He explains that he originally auditioned for the role of Kratos, which eventually went to actor Chris Judge. Unfortunately, Craighead also did not get the role of Freya, Vanir goddess and Queen of the Valkyries (the part went to Danielle Bisutti). However, the developers kept Craighead in mind for other roles and decided that he would be perfect to play Brok the dwarf, brother of Sindri, in God of War 2018.
Brok and Sindri have a very strained relationship, and the two have not spoken in years when players first encounter them in God of War 2018. However, through their mutual decision to help Kratos and Atreus on their journey (due to their loyalty to Faye, the boy's mother) the brothers reunite and reconcile their differences.
Craighead recalls a personal story of a broken brotherhood in his own family. His father and his uncle had not spoken in 30 years due to a business disagreement. However, a family passing finally brought the brothers together again.
Craighead remembers the pain his father went through as a result of the strained relationship with his brother, even though the man had a gruff and stoic exterior (similar to the personality that Brok exhibits). In a way, Craighead drew on his father's memory in order to inhabit the role of Brok.
Craighead also mentions his good friend Dee Wallace, an actor most famous for playing the mother in E.T. the Extraterrestrial. Wallace said that sometimes difficulties in life are a reminder for people to be kind to each other and to care for one another.

Before God of War 2018, Brok died. Sindri, unable to live without his brother, jumped into the Lake of Souls and retrieved his brother's soul pieces, except for one. He resurrected Brok for selfish reasons. However, if Brok were to ever die again, he could not transcend to the Norse afterlife with an incomplete soul.
Sindri dealt with the trauma of his brother's first death by becoming a germophobe and over-caring for those around him. His need for control drove him to give Kratos and Atreus whatever they needed on their journey to keep them safe.
When Odin killed Brok after using Atreus to enter their home, Sindri felt immense guilt, shame, and rage at himself for denying his brother an afterlife. Unable to deal with this pain, Sindri lashed out at the people closest to him and pushed them away.
Sindri took up Brok's hammer as a way to keep his brother's memory alive, and even took on his brother's personality. Sindri took off his gloves, shed his germophobia, and threw himself into battle. He delivered the final blow that killed Odin, thus completing his vengeance on the mad god.

God of War 2018 ends with a very shocking scene. Baldur, consumed with anger at his mother Freya for the spell she cast on him, tries to take her life. She does not stop him, but Kratos does. He cannot stand by and let his friend Freya die. Freya, inconsolable in her grief at losing her son, promises to take vengeance on Kratos.
In God of War Ragnarök, Freya stops short of killing Kratos because she can't rob Atreus of his father. However, she enlists Kratos' help in taking vengeance against the person ultimately responsible for much of the grief and loss in the nine realms, the Aesir god Odin.
Kratos succeeds in helping Freya break free from one of Odin's curses. Kratos apologizes to Freya and tells her that he should not have robbed her of the choice over life and death with respect to her son Baldur. Freya reconciles with Kratos, and her forgiveness has a physical effect on him as his shoulders ease after being forgiven. Actor Christopher Judge made the most of this subtle but powerful scene.
The two continue onward through Vanaheim, restoring peace to the realm. Freya, a Vanir goddess and Queen of the Valkyries, has found some measure of peace by defeating Odin and joining Kratos in his quest to rebuild the nine realms.

In 2022's sequel, God of War Ragnarök, that innocent question of "Can I turn into an animal?" is answered definitively when Loki transforms into both a fearsome wolf and a massive bear.
These transformations are triggered by intense emotions at first, and are out of the young god's control. However, through the course of the game (and with guidance from both Angrboda and Kratos), Loki is able to control his powers and use them constructively.
In Norse mythology, Loki is a shapeshifter. However, Kratos would not know about this. Instead, Kratos would know about his own father Zeus' ability to change into various animals. Since Zeus is technically Loki's grandfather in the game, Kratos should have at least been open to the possibility that his son might develop shapeshifting powers.
My hunch is that Eric Williams, Game Director for God of War Ragnarök, wanted to build on that question from the previous game, which was directed by his friend and co-worker at Sony Santa Monica, Cory Barlog.

Atreus wants to search for Tyr, the Norse god of war, who was a major unseen character from the previous game. He believes that Tyr will return from exile to lead an army against the tyrannical Odin in the battle of Ragnarök. However, his father Kratos wants to avoid war and to protect his son against any danger.
Atreus assumes that Kratos will forbid him in his pursuit of Tyr, so he decides to conduct the search in secret. He conscripts Sindri the dwarf to watch his back as he opens the Jotnar shrines to discover the hidden prophecies therein.
However, after finding a prophecy that predicts his father's death, Atreus becomes single-minded in his pursuit of some method by which he can prevent Kratos from dying.
At the end of God of War 2018, Kratos sees the same prophecy of his own death and becomes afraid for his son. He makes Atreus focus solely on training during the three-year-long Fimbulwinter that followed Baldur's death so that he will be ready to survive on his own.
When Kratos discovers that Atreus has been traveling in secret, and that he takes Sindri the dwarf to watch his back instead of his own father, he feels ashamed. Kratos decides that he doesn't want to push his son away.
The two gods, father and son, deepen their relationship through love and trust. Kratos realizes that he has raised a capable young god, and Atreus realizes that he still has much to learn. He sets out on his own journey to find the missing giants of Jotunheim after receiving his father's blessing.

