Dark Ages Religion
Interactive, integrated. For example: The game's logo, an octagram, is the
Rosetta Stone for the religious relationships.

Religion was a godsend. Players play it as well as I could hope. It's a
rare moment of a feature increasing role-playing, including player-held mass
worship services, temple services, and religious taboos (e.g., don't wear
shoes in the Nature god's shrine!).
The biggest variation (so altogether very minor) is that the gods are
Roman-ized. They appear some player stories in stories and do Jove like
actions (see literature). I intended gods in the way H.P. Lovecraft
intended his Earth Gods in his Dreamlands series, and brewed with Gaelic
flavor.
