Im making suggestions on how to improve the game for those who like a greater level of immersion. Conan is a survival game. Restrictions on various aspects create challenges. I think that’s what makes a game a game, and will keep people coming back for more. No challenge and it’s just a sandbox. I suggest various servers for various player types.
What? Immersion by locking away choices?

I’m only on xbox. No mods means little variety. Various servers with adjustable server settings would be awesome.
Just because the devs have the ability to make all things available at once, doesn’t mean they should. They do this to keep the fps crowd playing conan I’m guessing. (Meteors that give away legendary repair kits?). At some point they’ll max out attribute points. As for locking away religions, no one said you can’t renounce them and reset those points to be applied to other ones.
(No way to obtain legendary repair kits otherwise because the game is bugged)

Immersion is an important aspect of the game for me. Not only common sense physics, but certain cultural and religious elements found in Howard’s Hyboria. I’m obviously not a Conan lore expert, especially since the copywrite holders can add whatever they want, but there are some basic ideas that should transfer to this game. Religion being among the most important. Devote Yog worshippers eat non Yog worshippers, Set worshippers cut the hearts out of non set worshipers (and are forbidden to kill any snake) Mitra worshipers are intolerant of the wicked. Players being able to worship Mitra and gain his blessings while also being an adept follower of Set, is absurd. No doubt polytheism was in the lore for the other Gods, not included in the game, and no doubt people recognised and believed in the existence of Gods other than their own… but that shouldn’t entitle them to be able to summon a God as a devout worshipper of the religion should.
Only thing I want out of Crom, is dinky altar that does nothing…except count for journal entry, and allow me to pray for no reason for 2nd journal entry. LOL
Or a method to get it back…
As for some of counters* Its Exile Lands, so some of rules of religions, (sets dont harm snakes, yog dont eat yog worshipers) kinda fall out window in this lands.
Thats how I see it.
Good point.
Another thing that could be done is a debuff of sorts such as Mitra worshippers receive half or even less of sets religious resources when harvesting hearts. Everyone gets all religions but receive the gods’ jealousies when worshipping opposing religions. It makes room for any follow on religions, which there are still plenty, and can simply done by applying tags for who opposes who.

I’ve thought of something how would they lock parts of religions away and/or debuff multiple religion play? When in a clan it counts as clan owned not individual so would an entire clan suffer for this? Even if a tag was applied for who created it if that individual left the clan the tag would need to be removed. That is some coding that’s needs to be done and that takes a long time appearently for funcom. Sorry funcom still sour over the multiple non-fixes to Ai and broken purges.
There already some tags in place I think.
Example, if your Crom, and use admin panel slap on down, it does nothing. You need to find NPC or pay 50 points.
See, like they can easly adjust it to limit one per-player and not clan.
You still have issue of, clan of 12, having 4 peeps in 3 religions and able pull out 3 gods.
Lore wise, iffy iffy
Gameplay/Lore… kinda have live with it.
Gameplay wise, ya on unfair side. XD
Increasing cost only harms solo/small clans and larger ones will still do it easy. (most methods are face rolling new asgard as a group in circles. XD
The clan still claims your shrines so? Do you get it back in the middle of the courtyard or destroys itself? Ultimately the clans small or large claim shrines even outside their religions.
