Fixed. And next chapter. Or possibly the one after that. Geez.

Don't be taking your anger out on Dikiyoba. Dikiyoba is still alive.

Chapter 14: Plans

Dikiyoba also fixed a few typos in Chapter 12 and added the GIFTR and rats to the Appearances page.

Question about the sides... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Councilor
Member # 6600
Profile Homepage #1
1. No. You can't destroy the Geneforges the way you could in previous games.

2. Yes, it's possible to remain fairly neutral. There will be two times where you can't continue forward until you complete a major quest for either the Shapers or the Rebels. But if you complete one quest for one side and the other quest for the other side, both sides will still deal with you. But you will have to pick either the Rebel, Shaper, or Trakovite ending to finish the game.

3. No, you can do either. The Shapers will be more forgiving of you getting the caravan to safety than the Rebels will of you betraying it in terms of reputation, though.

I don't know if there's one scenario that can replace VotDT in terms of size, but two or three beginner's scenarios would probably amount to the same thing.

If not, there's always TM's Artifacts Hall. :P

Is this for G1 or G2? It sounds like G1, in which case you can only trade with him if you ask him how you could get the money for passage before you pay him off. If you didn't, you're out of luck.

Weird creations??? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Yes, it's a very good idea not to destroy friendly towns/encampments unless given a quest to do so or at the very end of the game, lest you screw up the plot or miss out on other quests.

I've also found it best to do everything else I want to do in the Forsaken Lands and then take on Shaila, but I don't think Southforge evacuates until you actually meet the caravan at the Sinkhole Bridge.

Eh... appearance aside, it's still a pretty generic battle creation, just one with bonus AP and stronger attacks. Even the name is generic.

If it's getting your money's worth you're worried about, Spiderweb has a one-year refund policy, so you can get a refund if you don't like the rest of the game for some reason.

Nalyd's right about the forum order. (Though the order can change in the story, just like it does on the board itself.)

That says "reality show" more than "movie" to me.

Of course, for all Dikiyoba knows, a DDR-based reality show already exists. It wouldn't be at all surprising.

Keeping the Free creations permanently in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Councilor
Member # 6600

Probably, but I've gone in that way first before and I don't remember it.

Hmm. I bet I've gone in through the mudpits to confront Shaila without Greenfang (but with one of my own artilas), then picked up Greenfang right before I walked Shaila to the docks. That's probably why I got the message when I shouldn't have.

Originally by CrouchingOwl:

I was always curious about greenfang there, before she actually disappears and after completing the Shalia quest by getting her to the Shapers Greenfang kept triggering a script about being anxious or something when I passed the docks area. Was I missing some special encounter, like say go to a certain place and you find a dead Shalia with a note left by the shapers saying rebels beware or something? Never found out
I usually trigger this message while I'm clearing the Docks zone before ever encountering Shaila. As such, Greenfang is nervous because it senses her for the first time and isn't entirely sure how to respond. That's the explanation that seems most sensible to me, and I think the message appearing after meeting Shaila is a goof up.

Edit: In fact, Dikiyoba just checked the Boiling Mudpits zone script. The same Greenfang-is-anxious message is there too, but for some reason never triggers.

Trakovites in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Councilor
Member # 6600
Profile Homepage #2
Trakovites are only against Shaping new life forms, so creatures that can reproduce naturally (like serviles) and magic are okay. They are also okay with ending Shaping gradually, so your ability to Shape creations won't be restricted in any way. You can play whichever class you prefer.

The best ending you're going to get as a Trakovite is if you play pro-Rebel. You can't ever officially join the Trakovites, but if you talk to the right people, they'll tell you what to do to get the Trakovite ending. The first person is in Dillame.

Are we suppose to answer which challenge section was hardest or our favorite? I thought G2 was the hardest because I didn't particularily like it and so didn't have the stomach for any reloads. G1's challenge section was probably my favorite. Matala felt like more of a challenge than the Titan.

As usual, Dikiyoba has not played G3 and therefore cannot comment on it.

Let's see...

Episode 3 had 41 chapters divided into 9 parts. They were probably shorter than Episode 4's chapters.

Episode 3 was the longest by a fair amount and Episode 2 was the shortest. The totals were something like 33000, 27000, and 55000 words. Episode 4 is currently at 23295 words, more or less.

Slartucker complied a bunch of Episode-related information here.

And the total death count for this update was 5. The total permanant, onstage death count for actual members in the entire episode is 15, plus 3 deaths of Tyranicus that were only mentioned and 2 temporary deaths of Lazarus.

Given that I was hitting so many errors I was unable to post about an hour ago, I'd say no.

Originally by Arancaytar:

Dikiyoba was under the impression that the length of posts mattered more than the number of posts. So perhaps locking threads of mostly long posts (like debate threads and RPs) at 400 posts but letting threads of mostly short posts (like the What have you been reading lately? thread) go until 600 or 750 posts would work too. Whatever is easier for you.
