changing spell.



Actully that would surprised me. A game where the bad guy wins..... Beside those games where you play as the bad guy from the get go. Still that would be cool to see you character die at the end. For a cliff hanger.

One last thing. Arise post Arise. Return back to life.
