First of all, before you all think "You just can't get empowered cause you suck" I've had 4 empowered characters so far, and 2 have been tattooed... I think Many of the Imms (BRIA) can be pretty unreasonable in the amount of time they make you wait. It took me 100+ hours both times I did it, and that was praying at all times of the day but not too often, interacting with others, preaching a little, all the good crap you're supposed to do. One day at 90 hours I saw Bria vis, ran to her and asked for an interview, we started, and it crashed. I didn't see her again for 40 more hours until another day she was vis. She NEVER answered my prays, never showed up when I'd sit in her shrine and emote meditation and such. It's almost like god's religions are an afterthought. You ask them when vis and they go "Oh, um, yeah... That empowerment thing... What's your religion mean?" etc. I like doing empowerment and playing empowered characters, but it takes a lttle bit of fun out of it if they aren't gonna talk to you unless vis. To be fair, Tureanthen was easy, but then all I did was wait until I saw him vis and ask instead of poking around wasting 1/6 of my character's life at level 10.
