No... Loviatar is around since the time of disorders.
No shit. As a lesser deity. English.

You talk of not understanding the setting and you don't get that?
Dosn't matter if is a lesser deity or not. Your criticism comes from personal bias of your personal taste or value that should not have nothing to do with a setting with its own customs and traditions. You make something about morality inside a FICTIONAL context. And you go on attempting to do gaslighting instead of having a mature conversation. I stated my point and i called what you said bullshit providing quotes and info of the source material proving you wrong.

Seethe,Cope,Dilate.

Also she is not a lesser deity for your information but an intermediate one.

It does, since that's the post you responded to. You clearly didn't understand the distinction between "lesser" and "greater" and thought I was saying she wasn't a deity. Then you said she's only been around since the time of troubles, which isn't true.

You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about, or even what I'm saying, yet here you are blabbing your fat mouth. Typical.

No you are just are an idiot want a proof? The link i provided actually tells you what rank the divinity is and you even didin't bother to look. So again before opening your mouth make sure to be informed.

Edit:
The rank of a divinity merely represent the number of followers of a God. Being a lesser good dosn't mean for the followers to be rare to be spotted. You also have demigods or spirits in the case of Rashemen that are worshipped as Gods.

The fights are easy if you're trying even a little bit. Especially since the good path has you likely to have killed the drider already.

You fight the drider at the end if you didnt kill him earlier? That's actually pretty cool. Hopefully the definitive edition cleans up the final act, it was basically my only issue with the game.

act1 = 10/10
act 2 = 8/10
act 3 = 3/10

What are you even talking about, you dumb old bitch? :lol:

You linked a wiki. It doesn't show a rank for 5E, it shows intermediate for 4E and it shows a lesser rank for the other editions. That's why I'm saying they've increased her importance for 5E.

Edit: oh I see, they're relying on the intermediate link under her name for 5E and just omit it for Basic information. Shitty wiki.
So again before opening your mouth make sure to be informed.
She says, still unable to understand English.

And?... You realize the rank is just how much followers a God has right? Has nothing to do with importance of said God this is just something you came out yourself. I always said the rank is not relevant. Loviatar in past was an ally of Bhaal to then become ally of Bane around the third edition and you wonder why you find a Loviatar cleric in the goblin camp? Was not even this what we were talking about. You argue that Loviatar cleric acted like a BDSM bait character. Loviatar is all about bringing and having pain what did you expect? Are you really this dense?
You clearly don't know the setting. Like at all. All you care is the game dosn't care about your agenda and makes you furious.

You just lost an argument and now you are attempting to derail it or use insults and teasing in order to don't feel bad with yourself lol.

Almost sounds like the reason why I was defending Larian for including them now that she's no longer a lesser deity as of 4th Edition. :roll:

If a deity has more followers in a setting, they're more important in the setting. That's an objective fact.
and you wonder why you find a Loviatar cleric in the goblin camp?
I wonder why they have this weird faggot waiting there for the player for this cringe bsdsm scene. I said repeatedly that even if it's defensible to include them, make an effort.

But this is Bear Sex 3, so that's clearly expecting too much.
You argue that Loviatar cleric acted like a BDSM bait character.
And not just him, but Loviatar herself and the whole cult in general. Always has been. But including him specifically and doing it in this way is only for BDSM bait. Like DP said, you could have left it out and nothing of value would be lost. And you could have tried to elevate the writing above this weird scene. But no.
You clearly don't know the setting.
She says, not understanding the difference between a demigoddess, a lesser deity and an intermediate one.

Dragonborn still got the most lame-ass dialogue options.
E: Then again they are a lame-ass addition to the setting with little characterization to begin with so joke's on me.

They got the "I don't need to poop." dialog, yeah.
All they have is "They're kinda honorable and autistic about topics they like, kinda, maybe?" and "They don't like dragons" (Another thing Larian didn't understand, because they added Bahamut and Tiamat as diety choices when it's stated that DB hate dragons so much they even refuse to worship dragon gods.)

If a deity has more followers in a setting, they're more important in the setting. Otherwise they're just a small cult.

Now you are clearly inventing in many cases lesser deity utterly destroyed a divinity in FR heck even not deities managed to do that. Is not about power or importance is about followers. The lady of pain in sigil has no followers she dosn't want followers but her alone is way more powerful of all the deities of FR combined this is why there are no temples in Sigil the only temple that was present was one of the God of Portal that the Lady of Pain annhiliated in a blink of an eye.

But in a more serious note Loviatar was around from the first editions is not for BDSM bait Loviatar was always involved both with Bhaal and in Bane and since were the ones of the Absolute to contact the cleric to go there to train the goblin in the art of torture make perfect sense why is there. You are only butthurt because the game dosn't comform to your "Values" and instead of a good kids version of Faerun it actually show Faerun how it truly was meant by his creator. You scream about degeneracy but that material was always there scattered around past editions as well and i tell you again in case is not clear for you. The old Bg were "Tame" because were meant for an audience at the time that was "Mainly kids".

Huh? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I'm talking about importance from a writing perspective. This is all about writing and game design.

She says, after previously saying she was only around since the Time of Troubles. Real setting expert here.

Makes perfect sense. They are slavers. She wants you to have something to do with them. She wants you to kill them.

What doesn't make sense is that she makes perfect sense, for a woman.

I got a chuckle when you first meet her in the cage.

After getting rid of the Tielflings she demands you let her out. One of the dialogues you can choose is, "Can I get a 'please'?"

Her flat "no" and dialogue ending was based. Respect.

Well if we are talking about writing i can tell you something i always disliked Mystra. She is basically a Mary Sue and a bitch that always gets what she wants handles her elects like a dirty shred of cloth and then if they finally FINALLY manage to kill her she always return. I hate her with passion.

Is the Lady of Pain a deity? Nobody knows what she is the only fact we know is that she turned to dust a deity in a blink of the eye. She dosn't want worshippers if someone worship her she will appear and shred the person on the spot not even moving or will imprison the person in an endless maze of her own creation. Gods avoid sigil because of her.

"She says, after previously saying she was only around since the Time of Troubles. Real setting expert here." ...are you really so dense?

Dude you are one that comes in a thread of a game he dislike to cry about degeneracy and things were ALWAYS in the setting even before the first edition the stuff was always there. In manuals or in novels. The only difference were the games because again they were made "For kids" so some content was watered down.
Read the novels, Faith an pantheon of the 3.5 edition. Is all there scattered around even in older edition. I am telling you all the things you cry about are old news.

Yup. And fucks her followers. What a shock that Larian tied her so closely to the campaign.

Gale announcing he was Mysta's lover was basically him admitting he's a cuck because she sleeps with everyone. What must those threesomes with Elminster have been like?

"She says, after previously saying she was only around since the Time of Troubles. Real setting expert here." ...are you really so dense?
You're the one who said it... :lol:

*Things that have been magnified in the setting since Wizard's took over. This is why I was saying that it's not entirely Larian's fault for including Loviatar, but as DP said, they made the choice to include her, and in the most low-effort, fetish bait way possible.

This is retreading past posts though.
