#GODS the herald is so cool I cannot WAIT for all the new vh watchers to see it

hey as someone that understands jack shit about the vault hunters and also the god stuff you mentioned????? I've been watching hcvh bc i like watching interactions would you please elaborate on your recent post?

SO! the vault gods! as a system, it’s changed multiple times over the history of vault hunters; in its current state the gods are probably at one of their least “distinct” from each other mechanically so it’s understandable if you haven’t picked up much of that. but.

vault hunters is watched over by the four vault gods: idona the malevolent, tenos the omniscient, velara the benevolent, and wendarr the timekeeper. they are the red one, the blue one, the green one, and the yellow one, respectively. idona watches over damage/killing/blood, tenos watches over looting/greed/knowledge, velara watches over healing/health/nature, and wendarr over mana/magic/time. throughout vault hunters, they have a presence in the world. they also, as of the version the hermits play, can grant players to a custom vault known as the “divine paradox”, and it appears they have something to do with the final boss as well…

during gameplay, you will come across altars in the vault. by clicking them, you get a challenge. completing an altar is how you show respect to a given god, and if you complete one, you get a benefit for the rest of the vault that depends on the god and a chance to earn favor with that god. if you fail, however, you get a very harsh penalty. you can only have up to 25 favor with the gods total; once you start to go over that total, gaining favor with one god randomly removes it from another.

so, with that knowledge: it’s interesting to me that iskall got a full 25 points of favor with velara, which is to say in flavor terms, he showed almost complete and total preference to honor velara over any other god, enough velara rewarded him with special armor. (he’s currently 2/0/23/0, at least as of his last episode.)

meanwhile, for contrast: etho also has 25 points of favor, but spread evenly as 6/7/6/6, with the 7 being towards tenos. he shows equal deference to every god.

false is at 2/10/4/2, showing a very clear favor towards respecting tenos. wels is 5/2/5/4, showing he is probably somewhat even with his worship but disfavors tenos for one reason or another. and stress is 1/0/0/0, showing that she didn’t have much time to get favor from the gods, but her worship has caught the attention of idona specifically. no one else has any favor at all; this is a system that favors players that go out of their way to include themselves in it, and not everyone has the time or desire to worship the gods.

and like. I don’t know. THIS IS FUN TO THINK ABOUT IN A CHARACTER SENSE, RIGHT,
