if zagreus from wasting beats was born as a mortal man into BG3's Faerun instead of ancient Greece what would his story be??? What would be different/the same??
HNRGHHHHH Robin, this question is like catnip for me.
Oh man, if we're following wasting beats logic (he was once a god but is now just a mortal human man who doesn't have memories of being a god), then I think he'd be a prime target for tadpoling.
The cult of the Absolute would probably want to capture him alive and see if they could "release" his latent divine potential, as an asset to their cause. Zagreus starts investigating them because he wants answers about his life, damnit, and quickly finds out that, actually, he wants to stop this cult more than anything.
Given Zagreus in general can accept all sorts of punishment, a small thing let getting his brain chewed open wouldn't necessarily stop him, but I think he'd have a super rough time of it! He'd have to grow very quickly into the DND adventurer hardiness, perhaps specializing in necromantic magic and every melee weapon known to man. Thanatos could even be his patron and he could go hard down the warlock route, wielding blood magic and blade alike.
Zagreus' quest would probably still center around the unspoken questions of his parentage and also the missing divine goddess of nature. It's almost an easy fit, because so much of BG3's Faerun is based off wild hunches and adventurers galloping about the world. He'd make friends with the druid Callisto and the light cleric Iapyx and help mediate the local orcs and their failing marriage.
Thanatos would show up in the camp and leave without warning, but no one other than Zagreus could see him. The god seems to want to leave some sort of warning, but Zagreus keeps trying to get him to play drinking games with him instead. :'D
But as he journeys through Faerun and explores old temples and starts to get hints of what, exactly, his origins might be, there's this growing fear that he might be reclaimed by whatever plane his father resides in. He might not be able to stay at all. The god of death, his FATHER, wants him back, mortality be damned, and he might have to make the ultimate choice:
Embrace the tadpole and allow himself to be forever changed, casting aside who he once might have been-
or
Finally understand who he was born to be, take the power of his bloodline, but forever leave behind everything he cares about to fulfill that destiny.

My two moods in writing canon-divergence plotpoints (with some examples I feel passionate about in no particular order)
"Yes, canon is acceptable, but consider..."
○Hiccup x Jack
○Jay Gatsby x Nick Carraway end game
○Pitch Black redemption arc
○Tony Stark surviving the snap
○Alec Ryder remaining alive but still had to transfer S.A.M. to his son/daughter so they still become a Pathfinder
○Gregory Sackville-Bagg getting more screentime than Anna Sackville-Bagg
○Miguel being in a threesome with Tulio x Chel
○Camillo joining Mirabel in her quest to save the miracle, so Pepa's side of the family and their struggle could also be addressed.
○Chai snapping at Peppermint once for her being bossy and being valid about it.
"Just because it's canon doesn't mean it should be..."
❌Stoick dying
❌Toothless leaving
❌Gatsby dying
❌The original Gamora dying
❌Jason Grace dying
❌Pedro not surviving and the miracle shows up before the sacrifice was completed
❌Ali, Saebyeok, Sangwoo, Jiyeong, and Junho dying
❌Finnick and Prim dying
❌Zagreus not finding out exactly what Sisyphus did to Thanatos because it could've led to an awesome secret boss fight with Sisyphus.
❌Daedalus not being a character in the 'Hades' games with his own story of not seeing his son Icarus, who's has a secret relationship with Apollo.

the sudden sickening fully insane realization that for most wols amaurot is like "whoa, crazy city." and then instead for any former imperial conscript or defector wols it's like having an absolute out-of-body experience as you arrive at the bottom of the ocean on another plane of existence to get to a city that definitely kind of looks like garlemald. a waking nightmare hand-crafted by the emperor himself.
