Outside the combat, Rise of the Argonauts offers another refreshing concept, currently known as Deeds. These deeds are similar to achievement points on the Xbox 360 and range from killing certain numbers of enemies, to finding secret areas and winning the favor of different characters. These deeds, when accumulated are stored until you reach an altar that belongs to a God. When there, the deeds can be cashed in, so to speak, with Jason claiming he performed the deeds in the name of that particular deity. This will gain the God's favor and reward you with benefits associated with them, such as equipment and '˜Miracles'. These '˜miracles' could be combat assistance that can randomly take place during a battle, driving enemies wild and attacking each other, with other miracles also promised.
Favor doesn't come without a price, though. If you gain favor with one God, you lose favor with their rival, and torments can be inflicted during battle (miracles that benefit the enemy). Each God comes with benefits that will drastically affect the way the game is played, so it would be a good idea to choose your God wisely.
