Yeah, it's that last clause that really is the problem here, isn't it? Reasoning with alien beings is fine and all, but when they treat you like dirt... Well.I feel the same on those subjects. But I may be looking at it this game differently too. Prior to this, I played a lot of Mage from White Wolf publishing. Dealt with many spirit creatures (that was my character's specialization). Some of the monsters remind me of that. They seem geared towards teaching subtle lessons that you're likely to overlook. There is also, in some cases, a sense of chimonage (I have to be spelling that wrong), or paying tribute for favors. In this case the chimonage is sex. Mamono norms and mimis are also alien, because they aren't human.
So it is something I'm kind of use to and enjoy navigating. If you can figure them out enough to work with them productively and in a way that isn't demeaning, that is.
So far I can think of only one mamono I would be willing to describe as godlike. Anubis sure as Hell ain't that.We shall leave gaining the favor of proud gods lording over fundamental pillars of the cosmos to the clergy.
Which may be just as difficult to implement as the alternative.Then, there's always the Grave solution.
