#69, "Worship information"


          

I thought and thought, almost didn't decide on anything but came up with this:

Worship information:

In an effort to make the prospects of worshiping a god less frustrating, perhaps have a "Worship" detail command.. Such as "worship details <god>" or some such.

This would give more specific information to make your choice a more productive one and to help you decide if that god is appropriate/bad idea for you. I find that sometimes I look through the list and have to think a bit about the god, this provides a bit of a history as well as specifics that would be relevant to following them. As a newer player they may not know who exactly the gods are, when they go for empowerment. Sometimes even I wonder about some and if my role may be appropriate. This would help, without completely ruining the way it is designed.

For Example, doing this to goddess "Hecate":

-
Information on the Goddess Hecate:

Race: Drow
Sex: Female
Morals : Chaotic Evil
Tenets/Spheres: Magic, Gluttony, Death
Symbol: A bubbling, black cauldron

Has/Hasn't been seen by the populace recently. (Active vs Inactive)
Is/Is not able(low level)/Is not offering empowerment to followers.
Is/Is not able(low level)/Is not offering tattoos.

Immortal Allies: Mergulla
Favored Cabals: Scion
Other Favored: Drow, Orcs, Chaotic Minds, Men

Immortal Enemies: Umiron, Destuvius, Baerinika
Enemy Cabals: Empire, Tribunal, Fortress
Other Enemies: Elves, Orderly Minds, Genderless Beings

Any other relevant information.. Perhaps even have this open to be edited by the immortals themselves over time. Also keeps them on file for references down the road.

-

Thanks for the consideration nonetheless!

I don't necessarily think the religion/empowerment system we have is fantastic, I think it's straightforward and approachable enough. The fact that you have to read a helpfile or two and think about this stuff is certainly by design, though if someone feels like distilling the nuts and bolts of various religions down into a wiki page or something, more power to them I guess.
