Haha, well yeah, I think that may be the majority but we’ve also gotten some pretty hate-filled, profanity-laced emails. We’ve literally been called “gay” for not including churches… even though we have never actually said we didn’t plan on adding religion or definitely weren’t adding churches.
It’s honestly been up in the air and we’re fairly surprised people are flipping out about it, considering the game is in early-access and obviously not finished.
BUT, that said, the game evolved from my originally thinking it might take place during the dark / early middle ages - original buildings were concepted with a distinctly Norse theme but then we felt like maybe that was over-done after some other releases / announcements. I also shifted the time period later / made it very ambiguous so that we could include later technology / economy to make the game more interesting. So again, it is not really supposed to be set in a specific time or place. It could even take place in the world of Grim Dawn, before the Aetherials… we talked about potentially adding a GD monster enemy DLC later.
So, I don’t know, some form of religion is coming. I don’t think it has to include churches and that’s not really where I was leaning but maybe we’ll include an option since so many people have expressed interest.
