wish i knew the forgotten realms lore better...how am i meant to make my little ocs in this state of ignorance
#i'm so interested in how people relate to the gods in this world which is sort of hard to glean from the wiki
#thinking abt those notes in the ilmater temple - 'even bhaal has things to teach us ๐๐' otoh but the absolute cult is 'heresy'
#like who decides that? what does heresy /mean/ in this polytheistic setup where each god's cult seems to p much do their own thing
#& it seems like even among the good-aligned gods ppl tend to pick one to hitch their wagon to in a pretty committed way
#what does polytheism mean to the average joe in this world
#i need to know
#i need to make a little guy about it
#wrapped up shadowheart's quest and....idk man!
#just going off the lore as presented in bg3 so far it's set up distrust for deities pretty much across the board
#like babe is your new cult better? bc they've got angel imagery? i guess so
#the whole problem of evil thing - the dead three shar et al being so extant & active in the world makes the (apparently?) more distant
#benevolence of good gods pretty limp by comparison
#so much of what draws lay people to them seems to be protection from the very real material threat posed by the evil ones?
#& at least SH is in a better place to choose than say. the goblins
#vast swathes of people just born under a bad sign in this world
#i heard somewhere that if you don't get a god to claim your soul for their afterlife it just kind of withers away in limbo for eternity?
#kinda fucked up
#some protection racket shit dude
#being a mortal in FR like you're just a little guy in a precarious cosmological situation aren't u
#to be clear none of this is a criticism i think it's very fun & chewy
#rife with cosmic horror potential
#bg3
#bg3 spoilers
#edit: i mean it's a little bit of a criticism in that i don't think the game sells SH's conversion super well
#if the intention is just to be like. yay white-hat god good ^_^
#but i don't hate the worldbuilding implications if we take the iffiness as read
