Set Antidote unfair.

[Boulderkin]

Ok so call me a romantic, a fool, an idiot, you would probably be right, but my god, why is adoring the last god I would worship the ONLY way to get the antidote? That is so unfair for the player; have some kind of exchange vendor at Sepemeru or something for Pete's sake, but don't force the player to do something he/she would never do just to get a crucial item... or at least crucial for me. I Single Play; people scare the hell out of me, and I have never felt so fulfilled and happy with a game than with Conan (If you are your own admin; omg bugs galore), but I roleplay on my own, weave my own stories and set my game according to the character of my character (pardon redundancy). I am a Nordheimer and I love to drink alcoholic brews, yet I can't; I am not going to build a temple to a god I despise... hell, if I so much as see a Stygian Set worshiper I slay it with joy, just to be worthy of a potion. My god is Mitra, that is who I am. I abhor human sacrifice, slay the wicked and protect those who cannot protect themselves, and blah blah blah, and yes, there are alternative ways of playing, I could just destroy my immersion factor, I could easily overlook the storyline in my head... but that is unnecessary, in my view. Putting something as important as an Antidote as a god-exclusive item is unfair to those that in turn wish to exterminate said cult.

I don't wish to hear alternatives or silly workarounds, I simply want access to a very important item without having to break the storyline in my head. Yes, I can change the storyline, but I am not the type to rip hearts out and offer them sheepishly to the most hideous representation of a deity in the game.

Not expecting anything to change, it just pisses me off the way this is set up; no other god has an item that valuable, and I think it is a bad design choice. Again, just pissed off.

The violet curative works too, no religion required, just an alchemy bench and some venom glands.

The "value" in religion consumables is basically a hold over from a much earlier version of the game, back in the old days mitra used to offer the best early game healing item, bandages didn't exist and aloe required fire bowl, yog offered the best food without needing a stove and so on. religion stuff can be chosen on character creation, so you have access to those options much earlier, but there are similar or better items further into the knowledge tree for pretty much every religion consumable.

Thank you, that's what I needed to know, and... the catch?

there is also coruption ... 60% of max hp for imunity to poison.
can be canonised as curse and gift from god in your story.
