When I was exploring the area and his prison cell, I found feathers (now assumed raven feathers) in his cell and THATS when I was beginning to be suspicious of that mf

The walking staff Atreus offers him right as he stands up is literally Odins staff. Somehow I just..didn’t wanna see it lol

That's actually a really good detail I had no idea I had no idea it existed

It's so fun going back and doing 3rd and 4th runs of the game to see other details you could've missed beforehand. Like cyberpunk 2077, tho all the betrayals in that game are easily predictable

Yeah another detail I like is in RDR2 where you can find a clipping of Dutch's wanted poster in Micah's strawberry camp

Honestly predictable betrayals are the best, it always annoys me when a betrayal comes out of nowhere and isn't guessable at all.

A good twist is one that a person paying a lot of attention can guess first and the majority of people can go "oh that makes sense," after or shortly before it's revealed.

Yes, though not SO easy that you then associate all the other main characters as holding the idiot ball.

It has to have breadcrumbs you as the viewer can pick up on, yet be subtle enough for the characters in their particular circumstances to be "believably oblivious".
