I have too. It doesn't mention anything about Dominate's duration being increased via Spellcraft/Mental Magic. Perhaps I interpreted it differently to you...

You can't. You have to open it from the other side.

Recharging Wands? in Geneforge Series

Discipline Wands have always been very powerful, ever since GF 1. I actually tried a missile Guardian in GF 2, and sided with the Takers (so that I could make wands). It wasn't bad, although I think melee guardian is more powerful, and dies less often.

I'm curious about the spell 'Dominate'.

Does spellcraft increase your chances of defeating an enemies mental resistance?

And does increasing mental magic/spellcraft/intelligence increase the length of time you can control an opponent for?

I could see being an outsider human, but they have said they are unable to create life the way the Shapers can.

Really?

I know that the Sholai can use magic, and it is actually very similiar to shaper magic. I'm not sure about Shaping, though... I don't see why they couldn't. They are humans, and hence have no restrictions placed on them (like the Serviles have, who have been purposely created so that they couldn't shape/use magic. But even that failed).

Now, what exactly do I do to run Geneforge 3? I assume I have to tweak these to my "needs". The problem is, I don't know exactly what my "needs" are:

You need a ROM file. If you have a Mac, just get it off that. If you don't, good luck on finding one...

Middle of the road viewpoint in Geneforge Series

I thought that only two factions was a huge improvement. I think that the Awakened in the the two past Geneforge's were placed there by Jeff to give the player a morally correct choice (not that I ever joined them. LOL!)

GF3 is far more realistic in its portrayal of an all out war, with no holds barred, no prisoners taken. When fighting against a superior force such as the Shapers, it comes as no surprise that the rebels would use underhanded tactics. The killing of innocents, while immoral, is good military tactic during war (eg. Vietnam War).

To be honest, I felt more sympathetic for the Shapers. Despite their glaring flaws, they are more morally redeemable than the rebels. They resist canister abuse, they create new environments out of swamps and deserts and repopulate it with life. And they constructed a great civilization.

The only thing which disappointed me was the plain incompetence of many loyalists. I guess when you are faced with 50 foot drakkons, you are going to be a bit rattled, but you'd expect them to have a little more discipline.

Is GF3 worth for the waiting after you play it? in Geneforge Series

If you liked GF2 and wanted to play more of it without much alteration, then you'll probably like GF3.
If you liked GF2 because it had new creations and new factions, you may be disappointed by GF3. If you didn't like GF2 but liked GF1 for the discovery and exploration, you may like GF3.

I didn't really take much of a shine to the new creations in GF 2, and wished they had stuck with the originals. To be honest, I have fonder memories of GF 1. The plot was more... intriguing, and the atmosphere was more 'tense'. You were totally alone, had a hell of a lot to explore, and could use the Geneforge.

I can't wait for GF 3. At least they haven't added more uncreative creations (Drakkon? Eyebeast? Give me a break!)

How many new sects you expect to see in GF3 ? in Geneforge Series

so my final answer is five, with Litalia as the fifth.

I am guessing that Litalia represents either the Barzites, or the Sholai. Think about it carefully...

Why would the Awakened or Takers want to recruit you? Sure, they wanted to recruit you in GF 1 and GF 2, but that was only when they were SURE that you were pro-servile. In GF 3, you start off as an anti-servile student loyal to the shapers, so I seriously doubt that the Awakened would trust you enough to recruit you.

The Sholai are a 'phantom presence'. They weren't in GF 2, which makes me wonder what they have been doing during that time. We have a warrior people who have discovered new land, and new magic. Like the Shapers, they will be arrogant, and seek to conquer it.

What would be interesting is that the Shaper Council is faced with a dilemma. The only way to fight the Takers is to use the canisters to empower themselves. This could cause a split in the Shaper Coucil.

I don't understand your reference to Parry, since in my experience you have to have very high levels of Parry before you can rely on it to prevent opponents hitting you.

Well, I only sunk about 4 points into it, the rest I got from canisters. And I have a 50% to block. I think that a higher character level also increases your chance to parry/riposte.

Two other questions:
Do you get much use out of Mass Madness?

Yes.

And, do you think that Terror and Dominate could be effectively used without going whole-hog into Mental Magic?

No. Definitely not.

Your shaper should specialize wholly in Shaping, sacrificing almost everything for his creations.

most of the fights in the game, you can breeze. It kind of ruins the fun, if you've left any, by that time.

Utterly crushing your enemies is fun. To me, it is still a bit of a challenge (I play on torment).

One thing I don't get, however, is why do people have more than just a couple of pets?

Power, and the feeling of being a mighty shaper. Nothing like having 8 cyrodrayks at your back. :D

You've got the power, you might as well use it. By the time you have 8 cyrodrayks, you don't need any more leveling up, methinks.

Hmm, we must play our games differently. I usually have a lot of people to toast after using the Geneforge (and I owned the Inner Crypts, using a Guardian with about 6 cyrodrayks).

The 'Use Geneforge, then destroy it." is in my humble opinion, the best ending.

Also, using the Geneforge makes you INSANELY powerful. One of the few games where you feel equal (if not even more powerful) than your strongest opponents!
