In my country university is free, some have a test you have to pass because there are so many people that want to go, but those are law and medicine. And most people drop out in the first year.

Otherwise it’s not really an issue.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. My Starfinder lore is pretty lacking since I don’t play it.

If Shelyn is out, I don’t know where to place my bet, the rest seems equally likely to me.

Better yet, expand universities and allow everybody in.

Most of the core deities are in Starfinder, so I think we can discard them. Maybe they get revived or Starfinder is an alternate timeline but I’m not going to assume that.

That leaves 9 deities: Erastil, Gorum, Gozreh, Irori, Nethys, Norgorber, Rovagug, Shelyn, Torag.

I think some of those have explanations of why they aren’t in Starfinder. Torag I remember reading is guarding Golarion, wherever the planet is. Rovagug is either The Devourer or still inside Golarion. Gozreh is specifically a Golarion deity, so he/she is almost certainly still there. Erastil really doesn’t fit Starfinder setting, so I think he is still around, but probably the people that worship him are not traveling in starships. Gorum and Nethys seem to be like weird choises to kill off, I don’t think they are part of any current storyline and I can’t really see the god of magic that knows everything dying, same with the god of war though he might enjoy that. Similarly with Irori and Norgorber, I don’t think they dying would be dramatic enough.

So my bet is on Shelyn, it will probably involve Zon-Kuthon. And we already have the perfect replacement for the deity of art I think, Nocticula.

It’s not a problem for a videogame, but D&D5e (actually most D&D editions) is not a balanced game at all. In fact the only RPG that I’ve played and would call balanced is Pathfinder 2e.

So I was not expecting Baldur’s Gate to be balanced at all given it’s based on D&D5e.

I know, I was pointing out that it sounds like a total fantasy. I actually don’t believe people actually believe all that stuff, but it’s up there in yankeeland so what do I know.

I understand why conspirancy theories are popular, it is fun to me to think about them. But I don’t believe and the few interactions I had with conspiracy theorists online make me think they are all hard trolling or insane.

Gotta say, the second one does sounds more fun. Like we live in a d&d game or something.

You won’t be sedentary after a month of that though!

I was up into the 100s or 200s attempts when my controller broke lol. I’m bad at this game, but it’s fun.

Pants are for barbarians after all. Real, civilicedmen wear togas only. Chitons are acceptable but just barely.
