GF2 ending irritation in Geneforge Series
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Monday, October 30 2006 12:50 Profile Homepage #0 I just found that even if you kill Barzahl, Tuldaric, and the three Taker Drayks, and destroy the Geneforge, you still get the "unfinished ending" (the one where you get executed). Apparently destroying the geneforge doesn't count as finishing the game unless you go back and tell Zakary you did it. How bureaucratic; nothing is done unless the paperwork is completed. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

Episode 3: A New Game in General
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Sunday, October 29 2006 11:50 Profile Homepage #184 quote: Originally written by Randomizer: Dikiyoba - I like what I've seen of the first four chapters. The new format is easier to read than the scripts. I rather liked the script format, and thought it suited the style of eps 1 & 2. For ep 3 I'm waiting to see if, over the course of the story, Dikiyoba is going to make use of the prose format and include a few bits of non-dialogue, non-stage direction. Oh, I guess that could have sounded like it was a criticism. Not supposed to be at all, just musing over the possibilities. :eek: -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

When is the game coming out? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Sunday, October 29 2006 05:03 Profile Homepage #1 Q: When is the game coming out? A: Not soon enough. To my knowledge, Spiderweb doesn't usually give an actual release date; the game will be ready when it's ready and that's when it'll be released. In the past we sometimes were told which month (and experience shows it could come out on the 2nd of the month or equally the 29th) but that's as precise as it gets. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Unfortunately there's no Word of Recall spell in E1, either. However, having looked at that screenshot I see a not unfamiliar situation, which I've encountered myself and out of which I managed to get. I'm confident the eyebeast will move around if you wait.
