The Chosen Ending - Geneforge 5 in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Apprentice
Member # 4812

The rebel ending seems unlikely to be used in G5 imo, as it makes the drakons and shapers too much alike. There wouldn't be a moral dilemma of who to help. Both sides want pretty much the same thing, using pretty much the same means.
Therefore, a third faction would have to be introduced to offer another choice, but that seems a little too avernum'ish.

Perhaps split factions among the drakons are what we will see, the new generation on one side (universal bad guys) and the older more humane ones on the rebel side. This would also give the rebels the power they need to stand a chance against the shapers - something they would be lacking if the drakons split from them completely.

I think the idea of the shapers trying to retake the Ashen islands in G5 makes the most sence.

The story could go something like this;
The drakons on the Ashen islands decide to start up a program to redevelop a new ultimate version of the unbound ones. A few of the older drakons see this, and foreseeing the consequences this would have, flee to warn the rebels and the shapers of what’s going on. The shapers immediately launch an assault on Ashen islands, but they are at a severe disadvantage since they don’t have any outposts there, and no idea of where the drakons are hiding, or what they are doing. The shapers ask the rebels for a temporary truce since they need help, and the rebels who are too weak to oppose the drakons on their own, accepts.

While the rebels and the shapers share a common goal, they have very different ways of doing things, and this will lead to conflicts. Add to that the usual plotting against each other behind the scene, and I think it’s a fairly good basis for what G5 could be.

Unlock and can't beat the mine shade in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

The trick to it is to not stand in LOS (Line of sight)of the shade when your turn ends.
Basically you can run right up to a hostile creature, run around it a few times, and still not aggro it as long as you're not in it's LOS when your turn ends.

Using speed, as mentioned in one of the other replies, makes this easier, (espicially later in the game) but iirc it isn't needed for this part since you dont have to move very far.

simply love a good flame war... My favorites would be

If i throw a stick, will you go away?

You're ugly, i'm busy. Have a nice day.

You're as welcome as a fart in an elevator

Your clue meter is reading zero; let's see if this registers: Get lost!

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. Go away!

Another epileptic seizure on the keyboard!

I can always tell when you're lying - your lips are moving.

As an outsider, what do you think of the human race?

Brains aren't everything. In fact, in your case they're nothing

Hi! I'm a human being! What are you?

Kind’ a surprised no one said these ones yet but..

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, by Douglas Adams is the funniest book, ever. Looking forward to the movie which should be coming out pretty soon ^^

The dark tower series by Steven King are defiantly also worth picking up. There is something along the lines of 8 books in the series, so it will take some time to get through them

Last recommendation from me is the series about Drizzt Do'Urden, the drow, by R.A. Salvatore. Again it’s quite a long series, i think it's 14 book, so far. They’ve been put together in trilogies, which should make getting them less of a pain. Great fun, and very exciting reading.

the first poem i ever did.. inspired by fallout 1 & 2...

I’m sitting in my room
Thinking of the boom
That wrecked the world

Thinking of the radiation
That would undo creation
Just like that

Thinking of the dying
Who never stopped crying
Because there was no hope

Thinking of the freaks
That died alongside the geeks
Who started it all

Thinking of the dread
That was all foresaid
So long ago

Remembering the anarchy
Which was only surpassed by blasphemy
All because of a mistake

Trying to remember what set it off
Guessing it was not a noble cause
Never to be used as a bedtime story

Thinking of the blast
Which was never to be surpassed
In our wrecked world

this probartly isn't possible, but it would be cool if the party was transformed, temporarily, into rats, and then they had to run around for a bit before they found a cure..
