"I suppose the Trident of Eden was thought up partially because it's a cool concept and also in order to have it be broken up into seperate pieces which need to be collected, which can't really be done with a staff."

If your going to do that atleast make it's powers more unique, I don't find it that cool as it's basically a weaker version of the Apples or Staff.

"In terms of lore, I wouldn't really call it convoluted, although it is admittedly a bit reduntant. I suppose it's there for the sake of variety, as having the characters search for yet another Apple would be rather repetitive."

But then they create a "new" POE just to have it do something that could have been done with the Apples or Staves, because then it's creating a new skin for no reason.

The Shroud and Swords have different abilities to the Apples.
