I Think I Have Some Fluffy Unsettling Feelings That Shouldn't Be There For Such A Character, But Slices

hi! just played the demo and thought it was really interesting! (sol already owns my heart 🥺) but i have a few questions if you don't mind: 1. can you briefly explain the difference between the different origins? do you get different stats? 2. what is the general opinion on people who don't follow a religion? 3. is there gonna be a huge consequence if we choose to not follow a god (since the game's title is "faith of gods")? (1/2)

(2/2) 4. who of the ros are religious and what's their opinion of an atheist mc? sorry for the questions, i'm just really interested in your game and can't wait for more! 💕

Hi! Thank you !! And I’m happy to answer any questions, so don’t worry lol

Sol and Flor are both religious, but in different ways, and they both struggle with their faith.

Sol’s reasons are a spoiler to their character arc, but they’re faithful only in the sense that they believe the gods to exist. Beyond that, they’re lost. An atheist MC, a faithful one, neither would have any impact on Sol’s view of them. The MC is who they are.

Flor, however, was not only raised to follow the faith, but their father is one of the Saints to the High Priestess, and they’ve lived a large part of their life in Dirth’kinai, which is the birthplace of the human faith. Religion is a big part of their history, even if how they feel on it is muddled. As for an atheist MC, they would admire one, as they seem to have a much clearer outlook on life than they do.

Khiita is religious, too, but she doesn’t follow the faith of the human countries (Mydras/Sedruadal/Astium). An MC being atheist isn’t something she would fully understand, as in her mind, the gods are very much real & tangible things. It’s something she would ultimately be fine with, when she got over her confusion.

Cían isn’t religious, and has never much cared for it, both of which are rare things for the noble families of Mydras. He’d be more at ease around an atheist MC than an overly devout one.

What is the general opinion on people who don’t follow a religion?

It varies depending on the country you’re from/in.

In Mydras, being nonreligious is a big deal, as Mydras is where the faith was founded, and most people there are religious in some sense. A nonreligious native of the country is thought to be on the path to corruption, and are either shamed or shunned. Those not from Mydras (but still nonreligious) are typically just avoided, as it’s a ‘lesser offense’.

In Astium it’s a big deal as well, but only in the capital or the larger trade cities, which have stronger ties to Mydras than the outer towns. You won’t be shamed for it, but you’ll definitely be the subject of gossip within the Court.

In Sedruadal, it’s a nonissue. It might get some eyebrow raises or surprise in the border cities but for the most part, it’s much more commonplace. Worship tends to be either nonexistent, fall to the Sedrulish Ascended only (Kreia/Oxanah/Goem), or fall to the spirits that guard the land.

Is there gonna be a huge consequence if we choose not to follow a god?

Not in the way you might think. Choosing to have no faith sets you on a separate path, but all roads lead to the end, if that makes sense. It is something that will have an impact on how Chapter Two goes, but the same applies to being faithful and what god you follow.

Can you briefly explain the difference between the different origins? Do you get different stats?

TLDR; it effects flavor text, (some) available choices, and starting stats. It doesn’t affect the game endings, just how you get there.

It’s mentioned briefly here, but essentially, the origins set you on mini-branches at certain points in the game, as well as have an impact on the flavor text of a lot of scenes.

A good example of what changes is the “home dream” at the end of the Prologue. You still do the same things in each one (decide your appearance and gender), and the ending is still the same, but the atmosphere varies greatly.

Smaller details about the MC change as well. Myd!MCs are a single child with a mother and father; Sed!MCs have an older sister, a younger sibling, and two mothers; Ast!MCs have two older sisters and an eldest brother, and their only parent is their dad. Ast!MCs have traveled all over Astium, whereas Myd!MCs have never left Dirth’kinai, and Sed!MCs have never seen the ocean.

Some choices are locked behind an origin. Ast!MCs are the only ones who can have dyed hair, while Sed!MCs are the only ones able to have ash blonde/white hair. Myd!MCs can have a unique history with one of the ROs, Flor, so there’s also that.

Some NPC interactions/reactions are dependent on your origin choice, too, but this is something more minor. In Chapter One, there are characters you can talk to, and who you get depends on your origin.

As for stats: yes, it does!

Mydras MCs have a small starting boost to magic, dexterity, and tact. They also have a boost to their starting relationship with Flor.

Sedruadal MCs have a small starting boost to dexterity, strength, will, and cunning. They also have a boost to their relationship with Sol.

Astium MCs have a larger starting boost in magic and knowledge. They also have a boost to their starting relationship with Khiita.

I think I got everything, but if something needs to be clarified, feel free to ask!
