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.
