What do prophecies do?

[MeltedLemonade]

Sometimes I get a "prophecy fulfilled" message, from what I understand it's whatever the game thinks I'm most likely to choose. I just wonder if there's any benefit to choosing it?

[The Queen Salis]

No, it's not that - in the game there are "prophecies" which are basically minor achievements.
"Get every possible boon of that god" and stuff like that.
When you see the "fulfilled" message it just means you made progress in completing these tasks.

The game doesn't THINK you're likely to choose anything, it doesn't study you like that, sorry. And the benefit is progress on minor achievements that will give you some goodies when you redeem them.

You chose to buy the "fated list of minor prophecies", viewable in your room. That message is simply telling you you made progress in an objective on the list.
