What do people think about Hags lore and cinematic (Spoilers)
I find it interesting, but to me it adds nothing to the character. I know there wasn't a lot they could've done but I still wish there was more to it.
There may be something I'm missing out on, but from what I saw it was just a random bit of backstory.

I thought it was really underwhelming and made no sense to her written lore. It says she grew up in a quiet village separated from civilization and uses the term hamlet and villagers which implies a time further in the past but the Tome makes it very modern. It also says she was taught charms for luck and protection, not stole them from a mysterious book belonging to her grandma. She was taken by cannibals but the Tome makes it seem like the existence of cannibals is just superstition.

The "Don't worry, Gran ... I'm not going to turn into a swamp-tree or be kidnapped by a bunch of cannibals." had me rolling.
The cutscene was kind of random, but it seems like just like her friend, Lisa tempted fate (by drawing a spell and sharing it with someone) and paid for it. 🤷♀️

I just don’t care about Hag. Least interesting Killer to choose from. I am not saying Hag isn’t strong. Just not enough polish to make Hag a main Killer that would be fun to play.
Most that do main Hag are just campers. Hook someone and put a trap next to the hook. Hook-save to get an instant M1 from teleporting Hag. Rinse and repeat. Yawn to a 4K.

lmao this thread is about her tome lore.

What makes no sense is how the tome goes almost completely against her origins. I wonder if it is a disconnect between the writers now and the content from earlier...
Hag is from a remote village in the backstory. Unless they are inferring that America is some kind of remote country, the new lore counters this.
The only way I could see the rift reconciled with the lore is if that version of the Hag is from a parallel timeline... but that is it. Are killers the same beings plucked from multiple timelines, or are they one from one timeline and with multiple looks.
The cosmetics seem to indicate the former theory, while the foundations support the latter. They need to clarify this, as it will become a problem for their writing team later if we do not understand the rules on which the story is based, we will have questions they do not want to answer... to add to the pile of things they do not want to answer for already...

It's the same with Legions lore... Julie was the third to get the stab, not the second, and that's only the cinematic.

I was a little disappointed, the story itself was quite interesting but it didn’t rly tell me a lot about Lisa as a person. It irked me a little when reading the leaked stories of the killers that Philip had more tome entires than Lisa.

Can't wait to see his lore, hope I'm not dissapointed.

It was really good, actually told us a lot about how The Wraith came to be

I mean BHVR has spaghetti code so why not spaghetti writing too?
They had to be two separate writers or someone really doesn't understand how to do the simplest of research...

I was hoping to see in this cutscene how Hag slowly transform into the killer though...

true I mean this doesn't show any sign of evil within her as a character, it just showed for one character, what I do like hoever is how it pushes for the theme that shows you shouldn't mess with something that you don't understand, and the girl payed for it.

Same here, it's a shame that we got a cinematic that had barely anything to do with her too, but rather her friend. All it did confirm was the symbols were bad and led to her demise

Probably how Lisa ended up paying for it, however she was allowed to live it seems at a cost.

I was really disappointed. I was looking forward to reading about either her life in her village with the elders, or her ordeal of weeks of torture with the cannibals. Instead we got some modern day tale of her and her bitchy friend goofing around with symbols she found in her grandma's book so they can get passing grades in school.
Almost as dull as Kate's story.

I was talking about Pam, but I didn't think about Lisa, also I liked how it says and evil force is watching her ( I think it was something in those following lines, but Idk). But yeah through that event it could have pushed her to believing that superstition and follow up on the lore

I'd be up for saying it's better than Kate's story, although not by a long shot.

Kate's is the worst so far. Literally its just her sitting in a forest trying to find her muse for music again, she spots a strange glow in a cave.....end of story.

Probably better than drawing strange symbols with ink, then blood.
Could these symbols that Lisa and Pam drew be what Hag uses for her Phantasm traps 🤔
Edit: Rewatched the cut scene only to recognise it is infact a different symbol.

The Lore for Hag would be a lot better if it documented the stages she went through to become who she is now,
Possibly expanding into when she was captured by cannibals and how she managed to slaughter them all before being taken by the entity...

One thing about the cutscene. The ######### had it coming

I don't find it all that interesting, but since its implied that the dude in the archives is looking into several dimensions, I can just imagine this as a universe thats not connected to the Hag in game. Ironic deaths are always funny to me.

I agree, the whole thing doesnt tie in the slightest with Hag's lore, I always tought she was one of the oldest Killers in the game, at least 2 centuries old, canibalism, paddle steamers, very isolated hamlets? all that seems more like 1850 than the 1970, not to mention a whole village of canibals would have been noticed by some authority at some point, right?.
I was expecting a civil war/freed people theme since her nationality, race, location (swamps and paddle steamers are heavily associated with USA southern states) and supposed era tied well with it and we got some random 70s nonsense... I was surprised but in a bad way.
