Not every MMO includes deities, religions, and faith in their universes, but some do to varying degrees. I’ve seen games that weave such institutions into the lore, while other MMOs go even further by allowing your character to pledge allegiance to a certain god or goddess and enjoy special bonuses and quests from them.
If you had to pick — and you do, oh you do — which MMORPG has the best religious system and why? The Guild Wars series always impressed me with its detailed and diverse pantheon of deities, although I would probably have to tip my hat to EverQuest II for allowing your character to discover and convert to a certain religion over the course of his or her journey.
Pray tell, have you got the old time MMO religion?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
