Geneforge world geographical questioning. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 12:52 Profile Homepage #11 Well, it makes sense that we never see densely populated areas. As the adventuring type, your character needs monsters, rogues, and other baddies to kill. Those are prevalent in the wilderness, not in and around cities. And densely populated areas don't have nearly as many quests, because there are couriers and guards and such to help keep order. Finally, doing dialogue for all the people would just be too difficult to do. So we're stuck in areas without a lot of people. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Where are the creations that will join you? in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 12:42 Profile Homepage #5 Ah. Well, G1 has none. G2 has an abandoned thahd in The Crags (beginning of the game only), a friendly rat around Fort Muck, a huge roamer in the bandit's warren in the marsh, a servile caster in the Magus Complex (Awakened only), a vlish near a bridge in Rising lands somewhere, a battle alpha in Phariton's Hall, and a servile warrior in The Misfits (pro-servile but not allied with the Takers only). Dikiyoba thinks Dikiyoba has them all, though there may be one or two more in that game. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

The Titan. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 11:02 Profile Homepage #7 Originally by -silver-: quote: if the PC were a continuation of my game, he'd be married to Greta and a rebel agent/infiltrator right along with her. Duh. So that explains why Greta doesn't want to talk about him. He must have been killed in an earlier battle. Or run off with a younger and prettier infiltrator. :P Dikiyoba.

The Agent's Skin in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 07:43 Profile Homepage #5 Maybe it's just Dikiyoba, but Dikiyoba doesn't see the green in the agent's skin. It's abnormally pale skin for someone who doesn't wear a lot of armor and presumably travels around outside a lot, but it's not green. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
HLPM update in Blades of Avernum
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 12 2007 20:30 Profile Homepage #51 [Edit-Directed at Nioca] I was going to ask what the suggested level of the scenario you were in was, but now it doesn't seem to matter as much. Unless you were in Exodus, doing 2000-5000 damage should still take care of just about anything. Dikiyoba.

Wonders of the rebellion. in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 12 2007 19:22 Profile Homepage #5 The twisting scrolls are strands of DNA. For those of you who don't know, sections of DNA, called genes, determine traits like eye color and height. In the Geneforge world, genes also determine your skill with magic, shaping, etc. Replacing genes with different ones makes you or creations different. The Shapers use magic to change genes and so create new or better creations, but it's mostly trial and error. They don't know exactly why it works, they just know that it does. The rebellion has these instruments to see exactly what genes they are modifying, so they have an edge over the Shapers and can modify living organisms through canisters and geneforges and develop new breeds of creations with fewer attempts. Dikiyoba now wonders how long it would take for canister-addicts to start searching for a gene to prevent aging if they weren't involved in a war. After all, what's the point of all the power if you're just going to grow weaker over time and eventually die? Edit: Clarification.

Geneforge Political Spectrum in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 12 2007 18:58 Profile Homepage #102 Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote: Barzahl would never have considered himself a rebel. He saw himself as the only true Shaper. Hmm. I could have sworn that Barzahl had a line about rejecting the Shaper Council, but I can't find it, so never mind. quote: The Rebellion has conquored a variety of different lands throughout the war. The drakons could choose to live in almost any climate, landscape, you name it. But where do they always choose to live? The most inhospitible of places, hidden away in mountains. Yeah, well, there's no denying that the drakons are both crazy and tyrannical. But most serviles, drayks, and gazers wouldn't want to live in such a harsh environment. Dikiyoba.

Geneforge Political Spectrum in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 12 2007 16:24 Profile Homepage #96 Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote: No human would have ever even thought about rebelling against the Shapers until the drakons came along and messed everything up. And who created the drakons, hmm? A human named Barzahl. Slipping creations and items off of Sucia Island was the beginning of the rebellion. And the fact that the rebellion found so many followers so quickly means that there was plenty of rebellious thought, there was just no way to act on it. quote: Are they fighting to survive? They probably could have lived perfectly happy, reclusive lives if they chose to hide away from Shaper civilization. Where would they live, and for how long could they live there before they were discovered? Shaper civilization is expanding. They'd have to compete for living space in the most inhospitable places against other escaped creations, bandits, and humans who don't like Shapers, always afraid of being discovered and killed. Can you imagine how hard it would be to grow food, or how often you'd have to defend youself, or how difficult it would be to find a mate, or how many children wouldn't survive to adulthood? Not exactly an inviting proposition. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Geneforge 4 - 9.41 (9.9/8.8) in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, March 12 2007 15:31 Profile Homepage #9 I've only finished it once, so I haven't seen everything, but I think I've seen enough to rate it. I think I'll give it what I gave G1--a 9.0. It had a different and solid plot, a great inventory system, good combat, shock troopers, and a fairly dynamic world. That said, I can't rate it any higher. Burwood was totally uninteresting and the Trakovite viewpoint was a bit too obvious in the one ending (unleashing the Unbound) I've gotten so far. Dikiyoba.

The FRAPGVRUKCP: 1001 Posts Wiser, or Just Spammier? in General

Geneforge Political Spectrum in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, March 11 2007 19:45 Profile Homepage #87 Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote: Not all the Sucia Island serviles were killed. It says in the endings that the loyalist ones were taken back to safety. As for the rest, they had to be killed, they were rogues. That is the G1 ending, but is that the ending that brought us to G4? I don't think so. Too many Obeyers were in with the Awakened in G2. I think most were killed along with most Awakened and Takers. It would have been interesting to keep them around, though. Instead of having to invent Kiki and the rest of her breed, the Shapers could just use Obeyer serviles. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Having a Shaping Warren or Rebel Safehouse in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, March 11 2007 19:27 Profile Homepage #5 Lord Safey is referencing Murphy's Law (basically, if something can go wrong, it will) to explain why this won't be implemented in G5. Jeff likes to stick with what is easy to do and what he knows sells well. This suggestion would take far too much work for too little pay off. Dikiyoba.
