Do you think there is a Hell? in General

Okay so according to the bible there are only two realms postmortem, heaven and hell. It seems safe to assume by this logic at any being unworthy of heaven will be born into hell.

Here are two questions. To avoid arguing semantics let's assume these cases are literal. The tendency seems to be to analyze terms such as evil, love, bad and good. Eventually the question is lost in explaining why the use of these words is incorrect.

1. A truly evil being can truly love Jesus. This is due too the concept that the being doesn't believe what it is doing is wrong. That is to say the believe Jesus to be their lord and savior. On their deathbed they ask for forgiveness, and for the sake of argument lets say they mean it. This being has a place in heaven despite their life of cruel deeds?

2. A being that lives their life by all the laws of the bible, and for the sake of argument sins very little in its lifetime. This being believes Jesus lived and did many great things. Perhaps they believe Jesus was an enlightened being, so Jesus was able heal through the core energy of God Essence. However they do not believe Jesus was the literal son of God, or shall I say is God's child as much as any of us are. Upon that beings death will they receive the punishment of being born into hell despite their life of incredible compassion?

Making the PC a servile would be odd, being that everyone calls you Shaper.

I like the idea of being a human. The Shapers underestimate you, but you gain strength and wisdom and finally take the power that is their mighty Geneforge. It seems if you were a servile you would end up getting pushed around a lot. Also they can't use canisters, so it would almost be a guarantee that you wouldn't be using the Geneforge.

I would like to be able to shape living tools so I could stop carrying them all the time and mines for protection. That would be very useful.

I had my mechanics at about 15 through most of the game. Once I got that canister of unlock and trained two levels of unlock I was fine. By the end of the game I had about 70 extra living tools. You get a lot of them later when you don't need them anymore.

First you need to liberate General Greiner form the shade that is clouding his mind. If you don't the doors to the Creator will not open for you.

Send his troops further and further west and you will have the path cleared for you. Once there you will be able to fix the creator without doing anything else.

Comfort is always priority, but looking nice is important also.

Thongs are not at all uncomfortable. They seem like they would be, but quality ones are fine.

My only complaint about tube tops is that they slide down a lot. They need to be pulled up all the time. Strapless bras are useless.

High heals suck. Mostly because they make it hard to walk, but they are structurally terrible. I don't see how they could be truly comfortable as they cause the body to contract unnaturally.

It's worth going through. You get nice stuff and two canisters. Spharon will talk to you, you wont get any major information. But it's nice to talk to people before looting their canisters :P

As I said in G1, G2 is also not timed in “game time.” If you have the demo look around for a timer, or day count, or anything that would suggest a tracking of time. I can tell you real time in hours (about 90 if I remember correctly).

Posting the same question in several topics starts to get somewhat annoying.

Geneforge 1 isn't timed like that. I suggest you play as fast as you can, and than try beating your own time. Try it on easy so you'll finish fast, than play again on torment and try to beat your easy time.

Originally written by silver harloe:
the one thing Dolphin said that I disagree with is "I'm not a feminist because they're too stuck up"... that's like not following the word of Christ because a bunch of his followers interpret his words and deeds ("turn the other cheek" and "love everyone" and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "forgive everyone" and "it's easier to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven" and his general attitude of being friends even with his enemies) as meaning they can blow places up if they disagree with what they are doing, or wage crusades or inquisitions in His name, or try to raise money by lying on stage... don't think about the uptightness of the feminist followers, think about the concept of "women should be able to do whatever they want, just like men" - the core of feminism, and it's hard to to believe anyone is not a feminist.
You misquote me. I said they are uptight not stuck-up. Feminists tend to be easily offended by the sight of a woman's body. Okay so women want to be able to do everything men do. I don't want to have to do “everything” men do. I like being the female, and I tend to be very natural, I'd prefer the male to hunt. We want to vote, drive, have credit cards, and jobs. There should be a midline where we are treated like people, but also as females.

-------------------------------------
I agree that female fashion is taking an odd path. There is a lot of pressure on young girls to wear makeup and reveling clothes. I don't care for makeup personally. Why would I want a bunch of colors on my face? Men seem to really like it though. Young girls see models and actresses doing certain things, and they want to do the same. Are they weak for mimicking other woman? No, they are 12 or 13 years old. All the girls I know started with makeup at 13. I always found it amusing how some of the men tell me I am strong for not wearing makeup and high heals in this day and age, and others say I am lazy.

Phaedra: I have no objection to her choice of armor. The fact that she is still alive and as strong as the PC shows she is a competent fighter. I'm sure early humans battled large animals in nothing but loin clothes and spears and survived.

Playing leisurely through A3 on torment I finished in 100 game days. If I didn't do any of the side quest or looked at everything I would have taken half the time. A1 and A2 are smaller games. If you really want to finish fast A1 may be the best choice.

I've gotten catcalls while wearing “conferrable” clothes. Why? Because some things are too obvious to hide. What more can I do to “not ask for it”?

A male being to charged to control his urges while looking at a woman in whatever she wears is his issue, not hers.

It kind of sound like you may be blocking his path. This can be done slightly off to the side as well. Sorry if I am misinterpreting what you are describing.
