Religion

(This is the description for the 3. 0 Version. For the 2.x Versions, look at the LE Page)

This mod adds an entirely new role-playing game system that allows you to pray, worship, or otherwise invoke the deities that watch over Tamriel.

Your actions, including the choices you make during quests; how you approach combat; your crimes, both noticed and unnoticed; what groups of people you've allied with, and which you've become enemies of; the spells you learn, the weapons you use, the armor you wear; the time of day, month, or year you spend worshipping, all of that will determine how the deities perceive you: as either virtuous, sinful, amusing, curious, or boring, which will determine whether or not they decide to aid you in your adventure, or if they decide to punish you.

Currently, you can pray to and worship the Nine Divines, the 16 Daedric Lords, the 13 Constellations, and several other Ancient Spirits, including Sithis, Magnus, Y'ffre, the All-Maker, Ebonarm, and racial Ancestors. Below I detail how these deities behave, how they will judge you, and what gifts they can bestow upon you.

You will interact with all the deities through either a shrine, or through a lesser power that deity gifted you. The lesser power is granted through a vision, see below. You will either be able to Start Worship, Ask for Guidance, or Ask for a Boon. Divines will also give you the option to repent for your sins, and Daedric Princes will give you the option to ask that they remove one of their gifts from you. The Constellations behave much differently, see below.

Worshiping or praying to a deity will slowly increase their disposition towards you. The amount of in-game time you spend at a shrine will determine your disposition (remember, you can press T to wait and pass in-game time). You can increase how effective your worship is by wearing equipment related to the deity you are worshiping, and worshiping in locations related to that deity. However, it will still likely take several in-game weeks of worship to make any significant progress with a deity, so you are expected to worship your deity while you are on your holy/heretic adventures, rather than replacing your quests outright. Remember, your actions will always outweigh your words.

Asking a deity for guidance will increase the chances you will receive a vision from them in the following nights. Like worship, this can be more effective if you are in the right place, or you are wearing the right equipment. Additionally, reading books related to that deity, or visiting locations associated with that deity, will also increase your chances of receiving a vision. These visions will give you clues on how to please your patron deity, and might even lead you to some vanilla quests. Additionally, you may be granted a lesser power through a vision that allows you to worship your
