But for the good side it feels like the gods were just randomly picked out of a hat with no thought given to the selection whatsoever.
Oh yeah ! I said earlier that
I want to believe that the list of deities that went into EA v1 was a combination of :
- Some deities Larian really wanted to have in the game for EA roleplay purposes. Notably, Shar and Selune.
- A random mix of the rest to give a bit more options. And I mean, literally random.
I want to believe that the current list is really just a placeholder, and that we'll get a much fuller list eventually. I know. It feels weird. When I'm not thinking about combat rules and Larian's communication, I find myself being somewhat optimistic. Anyway, I don't think they favour evil. I'm sure they're aware that most players will play good, at least at first (and most people won't even finish their first playthrough), and I hope (...) that they realise that their evil path isn't exactly award-worthy. I think it's just a random selection of gods.
