Are Drakons superior beings? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Try this one first.

Anyone can use canisters, the fact that the Shapers are doing so well in the war without using them is a testament to human superiority.
As for my other reasonings, they may be opinions (logically reasonable ones) but at least they aren't factually untrue (like drakon have innate shaping abilites and there not being any mention of shaper art).

Damn it, you couldn't have posted that when I asked about it a few posts ago? Oh, well. Just imagine another continent to the South or possibly West. North is unlikely since that is where the Ashen Isles are and East is unlikely because then they would have to pass Sucia to travel between the two.

Does anyone have the exact "Western Sea" text?

Hmm... what if the world is round?

I apologize for this image's condition, imageshack likes to butcher them when I choose the resize option.

Anyway... does this seem at all plausible?

Really anticipated ideas for A5?? in Avernum 4

Or how about more penaties for having non-human characters? There were a few instances in the other games, especially Avernum 3, where you would be atttacked by an otherwise friendly group of soldiers because you had a nephil or slith in your party. There should be more of those. Really dramatic ones, like townspeople won't sell to you or you can't get certain quests. It would work extra well for vahnatai, since anti-vahnataism should be at an all time high right about now.

Who is the Hottest? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Shaper
Member # 7420

I shall now analyse the results.

Agent Miranda has an insurmountable lead on everyone else, claiming almost half of all votes. This is probably a result of the fact that most people sympathize with the Shaper cause, and Miranda was the most active female character with this alignment in the series.

Lady Anjali is in second, also a Shaper. I voted for her myself because she was smart, powerful, sweet, conservative, and royalty.

Litalia did not claim as many votes as I expected (8%). Very strange. I also expected more people to vote Shanti (11%), since she came as close as anyone ever did to an intimate relationship with the PC, other than Greta (whom I accidentally left out of the poll). Conclusion: the Shapers have more attractive women than the Rebellion.

Sharon got more than expected. I always imagined her as being older. I suppose she must be a cougar.

I put Matala in their as sort of an idiot filter. More went for her than did for all the serviles combined.

Most disturbingly of all, however, was that Danette did not manage to curry a single vote! This woman invented the canisters and the geneforge itself, and she gets no love? Disgraceful.

Legends of Divinity IC in General

Kulo stared long and hard at the object on the table. A single coin, upon which the face of his emperor stared back at him. This small bit of gold was all he had left. Kulo had been secure in his financial position for some time, owning a small general store right in the center of town. Yesterday it burned down, his own fault, probably, since he vaguely remembers leaving a lamp lit the night before. It was low on oil, it didn’t seem like a big deal at the time. The fire combined with the emperor’s recent taxes to support the war had ruined him. He would lose his home soon, and all that he had left for certain was the single gold coin in front of him. How could fortune abandon him so? Kulo fell to his knees and asked why, why was this all happening to him?

“Oh, don’t give me that. How is it my fault that you were too careless to blow out your lamps at the end of the day? I know it’s convenient but don’t go blaming all your little problems on me.”

Kulo turned around. In his one room home, his bed was against the wall opposite the table he was sitting at, and on his bed lay a man he had never seen before. No, this was no man. He wore the most ridiculous outfit one has ever seen, very colorful, all elaborate frills and ribbons, and they floated in the air around him as well as if he were under water. This being liked to make it clear he was divine. And there was only one god that was as vain as this on. He was Fallian, god of ambition, fortune, greed, it all depended on your point of view, really. As was expected, Kulo groveled, Fallian looked down, pleased.

“Oh, forgive me, Fallian! I only wished some relief from these hard times. I meant no offense!”

“Of course not.” Fallian’s voice had an arrogant yet cheerful tone. “Well, is there something you would like to ask me?” Fallian liked interfering in mortal affairs, though he always made them ask first.

“Please, I am ruined, I need help, just to get back on my feet again.”

“What do I look like, a money lender?” His voice was less cheerful now, “I am the god of fortune! And I am generous, benevolent, magnanimous! Lucky for you, I love giving mortals second chances.”

“Thank you, great one, thank you!”

Fallian's voice became cheerful again. “Of course, the key word in ‘second chance’ is, naturally, ‘chance.’”

“Do you wish me to spin your great Wheel of Chance? Like the Emperor once did, long ago?”

“Naw. I don’t feel like the wheel today.” Fallian stood and paced around the small, cluttered home, careful not to touch anything. It was a magnificent sight to see his robes flow around him as he moved. He stopped at the table, and picked up the coin on it with his long, pointy fingernails. “The new sewer system being built in your town. It will make a great deal of money for its investors. If you only had a few hundred more gold, you could invest, and become a very rich man. I am willing to give you that money.” Kulo’s face lit up. “Of course, we must go through the formalities first. Heads or...” Fallian glanced at the other side of the coin, “swords?”

“The emperor has brought me only sorrow. I pick swords!”

And so Fallian smiled, a mischievous smile. He threw the coin in the air, and it stayed there for almost an eternity. With lightning reflexes, he caught it again, thrust his hand outward, and opened his palm. Kulo nervously gazed down at the coin. The emperor gazed back at him. Fallian smiled, “You lose.” The color fell from Kulo’s face. Fallian, never losing his smile, shrugged, and with a burst of light, was gone.

Kulo collapsed back into his chair, his head in his hands. Then it occurred to him, he could still invest that one coin, maybe he could still make some money! Then another sickening realization struck him. The god had taken Kulo’s last coin with him when he vanished.

Why does everyone like Aimee? She didn't even do much. The only reason I would want to see her again would be for closure (horrible death). Kelner is great, though. I like that we got to see him go from silent apprentice to the powerful wizard he is today.

Really? That's strange. If the Sholai lands are West of Sucia, but Sucia is East of Terrestia (it would have to be in order to be near Dillame) then wouldn't that mean Trajkov would have to pass Terrestia in order to get to Sucia? Great, I feel like one of those nerds that over-analyses Star Trek or something.

Oh, and I just realized Waylander said drakons have an innate shaping ability. This is not true. They have the ability to be able to learn to shape (something other creations don't have) but that doesn't mean they can all shape, they have to either learn or use canisters like everyone else, well, except spawners, are they superior beings?

I found a way to trick Freewebs when that happens. When the site is taking forever to load, go to a different site, such as your homepage, but quickly hit the 'back' button right afterwards. Works for me.

Alright Waylander, I guess this isn't a real discussion anymore. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? What you're saying is like someone saying "oh, well, just because monkeys have never written an award winning novel doesn't mean they aren't capable, that's just your opinion." Please, is that the best you can do? I have based all my arguments on what I have encountered in the games, nothing more, nothing less. You wouldn't happen to have any game related evidence yourself, would you?

Edit: Oh, and yes, there was a mention of Shaper art in Geneforge I.

I can think of a third option, although it changes the canister system almost as radically as #2: make all canisters interchangeable. Rather than picking a canister effect at random and being saddled with something useless like a level of Create Thahd, you'd always get Create Thahd from the first canister you picked up, Searer from the second canister, and so on and so forth. You have to keep using the early, less useful canisters because it's the only way to get to the good stuff.
At first I thought this conflicted with game canon, which says the canister maker places one specific ability into each canister, but you could just say something like "oh, that canister had create thahd in it the whole time" even though it didn't. Whatever, good idea. It gets my Emperor's Seal of Approval®, mostly because it makes it more difficult to resist delicious canisters.

Anyone watch that HBO series Rome? The season one finale was Caesar's death. Everyone expected him to say those famous last words, but instead he just gurgled. Good show, and it's even better now that he's dead and everything is in chaos.
