Well it probably would depend on what type of mine is used right? I mean, the rebel mines are just organic goo (correct me if I'm wrong). The mines more commonly used by the Shapers are the ones with creature-like characteristics. And even with the shaper mines, if you disarm them, they are still technically alive. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

Not so cute when they form packs that are conected through telekinesis and when you attack one it calls all its buddies (if you don't kill it in one hit). -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

A properly grown Rotghroth can speak and has basic reasoning skills. If I remember correctly Vlish are marked as having, "moderate rogue tendencies." So they may go rogue more often than you think. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

I have a tenative idea that would make temporary creations a more viable option. I'm not sure how many people have thought of this, so please tell me if you like the idea. In G4 there are many enemies and some allies that can shape during combat. What would it be like if you could shape during combat, but only charged/unstable creations? That would make charged creations worth something or at least more interesting.

Does anyone else find it strange that there is one more vote in "I don't think Jeff sympathizes..." in the second question than in the third one. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

Just as I expected... Everyone who thinks that Jeff may sympathize with one or the other of the sides think that Jeff is against them. Of course, I can't critisize them for this since I did the same thing and just am aware of it. For some reason we always feel people have it out for us... -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

I left it out because I wanted to polarize the more traditional conflict, I didn't forget about them. But it is easy to be a martyr in the game, but I doubt many people would really want to fight for a lost cause. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

Actually you and I are pretty much on the same page except I don't think Shapers are that cruel, overbearing though. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

I have recently played through all the Geneforge series (all loyalist, no canisters except in G1 and no magic or shaping in G4) and was just wondering the general concensious was on who you sympotized with and who you may think Jeff sypothizes with based on the script. I know that Jeff can't comment on who he may or may not like more, but I'd like to see how people think based off the script. P.S. I think that Jeff did a good job at making it controversal as to who you favor and doesn't obviously favor one or the other. I'm just wonding how people feel.

I was just thinking about any unbalances in G4 and was wondering if anyone thought there were some tweaks that should be introduced when G5 comes out. I, personally, think that slowing hits that happen automatically with each hit are a bit on the unbalanced side. I know that there weren't really any neccessary foes you had to kill that were overlypowerful in this aspect, but I am biased against it having just run a no magic no nothing character. It got rediculas when the Ur-Drakons were hitting me 10 times in a row without me getting a single AP. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

9.75 and my favorite. ET's suggestion that there is too much explanation is just what I love about it. In G1 I get the best feeling of the Shapers: their weaknesses, their strengths, their ambitions, their cautions, etc. I love storytelling in games and wouldn't have it any other way. Storytelling is why I play RPG's. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |
