So the Great Guardian does exist as a separate being of its own, and only an infinitesimal fraction of his endless Soul was seeded into sentient beings, to serve as a bridge to the Ether allowing tem to acquire superpowers given even time and training.

Lawrence's relation to Seforge citizens (and the rest of his family in the outer planes and the Legacy Heaven) anchor his existence and fill it with meaning and fulfillment. So yes, they are every bit as fundamental to his character as his abilities, 99% of their use being dedicated to ensuring their everlasting happiness. So without them he would probably be just another godlike sociopath doing whatever he wants at everyone else's expense, which seems to be the natural outcome when you combine immense power and emotional disconnection.

I don't think Dr Manhattan really understands how he became what he is, otherwhise he would have been able to replicate the process and  transform his closest companions in a similar way. I'm not sure even he can properly rebuild a destroyed human though, we are a hell of a lot more complex than inanimate constructs, and true re-creation would imply putting everything back together, every single particle, wave, bond, force, combination, interaction, fluctuation, etc. etc. the exact way it was before, as the slightest imperfection would change the whole equation and just create some close copy rather than reviving the previous person. Honestly, for all his powers I doubt he is capable if such an impossibly flawless achievement.

So the Great Guardian created the First Soul before he even created the world ? Sounds a bit like putting the cart before the horse, since without a world to give it context and purpose, the existence of such a soul is essentially meaningless. Which makes me wonder how the Great Guardian came up with the idea of world in the first place, which is a common paradox among creationist mythologies. Is he Omniscient as well ? If he is, wouldn't he create a perfect world at the first try rather than experiment and observe the result ? If he isn't, where did he get the knowledge to create the world ? And possibly more importantly, why would he create a world at all ? Isn't his unimaginable transcendence fulfulling enough ? After countless eons bathing in the immeasurable perfection of his Omnipotence, why would be suddenly feel the need to create something so incredibly mediocre in comparison ? Why would he have such human motives/shortcomings as boredom and loneliness when he is radically anything but human ?

Creation myths clearly are designed by humans for humans, and tend to lack a convincing internal logic on the deity's side to explain this necessary act of creation, that seems pretty incoherent from the creator's perspective.

Nigh-Omnipresence and Nigh-Omniscience ? Sounds like these would have a rather massive impact on anyone's personality, this hugely expanded awareness throughout both space and time would likely dilute the drop of his humanity in the ocean of reality, disconnecting from most human-size matters and people due to their ephemereal nature and sheer insignificance in the grand scheem of things, that the Fist Soul can perceive/experience as if he was there.

Kind of like how becoming the Three-Eyes Raven affected Brandon Stark in Game, except on a global cosmos level, and thus with coismically superior consequences on his humanity.

So the First Soul has a functionally unlimited number of orbs to fill after passively level-grinding for billions+ of years ? And it can now download pretty much any superpower by essentially just wishing it ? Not sure that leaves much room for adventures to be had ^ ^;

Divinity: Original Sin 2 ! A true RPG and the twice as awesome sequel of a great one :D