In pursuit of his obsession, Odin becomes an absent father. Instead of learning from his mistakes, Odin chooses to weaponize his absence. He withholds his love and affection from his family in order to manipulate them into loyalty. The Asgardians are constantly competing for the All-Father's attention and thus never think to question his brutality.
Eric Williams explains that this is analogous to how people hurt their families in real life, whether knowingly or unknowingly, by withholding affection. Even Kratos was on a path to becoming an absent father in God of War 2018. Kratos was scared and afraid that his anger, rage, and past brutality would somehow taint his son and curse him to live a life of bloodshed and vengeance, just as he had done in Greece. This is why Kratos avoided spending time with his son as much as he could until his wife's death.
In contrast to Odin, Kratos' love for his son led him to eventually open his heart to him. At the end of God of War 2018, he finally began giving his son the approval and affection he needed to grow into a good person.
The sons of Odin were not that fortunate. He manipulated both Baldur and Thor into becoming killers. Thor adopted the legacy of abuse and, through physical punishment, turned his own sons, Magni and Modi, into cruel gods.
Odin feeds on this power and feels that he is all-powerful and all-knowing, able to do anything he wants with no consequences. However, despite his near-omnipotence in the Norse pantheon, Odin is unable to translate some words carved into a simple wooden mask. When Atreus arrives and effortlessly reads the runes, Odin feels jealousy for the first time in his immortal life.
Odin has so much hubris that he makes a grave mistake. He thinks he can manipulate Atreus too. But what Odin doesn't know is that Kratos, through love and affection, has turned his son into a strong person capable of seeing through such abusive tactics. This moment of hubris leads to Odin's eventual downfall.

One reason was that, given Kratos' history of taking and using weapons from defeated opponents, the gaming audience would be expecting him to defeat Thor and claim Mjolnir. The developers would not be able to use the opportunity to surprise the players. Therefore, the team decided to implement an unexpected weapon instead, similar to how players were surprised by the return of the Blades of Chaos half way through God of War 2018.
Another reason was that, given Thor's use of Mjolnir to destroy the giants of Jotunheim, the weapon had an "evil" essence. In contrast, Kratos' primary weapon in the game, the Leviathan Axe, had an essence of "justice" because Faye, Kratos' late wife, bestowed the weapon on him so he would protect others with it.
However, Kratos is a not a just character. He still wields the Blades of Chaos, a set of weapons with which he did many terrible things. He sold his allegiance to Ares, the Greek God of War, and in return he was bestowed the blades, forged from a river of fire and bound to his arms with burning chains. But Kratos is trying to change and grow and "be better" for the sake of his son Atreus, who was in danger of following a dark path just like Kratos did.
Eric Williams explained that the developers wanted to give Kratos a weapon that would blend well with one of the major plot points, namely that of the old Spartan returning to his role as a general presiding over an army. The spear fit well with this part of the story because a spear was the first weapon that a solider of Sparta learned during training. The decision to merge the spear mechanic with the Draupnir ring was a happy coincidence of game development meeting a convenient item from Norse mythology.

Eric Williams explained that this was designed to reward the players. The simple act of petting the wolves has a story and motivation behind it, and the player can gradually see how and why Kratos eventually pets them. Kratos spent the majority of God of War 2018 unable to give his son a simple hug or even a pat on the shoulder. Similarly, it takes some time and effort for him to eventually pet the wolves.
In the case of Speki and Svanna, Kratos must first destroy the Raider camps where the two wolves were imprisoned when they were puppies. Once Kratos clears the camps, he comforts the wolves and tells them not to be afraid. In the case of Fenrir, Kratos can only pet him after completing the game and then visiting Jotunheim to speak with Angrboda, the large doggo's new caretaker.
In contrast to this measured approach, many video games opt for instant gratification. This approach can also be fun, but the gratifying moments pass quickly and must be replaced by something else soon.
In addition, Eric Williams mentions that there are still some undiscovered secrets in the post-game. The community has already found Tyr wandering the realms, leading to fan speculation about what this means and if there will be new pantheons for Kratos and Atreus to explore, perhaps to aid in the search for the missing giants of Jotunheim. There is also speculation that Sindri will attempt to find his brother Brok's missing soul piece.

I'm pretty happy with the results. This is my new favorite build and I plan to use it once New Game Plus is added to the game. This build has really good Cooldown, Runic, Luck, and some amazing buffs. I'm still not quite sure what Blessing of the Nine Realms does, but it certainly doesn't seem to hurt!
#godofwar #ragnarok #gameplay
However, Odin disguised himself as Tyr, used Atreus to enter Sindri's home on the World Tree Yggdrasil, and killed Sindri's brother Brok. Sindri blamed Kratos and Atreus for not only Brok's death but also for abusing their friendship. Sindri never forgave Kratos or Atreus even after Brok's funeral.
Eric Williams explained that this was designed to illustrate the fact that some relationships can remain broken forever and that not all stories get a happy ending. In contrast, the Vanir goddess and Queen of the Valkyries, Freya, forgave Kratos, to a certain extent, for killing her son Baldur.
In addition, a small detail that was never addressed was Sindri's role in Baldur's death. Sindri was the one who gave Atreus the mistletoe arrows which ultimately led to Baldur losing his immortality. But his relationship with Freya did not seem to suffer because of it.
