God's plan is just the alpha release, has a lot of bugs, and is not feature complete. Lol
Annoyingly stable tho. How we gonna speedrun without clipping through things?
Clipping through things is real.

That'd be some fun shit, some doug-adams-esque "throw yourself at it and miss" stuff except you've gone through a wall
Arguably our whole world only works because of clipping.
I wouldn't call regular mass extinction events stability.
It's not just the prelude event for the next expac?
He sounds a lot like Bethesda
...and when a bunch of really talented modders make things better than great a loud minority starts crying out "Nooo! Can't play Skyrim with mods, it's cheating! I don't want anime tiddies and Thomas the Tank Engine in Skyrim! It's not what Todd envisioned! Waaaa!".
And yes, there actually is a certain bunch who think mods in a single-player game==cheating. Somehow.
Loud minority of folks running/ruining things for the other 2/3 or so seems to be a theme w humans.
I can't imagine deliberately choosing to use the janky inventory/spell UI skyrim launched with
There are more masochists out there than you might think.
Believe it or not, when I made that comment, what I had in mind was Skyrim's mammoths falling out of the sky, Barbas accidentally pushing me off a cliff, and the hired thugs going "we're here to teach you a lesson" while I'm fighting Alduin and they helped me deal some damage before they died.
You should have seen my divine plan, I test them in worldbox. My first iteration was bombs. But than I saw that it wasn't really good so I made a perfect Island and everyone is blessed. I was bored so i made everything immortal. Also they could not decalre wars because not death was to be in my world. On the year 332 the first king of the earliest kingdom had 24 kids and a well deserved golden tooth. On the year 1700 they were all very happy.
Still an atheist but I would love if I died and found out God was just a guy in a cubicle who inherited a mess from its coworker who was fired.
"Look I am sorry everyone keeps getting aids and cancer alright I am trying. Freaken galaxies weren't rotating right so had to invent dark matter. Also Sharon ate the last donut and I get like a billion bug and feature requests from you apes every second. I didn't sign up for any of this! Ok ok calm I am in my happy place...you should probably go to heaven now. It's viking heaven but it's working"
I feel like it would be a great fictional concept to explore the Christian God as not all powerful. He's well connected, certainly, with how many priests there are around the world, but he still has limits. Bad stuff happening? He isn't able to stop it, but wishes he could. Divine punishment for the truly sick individuals? He could, but it would mean he can't prevent as much bad stuff as he already is, and humans do a decent enough job of dealing with the shitheads.
It was a bad idea to have God be omnipotent. The idea of a benevolent god who isn't omnipotent and needs your help to spread good in the world is a far more compelling idea.
Some of the conceptions of early Judaism were like that, after they made their God all good it still struggled to fix stuff.
