Need HELP on the ancient gods quest(minor spoiler)

[mbz]

"Every time you get a blessing from a greater god, you'll lose the blessings
of the first four gods in the circle, and when you receive Velorien's
blessing, you'll lose the blessings of the greater gods. However, you can
stop making offerings at any point and keep the blessings you have. So you
might want to stop before reaching Kaitan or Velorien so you can keep the
strength and dexterity bonuses from Alberich and Makaal in the third circle."

DOES IT MEAN if I do all the blessings, I end up with only Velorien's in the end??

If not. Does the order of the circles matter? (i.e. can I do the 3rd circle, the 2nd circle, and then the 1st circle?)

I stumbled upon the lesser god of Alberich(in the wheel clan cave), and went to get his blessing (the first of the 3rd circle). Immediately I went to receive the blessing of Geshtianna(in silver water). The former blessing was cancelled out. Aparently, within a particular circle(namely, the 1st circle), the order matters.

Have I made a irreversible mistake?

You have to do the blessings in each circle in order. I'm not sure if you have to do the circles in order, but I suspect that you do. If you do all the blessings in order, you receive Velorien's blessing and lose all the other blessings.

If you make a blessing out of order, I think you can just start over.

Btw, SWCarter has done an excellent walkthrough of Arcanum (I'm assuming he's the same guy) up on GameFAQs. Quoting from it, and note--this has major SPOILERS...

You can pick out any single lesser god and get its blessing by making the correct offering, but in order to accumulate blessings and eventually receive Velorien’s blessing, you need to make offerings in the following order:

First Circle
------------

Ter’el, Makaal, Alberich, Geshtianna, and then Halcyon

Second Circle
-------------

Torg, Bolo, Kerlin, Shakar, and then Moorindal

Third Circle
------------

Alberich, Makaal, Kerlin, Bolo, and then Kaitan

Final Blessing
--------------

Velorien

Every time you get a blessing from a greater god, you’ll lose the blessings
of the first four gods in the circle, and when you receive Velorien’s
blessing, you’ll lose the blessings of the greater gods. However, you can
stop making offerings at any point and keep the blessings you have. So you
might want to stop before reaching Kaitan or Velorien so you can keep the
strength and dexterity bonuses from Alberich and Makaal in the third circle.

thanks folks. Everything's clear now. I love the walkthrough on GameFAQs, even better than the one on Gamebanshee(IMHO).

I actually wrote both of them, and so I'm sort of surprised (and maybe a little disturbed ) that people like one better than the other. Is it just the format, or do you feel like there's something in the GB version that could be improved? I sort of like the GB version since it has all the maps.

Aha, I didn't know that. I liked the GameFAQ version because it seems authentic. And there are a couple of places, where the explaination you wrote was clearer than the explaination the game provided (e.g. the gamebanshee images). For example, you wrote "+3 to haggle" somewhere in GameFAQ, but in Gamebanshee it only says something like "a considerable bonus to haggle".

The good thing about gamebanshee is that it has good maps and links that direct people to their desired walkthroughs.

And also there's grammar mistakes in Gamebanshee. I'm not aware of any in GameFAQ yet.

And OH......I almost forgot. There was no illustration on how to earn all the fate points in Gamebanshee(nor in the forum). I googled the term, and I found GameFAQ!!!That was the reason why I found GameFAQ in the first place
