Killing Heimdall might have actually been inevitable, since he had Gjallarhorn which in the entire game is the only way to Asgard not provided by Odin. If Kratos, Mimir, Atreus, Freya and all the rest behaved more diplomatically and did not antagonise Odin/Asgard from the very start, there might have been another way actually. But whatever, let's say Heimdall had to die. He was an incredible asshole and could really have killed Atreus, so good riddance. But Ragnarök - the monster formed from Surtr - was definitely not necessary. So hard disagree on that. All that monster did was devide Kratos' forces (Freya and Freyr) further. If they wanted an attack on Asgard without destroying the realm itself, just targeted at Odin, they could have blown Gjallarhorn and got in. Sindri with his little thingy could have crashed the wall. Kratos fought Thor anyways and won and turned his head right. Odin would still kill Thor. And all of them would still kill Odin. And Asgard would still stand. And to your sentence about Odin having done incredibly evil things in the past: very true. But how long ago was that. Kratos himself did inexcusable things in the past. We accept his change. The only real dick moves Odin brings in the entire game are killing Brok and killing Thor. He killed Brok (if memory serves right) right after hearing that his most loyal servant, that is Heimdall, was killed by Kratos (who now has a streak of killing Asgardians). And he killed Thor when the self-declared enemy shows up with the end of the world in tow and Thor, by the looks of it, is letting it happen. Is Odin actually a good guy? No, I don't think so. But I get where he is coming from and more than that: he is never activly evil in the game, he just overreacts two times killing Brok and his own son. |
Odin was personally and actively terrorizing the dwarves during the game. He also had his people terrorizing the regions on his behalf, throughout the entire game. |
I can't remember that with the dwarves. Unless you refer to him overseeing how far along the dwarves were with the war machines. But I would not call that terrorizing. And one time he had Durlin as a protection from Kratos. Surely Durlin must have thought: I don't want to be your shield you asshole. But on the grand scale of things this was not so bad.
And the Einherjar fight against Kratos and his gang, yes. But this is just because they are Odins self-declared enemies. He does steal the moon, which you could say is terrorizing this one region. (And an abolute idiot move if he wants to avert Ragnarök.) But other than that I did not see much terrorizing. His "army" did not fight the dwarves. And not more than 6 people in Vanaheim. Nobody in Midgard. Nobody in Alfheim, Niflheim, Musplheim or Helheim. (He cannot go to Jotunheim anyways as far as we know.)
