    They kind of take everything they can find here and there from european culture, I mean they made the elves french (lets be honest…lol) and they are crazy for germans because of the blue eyes/blond hair combo because to them its exotic. You’ll notice this in anime and plenty of other games from Japan.


    My take from that quest was that well…Elpis is kind of based on the garden of Eden in certain aspects so they made the paissa be the “tempting” snake.

    I tried to just brush past that quest and not think about it anymore and this was just my opinion, I don’t know if they had any reasoning behind or not.
    Ty for being kind, I really appreciate it my friend.

    I know I'll get mocked for this post but I don't care, I stand unapologetically for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he died for our sins so that mankind can be redeemed and go to heaven and all we have to do is believe, The Gospel saved me & can save others from eternal damnation, plus other stuff but I'm trying to be as brief as I can & not write a book when I post lol.

    A metal head are u? , I enjoy all forms of music, as far as Metal my favorite is Megadeth, did u know Dave Mustaine got saved to.
    Imagine being scared of a number because some cracked up cultists told you so.

    This is a game and I have not come across this quest yet. Sometimes a number is just a number. However, since it was brought up…

    What does the number 666 really mean according to the Bible?
    According to the last book in the Bible, 666 is the number, or name, of the wild beast with seven heads and ten horns that comes out of the sea. (Revelation 13:​1, 17, 18) This beast is a symbol of the worldwide political system, which rules over “every tribe and people and tongue and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) The name 666 identifies the political system as a gross failure in God’s sight. How?

    More than a label.
    Names given by God have meaning. For example, God gave the man Abram, which means “Father Is High (Exalted),” the name Abraham, which means “Father of a Crowd (Multitude),” when God promised that He would make Abraham “a father of many nations.” (Genesis 17:5, footnotes) Likewise, God named the beast 666 as a symbol of its defining attributes.

    The number six implies imperfection.
    Often, numbers are used as symbols in the Bible. Seven typically represents completeness or perfection. Six, being one short of seven, can denote something incomplete or flawed in God’s eyes, and it can be associated with God’s enemies.​—1 Chronicles 20:6; Daniel 3:1.

    Three times for emphasis.
    The Bible sometimes stresses a matter by stating it three times. (Revelation 4:8; 8:​13) So the name 666 powerfully emphasizes that God views human political systems as gross failures. They have been unable to bring lasting peace and security​—things that only God’s Kingdom will achieve.

    The mark of the beast
    The Bible says that people receive “the mark of the wild beast” because they follow it “with admiration,” to the point of worshipping it. (Revelation 13:​3, 4; 16:2) They do this by giving worshipful honor to their country, its symbols, or its military might. As The Encyclopedia of Religion states: “Nationalism has become a dominant form of religion in the modern world.”

    How is the mark of the beast placed on someone’s right hand or forehead? (Revelation 13:16) Regarding his commands to the nation of Israel, God said: “Bind them as a reminder on your hand, and they should be like a headband on your forehead.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) This meant, not that the Israelites were to mark their literal hands and foreheads, but that God’s words would guide all their actions and thoughts. Likewise, rather than being something literal such as a 666 tattoo, the mark of the beast symbolically identifies those who let the political system rule their lives. Those with the mark of the beast place themselves in opposition to God.​—Revelation 14:​9, 10; 19:19-​21.

    So not to worry excessively about the number itself. Be more concerned about what it represents in a Biblical context. But just the number is not going to hurt you. It is just a number.

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
