    Personally, I would go with Omnipotence. Reason being:
    If you're omniscient and you suddenly wonder what's the ending of the novel you're reading, then the answer pop in your head. Damn, spoilers!

    EDIT: Also when playing game, knowing everything as if reading a walk-through really spoil the enjoyment.

    on the other hand, if you think what the writter will publish for the next few 100 unreleased chapters, you don't have to wait to read
    my preference omnisentient, not knowing everything but nothing around me can escape my detection

    Being all powerful is a fast track to death. Being all knowing let's you circumvent death.

    I think I will pick Omniscient, because knowing everything is different with experiencing everything.....

    personally, I wouldnt want to be anywhere near a fapping teenager.....

    Edit: I take omnipotence... That way I can make myself omniscient whenever I feel like it.

    I was gonna say that. lol

    Also omnipotence would extend to omniscience because if you're all-powerful then you must also be all-knowing. If you're not all-knowing then you can't be all-powerful.

    Isn't omniscience inherently part of being omnipotent? LOL

    There's a difference between knowing how to do something, and being able to do it. I know how to survive in the center of the sun, all you have to do is survive the temperature while having access to air, food, and water, but I can't do that.

    Being omnipotent would allow omniscient. If you can do anything then give yourself the ability to know everything. It's not the other way though. The thing though is let's assume being omniscient wouldn't mean omnipotent. Like I might know how to make a TARDIS, but that doesn't mean I can. Somethings are just not possible even with knowledge if you have no power to. Also, knowing everything would be simply knowing the answer. What if the answer is you can't. Like if I try to shatter dimensions with the strength of my pinky right now as a normal human. The answer could be something crazy to make it happen, but at the same time it could also just be not possible. Knowing everything doesn't equal doing anything. One understands everything to it's limit and knows all possibilities. The other surpasses limits and allows impossibilities.
