If you could be any creation... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 19 2007 18:15 Profile Homepage #29 Originally by Black Haze: quote: Anyone think that Drakonssss can fly? Or Drayks? the wings aren't there for nothing,right? I do remember one of the G3 loading screens was a drayk, and that it described its wings as vestigial, so that's a no. There might have been something in G2 about drakons flying, but given that I don't remember anything about them flying in G4, I don't think they can. Certainly not when you consider how tiny their wings are compared to their size and weight. Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote: The game often says that the rebels hide in caves so as not to be spotted by creations that fly through the skies. They are probably refering to wingbolts. See, whenever the game doesn't specify a specific creation to fill these roles, I just assume it's some tiny creation the PC never learns to make. Why use a wingbolt, which is easy to spot and hard to make, when you could make something smaller, like a bird or even a mini-wingbolt? Dikiyoba has absolutely no proof of that, though. Edit: Typo.

G4 EDITOR in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 19 2007 17:04 Profile Homepage #13 Go to the Scripts folder (should be in the Data folder in the Geneforge 4 folder) and remove the file that the editor replaces to somewhere safe so you'll have it if you ever need it. Then put the downloaded file into the Scripts folder. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Or at least, not an option I have time to hunt down. So, Arancaytar: -How much programming do I have to know to use it? -How does it look for long term stability? (Besides frequently not working, Freewebs deletes accounts after a period of inactivity, and that's one of the reasons I want to switch.) -What is the necessary bribe for leaving Dikiyoba and Dikiyoba's site unmonitored? :P Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

No matter how much I despise their ways, they aren't quite as mad as the drakons. Originally by Nikki: quote: We'd get rid of the drakons somehow, and then the whole "having to blow things up and generally being less than friendly" thing wouldn't be a problem. Dikiyoba suggests leveling up, improving, buffing up, and unleashing hundreds of fyoras. Edit: Typo.

Wingbolts are over-rated in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, March 18 2007 15:07 Profile Homepage #14 You know, I don't think this is a debate that can be won. Or at least, doesn't need to be won. Sure, you can crunch numbers, but there are so many little variations in personal preferences and playing style that what works for one person might not work for another. And G4 is so open that everyone can get away with what they want. If you think wingbolts suck, don't use them. The same goes for drayks or any other creation. Dikiyoba is still waiting for the person who can turn the lowly Warrior into a fearsome and awesome force to arrive. There must be someone capable of it out there! :P Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Are Drakons superior beings? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, March 18 2007 09:19 Profile Homepage #107 Barzahl and his researchers probably made several attempts at creating a prototype gazer, but none of them were workable, and the resulting gazer was dead, crippled, or too weak.

Are Drakons superior beings? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, March 17 2007 21:28 Profile Homepage #96 Originally by Stillness: quote: If they could bless themselves, use mental abilities, or heal that would be a great advantage. They do not, it seems because they cannot. Scourge Vodhizon (or whatever the correct spelling is) casts some sort of fear spell, and perhaps Salassar does as well, so they are capable of it. They just don't use them (probably arrogance). But then again, there are probably a lot of Shapers who have at least some skill in healing, but they never heal themselves. Dikiyoba.

Legends of Divinity IC in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, March 17 2007 17:36 Profile Homepage #7 Fourty was a demigod. He had the powers and immortality of a god, but he had no rank or followers. Instead, he worked for Burrard, patron god of bureaucracy. Burrard required lots of paperwork to carry out his job properly, which meant a lot of workers to deal with it. Fourty had been one of those workers for the past 350 years. His office was still small, windowless, dusty, and overflowing with paperwork, and his work had never seemed so boring. He had been categorizing gods and goddesses as either good or evil for the past two years. There were literally thousands of deities in existence, and the list changed constantly as new gods rose to prominence and old ones faded away or changed their patronage, so it was a difficult and frustrating task. At least Fourty had an objective definition for "good" and "evil" by now, or the task would be even worse. He read the description for Molter, god of self-righteousness. Why did he and his followers all have sticks up... never mind. He clearly belonged on the good list. Then Fourty read the description for Saluc, god of bloodlust. Human sacrifices, worshippers planning to conquer other nations and rule through fear and violence, a high priestess who sharpened her teeth to points so she could tear out the throats of her enemies without a weapon... a clear-cut case of an evil god. Fourty was about to add him to the appropriate list when he paused. Saluc had come up before. When? Oh, that's right. Saluc had been killed about five years before. Fourty dropped the pen, buried his face in his hands and sighed. So much information to sort through, and who knew how much of it was out of date? His patience suddenly snapped. Surely he could be doing something more useful than all this paperwork! He threw down his quill pen, stood up, and walked out of his office. He had nothing but the clothes he was wearing, a penknife, a few coins, and an intimate (and often unsettling) knowledge of both bureaucracy and the divine, but he would make it work. Somehow. --- (Dikiyoba promises he'll end up with followers right away. :P ) [ Saturday, March 17, 2007 17:38: Message edited by: Dikiyoba ] Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
If you could be any creation... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, March 17 2007 15:15 Profile Homepage #11 Originally by Nija_Halycron: quote: btw is it possible to replace the PC with a Darkon grafic? Well, it's probably possible. I managed to turn my PC into a fyora (color-shifted green to take care of those fyora vs. cryoa issues) in G1, at least, at the expense of ever equipping a sword or baton and of the plot making any sense whatsoever. And G1 had the advantage of your PC being the only one to use that section of script, so that would be an additional thing to deal with in G4. On the other hand, Dikiyoba believes there is one good thing about this idea. Since the modified character is basically useless in battle, modifying the lifecrafter is the best choice, therefore taking care of the whole pants issue.

Game music -the poll in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, March 17 2007 14:55 Profile Homepage #6 In terms of which music goes with which game best, well, there's obviously Nethergate. But since that's not in the poll, Avernum 2. Geneforge 1 is a very, very close second, though. Geneforge 2 is nice, but it doesn't work so well when compared to the music of the rest of the series. Geneforge 3's music is just bad. It doesn't match up with the intro picture or the rest of the series. The music for Avernum 4 and Geneforge 3 would work better if switched. Dikiyoba.

If you could be any creation... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, March 17 2007 12:09 Profile Homepage #5 I wish I had voted for mixture instead of fyora. I always have to think about it--fyora or cryoa? Fyora or cryoa? If I could switch breath attacks at will, well, that would be pretty handy. Dikiyoba is in no doubt about which graphic, though. The new one. Looking mean and nasty is always better than looking sort of cute. Edit: Typo.
