Giant Personalities

I've noticed an issue regarding the shrines. The Giants only comment on the size of your donation and tend to come off as greedy jerks. You could solve this by having different donation responses be specific to different giants. When you donate, you'd receive a comment related to the giant's personality and affiliation. For example, Cosma could talk about how everything looks from up above, Ti might blurt a random prime number, and Grendaline might even give you a big, fluffy towel!

    It strikes me that these Gods are all quite different from each other, but it doesn't show up when making donations.
    To build on what Thrindos has said..
    Zille could worry whether she was your favorite, Mab could nag you for not working hard enough
    and Lem pretend he was somewhere else.

    also, i wonder if there would be certain items that the giants would favor specifically over just food,gems,and music boxes?
    Zille would really like a hard-to-get mining related item,
    Humbaba would like animal products(possibly Really,really, stinky cheese, considering the energy you have to do to make it)
    Alph would like items you crafted yourself using the tinkertool,
    possibly be able to get favor for cosma by using Transcendental radiation near her shrine,
    Friendly would be ingredient-intensive cocktails,
    and so on.

  • +1! And really liked the idea of certain giants requesting certain items, Eudevie (perhaps for favor bonuses?).

    @Eudevie, I'm in favour of that. In fact, that's how I assumed shrine donations worked when I started the game. It doesn't really make sense to have multiple giants when they're all the same for practical purposes.

    Although, I can see why the current system is far easier on the player. You shouldn't need to learn the skill set connected to a certain giant simply to be able to make a good donation. It would take a long time to learn the skills to begin with, and getting an emblem to spend would be hell. 

    Of course, once the game goes live, we'll have more time to do everything. We just need to find the right balance. I know it'll complicate matters heavily, but perhaps the definition of a good donation for a particular giant could depend on the skills you've already learnt?

  • I agree with the OP and also with Eudevie. Like shakha, I also thought that was how the shrines worked.
