Does anyone pick evil religion when you don't have to?

[eqravenprince]

The thread about rare race/class combos got me thinking about this. Does anyone pick an evil religion when they have a choice of a good religion. I've done it a few times just out of curiousity... never tested it out thoroughly to see if it allowed me to go into Neriak or what not.

How many evil human/erudite/gnome wizards, magicians, enchanters, clerics, or warriors (not erudite) are out there. I think that is all the class choices that have both good and evil choices for religion. Not sure if Half Elves can be evil or not.

Just curious if there is anyone that likes the extra challenge and to be super rare. Not that anyone is going to know what god you worship.

ive considered making a tribunal bard once lol. or a bertloqulus human warrior

[notahipster]

tribunal isnt really evil but i guess its an odd choice? for a bard.

i had a troll shaman of innoruk , but the only reason was the clickable snare neck :P

[Extunarian]

I suppose if you went evil half-elf warrior you could wear the evil imbued armor, like the innoruk-imbued DE cultural armor. That would be...different.

Troll shaman has to pick an evil religion. I think he's talking about "good" race/class combos who are able to pick "evil" gods. Like a half-elf warrior picking Bertoxxulous.

nah if am am able to pick agnostic i do... religion just makes things harder lol...

Human cleric of innoruk is pretty cool. A good friend was one on fennin back in the day.

I have a wood elf warrior who follows Rallos Zek.

[guineapig]

Rallos Zek is technically not evil. He is the god of war and it just makes sense for a warrior to worship Rallos Zek regardless of the race.

My halfling warrior on live worshipped RZ. Actually all my characters on live picked deities based on how I would RP them. Never ended up doing much RP but by the time Luclin was out Religion faction hits became more or less a non-issue.

[Xenephex]

This is not exactly the same thing because there's really no choice of religion per se, but I had an Iksar years ago on EQ that became non-kos almost everywhere. I rolled another Iksar here just for the challenge of seeing if I could do the same thing.

I'm never going to play enough to be on the leading edge on this server, so little challenges like factioning are just something else to do.

It's as close to evil as ya can choose as a wood elf tho. You get Karana & Tunare or Agnostic as your only other choices.

Maybe I'll make a Gnome Cleric follower of Bertox just to be different.

Funny that you mention this. My gnome cleric was a bertox worshiper on live! ;)

That could be fun...probably not a lot of humans with the snare clicky necklace.

[Harm]

That snare clicky really isn't that good due to the long cast time and unable to be clicked out of inventory. I had a dark elf cleric back in the day for two boxing purposes and I was underwhelmed with it.

That said I'm currently playing a human wizard and I strongly considered going with Innoruuk. But I caved and went Sol Ro due to faction fears. Still didn't go agnostic tho.

My main back in the day was a human shadowknight (Inny) so I've already experienced the "neutral race - evil diety" thing. It actually opens more doors than it closes, I could walk around everywhere but Grobb, Ogguk, and Cabilis with minimal faction work, most of the time without any faction work at all.

I think the most unusual choice of all would be a half-elf with an evil religion (not Rallos Zek either, but Innoruuk for example). Because half-elf is generally regarded as a good race. I'm pretty sure none of the other "good" races can choose an evil deity, assuming you count gnomes as neutral and not good.

[Knuckle]

Human Warrior with Innoruuk is glowering to neriak, at least it was on vztz 3.0. Quite handy.

[Darian]

Furor was a human warrior worshipping Innoruuk.

Don't be like Furor.

Is Fierce Heraldic Velious or later? I can't remember.

It takes infused items, which require celestial tempers/essences, and those are post-luclin I believe.

[Kharzette]

I had a half elf warrior of Innoruuk on live with a set of the imbued plate. Could go anywhere in neriak except for the fatty bits of the foreign quarter if I remember correctly.

[Foxx]

i have never even looked at the tab for gods when i made a char, and just accepted the default one whatever it happens to be on


p.s ur a nerd

Amazing, not once huh? I find that hard to believe. I suppose you take the default face/gender too. Even to this day knowing that religion to a large degree makes no difference, I still read the full description of the religion and pick accordingly. I have a different mindset and sometimes even playstyle based on my characters religion.

[Ennoia]

If I can pick Innoruuk (and since I only ever play Dark Elves, I always can) then I do.

Its Luclin. There is cultural armor in Velious, the first round of it, but it isn't the good stuff people remember.

Oh yeah you may notice something familiar about some of those armors:
