The non-Shaper part of the empire (Read:Low levels of government) could probably be bribed. The Shapers, however, undergo rigorous psychological conditioning for years before becoming Shapers, and bribery would have to be all but nonexistent in that area. The non-Shaper but Shaper-appointed officials, yes, the Shapers, no.

The BlackRabbit thing does not really indicate corruptness, I suggest that you look the word up in the dictionary as it applies to people before using it again.

Khima-uss, located in the Greyghost Mountains in GF4. Wintery settlement, has a lovely drakon fellow who tries to kill you because you're human...

I didn't say insane, but you did leave off suicidal.

GoldenKing, just because a group is powerful, doesn't mean they are corrupt. In fact, if I had to venture a bet, I would bet that most Shapers, though arrogant and ambicious, are far from corrupt. Just because a person holds different ideals doesn't make them corrupt.

At least you can remember that far back, I barely remember anything. And my record for forgeting something is 2 seconds. Sad, isn't it?

And anyway, the turtles weren't here at the beginning.

You, my friend, are deluded. The only Drakon that showed mercy and tolerence is Ghaldring, and his rule, if GF4 shows anything, is already in severe danger. The rest would be all to happy to shred you on the spot.

Oh really? Is the shaping lab behind the Drakon's warrens in Khima-uss out of this so-called necessity? Is the fact that they effectively kicked serviles out of Khima-uss or made them slave labor justified by this so-called necessity?

No to the first, but yes to the second. Most of the developments in Shaping came from those experiments. Twisted? Yes. Pointless? Try again.

Oh, and while we're making vaguely related comparisons between Geneforge and real-life events, the Rebels are the equivalent of modern-day terrorists.

No argument vs. Drayks, but the drakons are bound by neither reason nor mercy (Ghaldring aside). Their ideals was basically the one thing holding their morality in place (Ghaldring aside), and now that they're casting that aside (Ghaldring too)... Well, you do the math.

I apologize. I didn't know Salassar was the picture of mental health. Now that I do, I'm happy I'm the mentally disturbed person I am.

Except for the backstabbing, brainwashing, and hypocrisy. It is interesting to see how you can put a much lower value on the deaths of millions of innocent bystanders from multiple species versus the death of a few hundred who posed a serious threat to security, and possibly the world. Quite frankly, the shapers were clearly correct in assuming that the Drayks were too independent and dangerous to be allowed to exist. Look at the carnage that resulted because they survived!

I have to pick Escape velocity override. For some reason flying a space ship, visiting alien worlds, and basically being a free spirit appeal to me.

My second choice is not purely an RPG I have to say MYST based on the fact their the books that lead to other realities. In the game you work for some who writes these books. I would try to learn how to write one of these books.
