#### Favor Frustration

Okay, here's the thing: Either one's relationship with the Giants should be mysterious OR it should be relatively straightforward.
Right now, it's just annoying. You have to visit each shrine to find out where you stand with each individual giant. You have to do aggravating mathematics to figure out how your donations will translate into favor. It's an irritating combination of opaque and cumbersome.
It isn't cool or mysterious, it's just a PITA.
So, I propose that we have either:
1) Clarity. Give us a readout on our favor with each giant that is up-to-date, including how much is needed to the next emblem. Give us a way to easily see the amount of favor a donation will yield with the current EHSP or FHSP status.
OR
2) Mystery. Randomize the favor value of donations. Randomize the favor value needed for the next emblem. DON'T show us progress toward those emblems. Make it less mathy and more metaphysical.
The current system is the worst of both worlds, hiding stuff that CAN be calculated, thus creating make-work that's just an extra step.

- I also hate how you can't see which giants have emblems ready to collect.

- I agree. Difficulty by obscurity is the least fun.
  I'd say there are lots of this in the game, like the ghosts and the DNA quests, where you have just to go everywhere looking attentively around, without clues, or preferred zones, or some cold-hot signal, or something to do with your skills, your level, etc.
  Something similar happens with many badges: why can I not know how many more jumps or cherries or (fill the blanks) I need for my next badge? And so on.
