Did they up the baton damage aswell? Because seriously they need to fix that or remove it from the game alltogether.

Why should use a baton or a wand when i got my own magic and shapeing that do such better damage? Honest to god i have NEVER used a wand, ever. Not since G1 was released all those years ago. I have used a reg baton once or twice in G2 (litterary, once or twice.) And gems? Never. One time i used a Ice Gem in a pinch, other then tat i just sell them for the little cash they are worth. Either jack them up or remove them.

The game was kinda "made" for the Shaper class. The Shapers have it easiest most of the time, since they can just send someone out to fight for them.

How far can you go? in Geneforge Series

How far can you go with playing loyalist before all your options are used up to join the Rebels? I really don't see any major benefit with joining the Rebels early in the game, so i thought i would hop on the final train, so to speak.

Learned Darian (i think) will speak with you on Gull, can you become fullfledged Rebel just by allowing him to go and speak with Stonespire for you? And will he show up if you have been very pro-loyal all game or only if you have been pro-rebel but never joined them?

Im sure that it can be done that way, im just damn lazy really, i don't got the time and energy to cast Augmentation and Essence Armor as soon as i enter a new area.

But i will try it with my new Rebel Agent and report how it works out.

I just checked my endgame Agent.
Level 39.
370HP
650 Energy
250 or so Essence

BM 14
Mental 6
Blessing 6
Spellcraft 10.

My essence orbs did on average 150p of damage, which i find is just fine. If you guys got it up to 300 then i am impressed. I had Endurance 14 and even if i dropped that by 8 and put my skillpoints in BM and Spellcraft i still don't think i would have done that high damage. Eitherway my Agent had a whooping easy time even without canisters and a BM of 20.

I don't agree on the endurance part. Maybe i just don't have the nerves of running back and forth, timeing ir exactly so that a creature can't both mvoe and attack me. Me last game with an Agent in G3 i got up to level 40. I had an endurance of 14 with Girdle of Life and Symbiotic Cloak, which served me well. I am unsure exactly how powerful my attacks were in the end game but i think i had Spellcraft of 12 and Battlemagic of 16. Either way it did not matter because Daze took care of any problem i have.

I liked the Guardian in G2 because you did not have to do all that fansy stuff, you could just run up, kill any creature with a simple melee attack and survive whatever thrown at you because of your endurance and parry skill.

Since the Twin Minds can just as easily rebuild the Spawners (probably) i think that it matters.

It's okey Dolphin, always good with helpful people.

the eight artifacts in Geneforge Series

Member # 5785

No idea what Creators Belt does. I had to figure out everything on my own since i did not have a hintbook. I made (In order): Emerald Chest Guard (The only real artificat you need) Infiltrators Ring and Avengers Ring (Good maybe for a Guardian bot not good for the other classes, besides the second pair of Demons Claws makes getting this ring rather pointless since it is right before the end game)

I knew i could make the crystal shroud but did not, and other artifacts i were not aware of.

Healing Craft was a rather common reward, yes. But are you seriouse that you started to deflect damage more? Because i am sure that the Parry skill did nothing for me untill i got up at like Level 12, when i had a 30-40% chance of blocking an attack.

Btw, is it not annoying that almost all canisters you come across increase your abillities instead of Stats? I mean, like i care about getting two more points of Dominate or Essence Orbs?

Eh, the Spawners are not the important thing tow orry about, but the Twin Minds are. They are kinda the boss of this place. Go to the center of the map and there will be a trapdoor leading down underground.

New look? in Geneforge Series
Infiltrator
Member # 5785

Okey, so they gave the Shaper and Guardian a new look, that is fine..But does not not annoy you that even if you can change your colour you are still stuck with the three basic looks? I wish that for G4 they would make atleast three diffrent looks for every class, includeing more colourpatterns for every look. Don't you agree?

Of course, all shapers were the same robes, but do all shapers have the same bodytype, height, do all shapers have their hood pulled up to cover their face?

The Shapers are inside the Geneforge in the NW corner. Only the three shapers are alive and they will only help you kill the the Drakon Boss (Which name i forgot). So before that you are on your own.

Heh. You see that dagger/shortsword button next to your quickspells? Press that, then press on Khyrryk and you will attack him.

Only two endings? Meh, what makes Geneforge so attractive is the fact that it has (or had) multiple endings.

Do you really need this option? Just prepare for a fight with speed, bless and protection then press the combat button and have a spell/creation/melee attack him, starts a fight no matter he wants it or not.

What do you mean "can't"? Litterary..Or is he just too strong?
What kind of class do you play? Shaper?

In G2, if you want to keep your sanity and avoid canisters and altering then you will have a real damn issue with surviveing since you will not have AoF or Kill nor MM. In G3 the fact that Daze and Strong Daze worke don everyone made me laugh at AoF. Agents in G2 have no way to deal the heavy hits as Guardians nor take the heavy punishment with much health but sitll have to be very personal and attack close to the target (atleast when fanceing ranged enemies), something a Shaper will not have to.

As for Parry..In G2 i had Parry 10 and my chance of Parrying a melee attack was 50%(!), then i had a large chance of deflecting damage, a chance of rippost and a chance of old-school avoiding. In G3 i had Parry of 10 and my chance of parrying a melee attack was around 20%.

More fractions, like maybe 5 or 6? Maybe a fraction consisting of humans that want to remove Shapers and Creations all alike?

I would prefer a game without a Geneforge, or if you have to have one..Let us use it this time? Like in G1.

Yes, i know that "power" is perhaps not the right word for it but in all games of Geneforge there has been one class that has been atleast slightly easier to play then the others.

G1: In my oppinion it was the Shaper, especially back in G1 v1.00 when you could reduce your other traits below starting level and pump up Shaping Skills at 8 from the start (hehe) Nor the agent or the Guardian could pack a punch and survive with ease without speeding, blessing, etc, but the Shaper and his creations could.

G2: The guardian, obviously. The extremly overpowered Parry skill made the entire game easy with it's either reflection most of the damage or parrying all of it. I played a few games as Guardian where i could easily beat the game without touching a canister. The Shaper works well and the Agent is still rather useless in my oppinion, too much speeding up, blessing, running and running again.

G3: Aww, the Parry skill is no good any longer! Heh. However, the Agent has now stepped up to take the Guardians position. Daze now affects all creations within range, something that makes the Agent uberpowerful. Played as loyalist without useing canisters and it worked out fine. The guardian seems useless without his Parry and Shaper works allright, better then before now that you can use Daze and other mind magic more and let your creations do the hitting.

Alright, that is what it hink..Now..What about you?
