Giant Affiliation

This is purely for the sake of thought, since its just beta. 

Let me preface what Im about to write with a few things:
1) I dont like the 1000 favor cap for shrines (per day)
2) I understand that new skills will be added, and that some of the trees of skills arent balanced with others, and some dont have giant affiliation

So, onto my point....

I would like to see some sort of Giant affiliation with Glitches -- Now, this would not be restricting (in my head) to everyone, but for instance I'll start you with an example... 

Zachariah donates all of his treasures to Cosma & Lem, while Matthew donates his treasures to whichever Giants shrine is avalable at his location.

In my idea, Zachariah would receive more bonuses from Cosma & Lem, and what they are affiliated with (AKA better meditation, higher learning speeds) while Matthew would still gain bonuses with Giants, just to a lesser extent since his donations would be lesser. I feel like Glitch might already be headed in this direction with 'Emblems' since they are just the first emblems, and I'm sure in an update they will probably increase favor caps asto acquire new emblems, but so far I just havent seen any specified bonuses with donating to a Giant. 

** Now I understand (in my own personal idea of perfection for this) that these affiliations wouldnt be easy to acquire & would take alot of donation to said Giant to start seeing results, I just think the idea would add more depth to the game & would allow me to better express my own imagination & character.

  • I'd like to see more Giant interaction, too, including affiliation, especially since the storyline with the rocks, trees, chickens, etc. keep alluding to this type of thing.  One of my first thoughts in playing was surprise that Giant affiliation didn't factor more into the story.

    FWIW, the Giant affiliations for skills does impact speed learning right now - the ones affiliated with the skill will double what the other giants give you as far as double speed learning goes.  Someone mentioned that the mining giant gives more favor for rocks than the others do, but I didn't get a chance to verify that myself. 

    I'm OK, though, with the 1000/day limit on favor per shrine.  Before that was put into place, you could earn ridiculous XP by donating all day long, leveling up at a frenetic pace.  Given that the game isn't built out that far, it needed a brake.  I don't see the harm in this brake.

  • I completely agree with the EXP Cap totally, but at the same time, I'm one of those players that just donates donates donates and it sucks to have to keep traveling & keep track of which shrines I can donate too and which I cant. Keep the exp cap, lose the favor cap, its all going towards the same thing anyway (Either an emblem or faster learning) and faster learning maxes out at 50%
