Talk:God

I redirected GoD to here (instead of to gauntlets of dexterity). I thought that it would be more confusing to have God and GoD point to different places, possibly because I am sometimes an Oberin player. --Kernigh 06:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Linking god names

I just reverted an edit that added links to all god names. I don't think an article can be written of any of them. The archeologist gods are currently redirects to archeologist, which is in my opinion a reasonable idea. --ZeroOne 23:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Catharsis

"In every NetHack game, the role of your adventurer determines the set of gods that the game uses, which is completely absurd." I can't argue with this, but it's still really funny. As an addendum, if you are a Priest, you worship someone else's gods at random, which is almost worse. --Mogri 19:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I know. IMO, ADOM and Crawl have much better religion systems. Heck, Angband has a better religion system! In fact, I've been trying to use my rudimentary (read: I have less than the average watermelon) C skills to re-implement the old "race" classes, as well as add a few new features. Any tips would be welcome. --Kahran042 12:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Refresh my memory on whom you worshipped prior to 3.4.0? I started playing over ten years ago but I can't remember the old religion system. Legacy info like this would be good on the God page and related pages as well. --Mogri 18:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, list of racial gods prior to 3.4.0 (preceding underscore indicates a goddess):

• -Elves: Solonor Thelandira (L), _Aerdrie Faenya (N), Erevan Ilesere (C) (in SLASH'EM, chaotic elves are considered drow, and hence worship _Lolth.)
• And, for the racial classes in SLASH'EM:
• -Dwarves: Moradin (L), Dumathoin (N), Abbathor (C)
• -Gnomes: Garl Glittergold (L), Flandal Steelskin (N), Urdlen (C)
• -Hobbits: I forgot the L and N gods, but the C god is Morgoth, and I'm pretty sure that the other two are from Middle-Earth, too.
• -Lycanthropes: Eluvian (L), Moon (N), Lycanthus (C)
• -Dopplegangers: same as Cavemen
• Finally, prior to the implementation of the race system, Orcs and Vampires were unplayable in SLASH'EM, but I at least have an idea as to an Orc pantheon:
• -Orcs: Ilneval (L), Yurtus (N), Gruumsh (C)

Hope this helps, and thanks for asking. As my profile says, my specialties are older versions and SLASH'EM, so...yeah. --Kahran042 22:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

And humans still worshipped based on profession? --Mogri 00:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
