My worry with Curse of Osiris - Religious themes?

Hey devs and guys! I was just going to buy the new expansion for destiny 2 today, but ended up reading about it a bit first. I went to eurogamer and it seemed really cool, but unfortunately I don't think I am going to buy it. The reason being that I don't like the religious themes which are being put in the game, ie. an "altar" where you will be rewarded with Vex weapon or some kind of "prophecies"/quests, where you also get gear. I know for others this might be a minor issue, but I just can't stand when religion gets put in game, where it plays no role - like a looter rpg which Destiny 2 is. Some of you might be able to figure my faith out from my battletag, but please, stay on topic of my worry - I might totally have misunderstood what was meant with altar/prophecies, so would love to hear more / discuss further - especially from a dev, but also anyone else.

  • I guess I'm not following your objection. I don't see how this "reglion" inspired theme in CoO impacts your right to practice your religion. If you or your religion can't make the distinction between what is a real religion and what is a fictious "religious" theme in a video game then maybe you shouldn't be playing videogames. I'll state here I'm not religious in any way but I support the right of others to practice theirs. If this was a game that made Muslims practice Christianity or vice versa then maybe you'd have a valid complaint. However, this is not the case. So your complaint has no merit.
