How big a role will the gods play?
« on: January 23, 2002, 03:47:27 pm »
By this I mean, will the gods take an active role/interest in their followers\' lives? Will we be able to pray to them and get a temporary blessing? Will they strike down offenders (as was mentioned in another thread? Divine assistance could be good, if used sparingly, and certainly would only occur to those who are truly faithful (follow the tenets of their god, donate to the temples, or whatever). I don\'t recall if there is any sort of divine magic, but it might be nice to have the priests of the temples be able to perform \"miracles\" (i.e. healing the sick, tending to the wounded, or calling down a firestorm on those who would defile their temple).

I would like to be able to pray to gods and have their divine assistance when i\'m killing big bosses :))

The Kendaro is weary of the gods. Gods do strange things to those that give of themselves to them. For once you open yourself to the gods, they have full comand of you. This is why the Kendaro not trust them. The Kendaro stays away and watches them from far.

Or, we could make the gods be like in ancient greece, where they did stuff for no reason appeared to eye.

for example, a true follower, some1 who never muggs, kills or what ever will hated by the guys or be loved, in the same chances that a mugger and a player killer has to be hated by the gods..

cuz i mean, if the gods will hate u for killing, then who will pk at all?

wait reading back my idea it sounds bad lol

no i think the gods should defently be good to those who are good, but they cant hate us if we pk too much

I think it should be by chance. For example, if one day a god is in a good mood, it could do crazy things like rain money over a town for 5 mins :D but if he/she were unhappy, he/she could just cause an earthquake or whatever :P
What do you think?

Gods

I think there should be both good and evil gods.However they should be constrained mostly in acting harshly towards normal people however if they had follwers there followers would do the ground work for them just like in books that im sure everyone has read.

So say this one person is very close to his god he might have granted powers and such (not saying this would be easy) for good or evil designs

with artifacts and such in the game noble leaders and such the gods would be having people go on all sorts of quests weather good or evil as the gods are vying for power between each other.

do u mean gods as contributers?  :D ;) i like the idea that if a god/goddess is in a bad mood they\'ll send hail/firestorms/etc down, but if they\'re in a good mood they\'ll heal ppl or give them money

Well there are sure to be various different gods for different types of people some would help the races while others plotted against them i would think.
The parts of gods just might be taken on by the moderaters and game designers themselves they could have a ingame game amonst themselves where they asked for help from people or delivered threats and from the people doing this or that for them they couold raise power lvls or something while the other gods are trying to get the very same lvl for themselves then when a god or goddess had a certain lvl they could do something extrodinary across the land calling war on good or evil and pulling people to them and such ....anyone getting these ideas ?
