#if he is baldur's son it is really weird how it doesn't tie in with freya's story

i want your opinion on this, who do you think sigyn might be in the gow universe? me and my friends in my group chat have discussed in lengths and we hope that it will be another name for angrboda, just like how atreus has two names. it would be pretty whack to have a *ugh* love triangle in the story, i don't think that's gonna happen, though the idea of a throuple is welcome. we just got introduced to angrboda as a character, so killing her off would be entirely out of the question. it would be so out of left field, i mean it could help setting off the plot of atreus' rage and revenge (cycles are not easily broken!), but that's been done so many times it would be redundant and not neccessary. maybe gryla is hiding something from angrboda? they haven't talked to each other for a long time. would it be plausible that her parents named her sigyn, or she's known as sigyn in other realms? the jotun community seemed very tight-knit, i wonder if they all knew each other. i wonder if angrboda's parents told them about her real name, and i wonder if they knew laufaye. i wonder if they knew of their childrens' destinies...

I think if Sigyn is included, it will be a pseudonym for Angrboda. If there is another enemy hunting down the Jotnar and/or Loki, Angrboda might refer to herself as Sigyn as a means to protect herself. Ragnarök makes it very clear that she and Atreus are endgame and a love triangle would be cringe inducing. I think we're going to see Angrboda and Atreus' relationship develop over the next few games as they grow up, and it will culminate in the birth of Hel. There's also no reason why Angrboda can't be the mother of Nari and Váli.

I feel like if Sigyn was going to appear, though, it would've been in Ragnarök.

Killing Angrboda off would destroy her arc in Ragnarök and make her another victim of this series killing off its female characters for a man's development. There's definitely other ways to get Atreus fired up: hurting Kratos, targeting the Jotnar, etc. Angrboda's story doesn't end. It doesn't revolve around Atreus. Really, her life has just begun. I think when she inevitably joins Atreus' ventures as a companion, she'll get a lot more development and really start to come out of her shell. I can see her loving and studying the art of all these different cultures and befriending some of the locals/deities.

I do think her parents definitely knew Faye and they were friends with her. We might see more of this in a potential spin off Atreus game. Even back when we saw Angrboda all the way back in the first teaser in 2021, I thought her parents knew Faye (I theorized her dad was Tyr, though lmao). I headcanon that Angrboda's mother and Faye were especially close and maybe even childhood friends.
