it turns out god, satan, and literally every celestial figure is not only a richard but actively conspiring against you. you still somehow show up for all the subsequent sequels and the cosmos HATES it but cant figure out how to get you out the door
now it's the sequel. you, god, satan, buddha, jesus, giglamesh, asura the destroyer have all put aside their differences and your relationship has (de?)evolved into being sort of like a goofy melodramatic sitcom. occasionally you go to god for advice, and then god says something cryptic and sort of threatening, so you then go to giglamesh and he says the same thing but at least isn't a richard about it and god gets super mad that you didnt just listen to him in the first place and throws lightning bolts at you until you go away
