A religious system.

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!! I am not talking about the belief sliders those were to op i am talking about something else. Like lets say you had a farmer you could pray to a god of farming for farming buffs BUT!! If you did that you lose standing with the other gods

I mean, that's basically the same concept as belief sliders. You gain a buff in a specific field for a downside in the other one.

Yes the only difference is here you can't just switch back instantly but yes it is very similar to belief sliders.

The only way I can see this working is if you can build shrines or temples to gods of certain things in order to gain their buffs. That way you can get buffs for different skills, but also the shrines and temples should require items related the buff you receive. for instance, a farming shrine might need certain seeds or flowers or leaves, so that way you can be a jack of all trades, but it would be easier to only focus on one buff. also quality of items used to build shrines should influence shrine quality wich affects how effective the buff is

Even the slider is taking some days to switch.

I was thinking of alters and stutues but actually yeah shrines would also be cool and you can't unlock the recipe for the shrine unless you have a certain standing with your god and if you lose too much standing then you stop being able to get buffs.

Some days is pretty quick i was thinking that it would take like 90 days in order to go from full standing with one god to full standing with another.

Do you (or anyone) know reasoning for removal of slider from beginning with? It seems to me this system is basically more detailed/complicated ''super-slider'' that does accomplish similar thing to gameplay.

Actually yes what i was hoping for was a "more complicated system that accomplishes a similar thing" because i thought that the belief sliders were op but still had potential and while i am glad they were removed i would like to see jorb and loftar not throw away the idea entirely. Basically i am looking for a belief slider that isn't easily changeable at all and isn't as op as in legacy. This i think could maybe possibly work... maybe.

The only way I can think of to resolve the issue with all-around characters is for standing with gods to be 0 by default, and negative standing will give debuffs. If you wanted, you could split your devotion between a number of gods, but this wouldn't increase your standing with them as much as complete devotion. Potentially, a hermit could worship all gods except the god of war to gain a slight all-around bonus.

Also, I think the buffs or debuffs granted by gods would be more chance-based, whereby the gods influence your fate rather than imbuing you with divine power.

Potentially, there could be a god for each ability.

I was thinking this exact thing EXCEPT i don't want debuffs. It will make a hermits life a living nightmare. Hermits shouldn't have to try and keep upkeep on all gods in order to remain viable. I don't think negative standing should give debuffs its purpose should just be to keep people from rapidly switching between gods.
