Poll: Do you worship a God in RPGs?

[AngryBritishAce]

Well, most RPGs have Gods, both "Good" and "Evil." Dragon Age had it, with the maker and demons in the fade, The Elder Scrolls have more gods then necessary, but I'll just say the Nine Divines and Daedric Princes for now, and even Fable TLC had Avo and Skorm. But to me, they always just seem to there just to "immerse" you more, and other than that I haven't paid much attension to them. But who acctually, as a part of their character role, have a god they would pray, worship or give blessing to.

For me, the gods have just been their in games to annoy me (anyone else hates those priests in Oblivion when you go to talk to them and they're like "PRAISE BE TO AKATOSH AND ALL HIS GLORY!!!") but if and when I do "worship" a god, it's always in Oblivion and always either on of these 3 "gods:"
*Sheogorath- for my funny characters
*Azura- for my good characters
*Nocturnal- for my thief characters

Since im Christain, nope, I say they are real but they are not gods (in game people) they are like people like Shaogorath or aka ME just people that have alot of power, hoepfully you can become pwerful in skyrim as well...

 

[Sticky Squid]

No, seems silly.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

No, but I've tried. I just can't seem to put the effort into it.

 

[C117]

Worship and worship... I follow them in order to get all the stuff they offer their followers.

 

[similar.squirrel]

No. I'm strongly anti-theistic, and wouldn't sully any character with the belief in an ultimate authority.

 

[Kud]

I praise Kamina for he is mighty.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

I believe in, and actively pray to, the RNG god.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

In Oblivion? Depends on my character. My Imperial Azuran Knight frequently prays at shrine, though his beliefs follow the Eight and One teachings of the Anvil Prophet. My Night Elf assassin however is partial to certain Daedric Deities. And because in reality I have no real God to curse upon (I try not to take the Lord's name in vain for the sake of my great grandparents) I instead use "By the Nine!"

I always found 'The Maker' in Dragon Age: Origins hilarious, mainly because that's what C-3PO uses to curse in the A New Hope.

In D&D my permanently drow characters worship Eilistraee.

while personally being anti-theistic in real life, I find it different when in a fictional world where the gods are real and this continues to be confirmed.

 

[Hunter15]

im a catholic so i usually believe in you guessed it...The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and i believe in the Greek gods if kratos is murdering them all GO VIOLENCE

 

[JWRosser]

I don't worship a God in real life....so it seems pretty bizarre to worship a video game God.

 

[AngryBritishAce]

Nope. I don't even worship a god in real life. Besides, Fallout doesn't have any deities to speak of.

What about the Church of Atom?

 

[EllEzDee]

I've honestly never cared.

 

[War Pony]

I don't so much worship them as I would continuously catch myself swearing by them in Dragon Age.

"By Andraste's soiled, flaming knickers don't STAND in the AoE!"

Shaogorath can immobilize you with his mind and teleport you to terminal velocity if you try to attack him. His entire realm is actually his own mind. Can you really say with a straight face that he is not a god, or is this just the blasphemy/ convert or die attitude from the church? This is a game not real life, but the church does get butt hurt over anything that questions their one "true" god don't they?

OT- If I were to worship a god from a game it would be.... wow I really don't have that many games with gods in them. Um, I would have to say Malacath.

Malacath is the Daedric prince whose sphere is the patronage of the spurned and ostracized, the keeper of the Sworn Oath, and the Bloody Curse.

Here is a good link to all the Elder Scroll's gods.

A nuclear bomb isn't a god.

 

[Gigano]

Nope, worshipfulness is not part of my character neither here in the real world nor any fictional character I would ever identify with.

It's close enough in the Fallout universe.
