i saw no benefit to magic and just hit things with my stick endlessly for the first quarter of the game
i probably could have gone the whole way like that too
also the overworld is butt-ugly. I know the N64 isn't exactly known for it's amazing graphics but even back then it was kind of eye-searing.
Also you'd get constantly lost because everything looked the goddamn same and extremely frequent random battles would constantly turn you around, and your map was accessed via pause menu instead of on the bottom left corner or something like any other sane 3D game, and the camera constantly refused to cooperate, so you'd have to walk, hit fifty random encounters on the way, hope you didn't get turned around too badly, open your map, check to see if your dot had moved in the way you wanted it to move, walk, encounter, check again, try to ignore annoying-as-hell field music that sounds like something that might play in a carnival minigame that you'd only hear for two minutes instead of every time you go outside, and hope you wouldn't have to backtrack all the damn way back for another loaf of bread because the game will only let you have one at a time
It's funny because I first experienced this game back when I adamantly believed there was no such thing as a bad video game, and you were probably just playing it wrong. Quest 64 is nowhere near as bad as Sonic 06 or Dirge, true, but it was the first game I ever played that it was bad enough for me to realise, even as young as six years old, that games could actually be bad and not fun.
this was the sound of innocence being lost

okay celtic paganism not existing sorrrt of makes sense considering we don't know nearly as much about it as hellenism or norse paganism (even norse beliefs are of course through a couple of mirrors)
and I guess no hellenism/egyptian religion is the result of the later start dates
but yeah it would be cool
Yeah, that's true.
But still-
Sunset invasion-
Aztecs invade from the West, landing on the shores of Europe.
You can reform their religion, but their holy sites are so far across the map you basically have to be an Aztec Empire.

I don't even know if there's a start-date where you can play as Aztecs that have already established a place.
Its' odd that you can reform a religion that you probably won't be playing as, unless you decide to create a custom ruler.
