If canisters were real... in Geneforge Series
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Sunday, December 31 2006 18:01 Profile Homepage #87 I must have missed the part where Barzahl didn't get killed. It worked for him in only one of many possible G2 endings, and not in the continuity used for G3 and G4. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

How would the fact that the Shapers are on alert about dangerous things from Sucia going to make him seem less of a freak? Regardless, it's clear that he is trapped on Sucia in G1, isn't it? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Who still plays the Exile Trilogy & Why in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Thursday, December 28 2006 09:28 Profile Homepage #14 Some of the things that are neat about the Avernum engine are a lot less neat on replays. The dialogue system is one. Exile allows you to skip pretty much whatever dialogue you don't want to hear again. Avernum makes you go through conversations in their entirity to get what you need. You can't just blindly page through either, since you have to read the options and choose the relevant ones. Another is the combat system. Avernum's is in many respects better balanced, but there is less variety. A lot of this is due to the spell system. In general, simplicity is an advantage. Fiddling with or observing details can be fun the first play-through, but is less enjoyable with each successive replay, in most games. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

That may be the case. ...it may also be the case that I have stopped paying attention to posts by people who only post spam. Although that can't be true, given what I'm replying to right now. Actually, I think the problem is not New Hampshire, but rather the lack of easy availability of certain need-fulfilling experiences. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

(This was not the case in BoE where designers put secret doors in bizarre places and nonsensical terrain habitually, but through E3 this was true.)

XNA software tool in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Tuesday, December 19 2006 07:48 Profile Homepage #18 Dungeon Master was ported years after its original release to the SNES, and Dungeon Master II was ported to the Sega Genesis. They both used a directional pad-driven cursor. From what I understand, neither bombed. However, expectations for graphics were much lower, and those were action-RPGs that involved no dialogue whatsoever. The quantity of text in any Spiderweb game would kill it almost instantly. Console system RPGs have never had comparable amounts of text, and for years now all the new ones have had speech instead of text anyway. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Respect. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Tuesday, December 19 2006 04:59 Profile Homepage #5 There is plenty of evidence from previous games that the canisters DO affect you when dealing with a similarly augmented individual. In G1, your interactions with Trajkov come to mind. IIRC, late game dialogue options with Barzahl in G2 and Litalia in G3 are similarly affected. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
House Unshaperlike Activities Committee in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Tuesday, December 19 2006 04:55 Profile Homepage #87 quote: Originally written by Elegance: Qwghlmian or Lojban?: —Alorael, who has a new way to phrase the debate. Suppose shaping were replaced with guns. It's still a unique power, but would you argue that guns are inherently evil? How about iron armor? Or aircraft? Escalation of the tools of war is part of how the world works, even Geneforge's world, and at least shaping provides benefits as well. The problem with that analogy is that guns are weapons and only weapons. Shaping provides power much like guns do, but it also creates life forms with needs and the possibility of rights. Guns can escalate conflict, but they don't really create any conflict in and of themselves. Shaping does. The Trakovites don't argue that shaping is inherently evil. They argue that it is inevitably going to lead to destruction. Those are very different things. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
