Amazing how so many people have posted here that I don't recognize at all. Some of the people who posted twice are familiar, but I guess it's easy to forget a single post.

I would say being here has improved my English to some degree. I don't typically speak as I write, well I suppose in some ways I do. My mother is an English major, and still I have fairly improper English. I seem to have inherited a similar writing voice nonetheless.

Three numbers that are appealing to me are 103, 112, and 128 After that I'll stop listing numbers for the time being.

As often as you change your moniker, and as long as you have been here I would guess close to 546.

One observation is that when you absorb your creations they dissolve into essence, but creations that come from anywhere else leave blood on the ground after they die. The Spawners on the other hand seem to made of jewls.

I don't like using “meatshields.” I have for certain parts of the game where it was necessary. I tend to make one or two creations that I keep with me until it is time to upgrade to a stronger being. I kept my Cryoa until I got to Dhonal's Keep where I got the Drayk canister. I kept my Drayk until I was able to make a Cryodrayk, and kept it for the rest of the game. I heal them a lot in battle and try to keep them out of harms way.

Had there have been a face for embarrassment I would have used it. I didn't realize I am here that often, or I'm so spamy.

I like RPGs that have an in-depth story, and aren't only mindless blood and guts. Open-ended is very nice as well.

Note that I didn't say we are the only creatures. It is one of the factors in being human due to sex being emotional for us.

I'm not trying to get into a discussion on different forms of sex. The point to brining that up is that the frequency of God is the same frequency of the state of extreme joy.

An orgasm is just an example of humans in a state of bliss, as is the example of people in love. Sex is not irrelevant as it relates to humans. We are one of the very few creatures that experience that form of pleasure. It is one of the things that separates us from the animals, that and among other things the awareness of the possibility of God.

You have to read the book a few times. Each time stronger shades will come.

Scientific studies have shown that when people are praying or participating in religous ceremony, their brain gets flooded by endorphins, the "feel good" hormone of the body. This also happens when one eats or hangs outside on a sunny day. This is the "holy spirit" that keeps on being used as proof.
Well, maybe the big G is flooding their minds with endorphins as a reward for their behavior? :)

I felt the same way back when I was way more Christian than I am now (deist me). I felt the same way when I told my fiancee that I loved her the first time, as well as when I asked her to marry me. In retrospect, I don't think it's the Holy Spirit - unless it's the holy spirit I'm feeling every time I orgasm.
Perhaps it is. examples would be Tantra, and the Kama Sutra. Reaching God through the experience of pleasure.

I will be kind and resist calling you an idiot, but you certainly are shortsighted. I can only assume you too young to understand anything outside your box you call the bible.

Whats your favorite creation? in Geneforge Series

Creations are good or bad relative to where you are in the game. A fyora is ideal for very early on. They have both close range and fire attack. I don't use them anymore as soon as I get Cryoas.

Eyebeasts are nice, but if you were to have them in say the first 15 levels the game would be too easy. To battle a fyora with a drayk is boring.

Shops in Geneforge Series

Okay this is a fantasy game. Why do you need realism to the smallest detail? Shopkeepers have endless money just like in Avernum. It is easier this way, as you are able to afford training and supplies.

Things being sold to the shopkeepers and disappearing is a bit annoying. That is balanced out by the fact that there are at least five of most things. In GF2 there were about two mandrake tinctures. In GF3 I horded them at first, but as soon as I fond six of them I started selling them. There are very few one of a kind items that can be sold. Most of the items that are very important have a value of 0.

As for things being safe unattended; it would not be enjoyable to not have safe places for you things. I can't carry them all. When I played it again I sold everything I found. I didn't save anything but what I could carry. It worked out fine, and I had 30000 coins at all times.

Things happen, you don't seem to get involved in them very often.

Two creations that can withstand three hits are far more valuable than three creations that can only withstand one hit.
