The concept of composite deities is not really "a wild theory" as it is supported by many real life religions. For instance, Ra (Sun God) and Horus (Sky God) and Atum (God of darkness. water bodies and men) are known to be able to combine to form Atum-Ra, Ra-Horus, etc. The mysterious Tumeken is clearly the Gielinor version of Ra. So the concept of composite deities is quite plausible in Gielinor already. ;)

As for Xau-Tak being a "fusion" of Zaros and Kerapac is kind of... lack of lore to support it at this stage though. I don't think anybody is stuck in the shadow realm neither, as pretty much any player with a set of ghost robes can enter and leave it apparently.

Please relax. You replied an entire paragraph (one with a general smattering of condescension, I might add), to one small characterization of something, that, to boot, is ultimately an opinion. Yeah, of course Tumeken is an adaptation of Ra. Composite deities have existed in world history, cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for that, I guess.

But... So? I still think his theory is "wild." The two are not mutually exclusive, as [again] my <ahem> personal opinion , that the theory is "wild," does not automatically have to be because of the "composite deity" aspect. I also have no obligation to elaborate on that one little characterization, as I wasn't really looking to debate it or convince anyone else of it. It's just one small opinion. Why did you spend a whole paragraph invoking the strawman logical fallacy just to convince someone that one minuscule opinion they stated is incorrect?

(That's a rhetorical question. Worry not, for I am confident I already know the answer to it.)

You're right, there's little evidence supporting the idea. That's why we called it a theory .

Please relax. I never replied with a "general smattering of condescension" as you wrongfully stated. Please re-read my comment on Page 25, Post 7. It clearly shows my opinion is anything can happen so don't assume composite deities is a "wild theory" in RS3, however, I also clearly stated, there is lack of evidence to support such a plausible theory yet, or who form composite deities with who.

I really don't know how to reply to this other than to say, "Wow." I don't know what comment of mine you're replying to, but it definitely isn't this one.

Have a great week.

With their powers combined Zamorak, Saradomin, Armadyl, Seren and Zaros formed the God Megazord. To take down the threat of the Eldergods.

I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen at any point. Composite characters can be done really well, but at the same time they can be done really badly. Adding them to this storyline wouldn’t really fit, would come off as lazy writing and probably get memes to death. Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

Well, Jagex have released the yearly serious quest. See you call next year for the next one.

They are making another new one now Warden said it is highly likely it will be released this year and he is really pushing it because of the excitement and very high engagement and praise from Desperate Measures.

Can they get a quest out before the end of the year? Yes. They have shown consistently that they can make a quest in 2-4 months.

Does this mean the quest will be "good"? No. Just because they can kludge something together and make it fit within the lore of the game, doesn't mean that it will be "good". Now ofc, you will have varying definitions of "good" on top of the tastes/thoughts of every single person that plays the quest.

Did they give an idea of what the quest will be?
I did see that livestream. Keep in mind that it's not like they are locked into creating the sequel to Desperate Times & Desperate Measures .... Desperate Creatures if you use Kerapac's dialogue? .... it also might not necessarily be a sequel to some of the current quest series that actually need a conclusion (Desert, Gnome, etc).
It could end up being a bottle quest like You Are It. It could also end up being another throw away quest like Once Upon a Slime (good Guthix I hope not).

Keep in mind the Desperate Measures team also revealed typically it took 3-4 months to make a quest of that quality. They also said the new quest has been revealed and in development as soon as Desperate Measures was released.

That said, they have 4+ months till the end of the year to develop and release the new quest, or the same (if not more) time they spent on Desperate Measures. All facts point to the new quest being one with the same quality and efforts spent on Desperate Measures.
