religion, video games 

I don't like it when video games have Gods in them - and I especially don't like it when you're obliged to be a worshiper of one

@lizardsquid Any idea what bothers you about it?

I found it odd how they're treated as actually existing and powerful, while being completely insular by region/people. The best example I can think of for what I'm talking about is when I played Runescape years ago: The gods have followers everywhere and bestow powers to followers, but then you wander off into a desert and suddenly there's an entirely different pantheon. Also none of them seem to actually compete ever.

@BatElite @lizardsquid That's kind of how ancient religions worked, though. The Romans believed that the Egyptian gods existed to the same degree that they believed the Roman gods existed, they just were the gods of different people.

Ancient religion didn't really work the same way as modern ones.
