The canister effect... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Shaper
Member # 7420
Profile Homepage #1
Canisters are basically mini, disposable geneforges. They were probably originally a prototype for the final goal, but since they are easier to make they have become more common, despite the fact that they are somewhat incomplete and far inferior to a geneforge.

They are created when the maker of the canister fills a crystal canister with essence and infuses a little bit of his own genetic make-up in there with it. Somehow, when activated, this gene-infused essence acts upon the user, replacing their own genes with the ones printed in the canister's essence. The process also requires puresteel, and I suppose we are supposed to assume the puresteel is destroyed in the process, since they don't seem to be big on recycling canisters.

The side effect is delicious, delicious power. You have a new skill printed into your genetic make-up so that you don't have to learn it. In fact, unlike learned skills, canistered skills are a part of you, like you were born knowing it, which is far superior to a learned skill, which can be forgotten and or never really mastered. Another side effect is a pure mind. Canisters make you see the world for what it really is, and thus you have little patience for lesser being that will get in your way from time to time. Lets just say this speeds up natural selection a little bit. These angry feeling do not effect you when dealing with other skilled shapers.

I didn't say Lucas was a Nazi. I was rooting for the bad guys in those movies. I thought that was assumed, I'll spell it out for you next time.

You're right, of course. I should definitly spend more time paying attention to online debates, doing research for them, making sure my arguments on trivial matters are rock solid, lest people I'm never going to meet in real life should think any less of me. Is it as glorious as it all sounds, Alec?

Serviles in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Shaper

Marcelo: What freeborn serviles are you talking about from Geneforge 4? Crazy cultists? Or the ones that serve the Drakon masters of the Rebellion? The real minds behind the Rebellion are the drakons, the only rebel serviles in the game that are doing well at all serve them, and owe them all of their success.

Randomizer: Are you saying serviles aren't smart enough to figure out banditry on their own? No matter how you answer, I win. I am the emperor!

Actually, if what Lenar said is true, that's the best. I remember registration would never carry over when I reinstalled old Exile games. I didn't realize it worked differently now. I guess I should read those emails.

I remember meeting the "born free" serviles in Geneforge 2, they jump me right off the bat, attacking me in open hostility. Sure, I was saved by an opposing group of serviles, but that was only because they wanted my help in annihilating their opponents. They are devious creatures, serviles, attacking innocent humans as well as their own kind. Never trust them.

When serviles live on their own, they will usually resort to banditry, or worse. If they actually manage to form a society (usually under the guidance of stronger creations) it will always have a hostile agenda towards outsiders.

Edit: Serviles wear hoods, Black Haze. You have seen them before, right?

My theory: serviles were made physically unattractive (hence the hoods) to discourage such abominations from happening. After all, why would a human pass up something willing to obey your every command otherwise? If they did mate, it would likely produce something ugly and infertile, similar to mules.

They are basically inferior humans. Serviles are smaller than the average human. Though sometimes they can be made more muscular, for the most part they are weaker than humans as well. They have small brains, and though they generally are not very intelligent, history has shown that given time, they have the potential to equal humans in intelligence. However, they rarely escape the inferiority complex shaped into them, as they are easily persuaded to submit to will of stronger beings.

Also, aside from being able to evolve intelligence, serviles are just as likely to go completely insane when seperated from shaper masters, reverting to an agressive animal state, attacking at the drop of a hat. This shows that their mind is extremely unstable, and they are better of under the care of a superior being. Serviles can only learn magic by going insane, and can't learn shaping at all, unless of course they are shaped to be able to do these things by a superior being first.

As for the nose, no explaination has ever been given, really. I suppose it would make sense if the shapers who created serviles gave it to them so that they could sense things humans could not, since they are often put work in dangerous places such as mines or swamps.

Come on Salmon, be a little more original. Anyone on this entire board could say that to anyone else on this entire board at any time. You could even replace the word 'board' with 'internet' for that matter... or 'world'. You're just mad because you fit the mold just like all the others.

Uhg, you really are one of them. Just when I was starting to think I could trust you, you turn around and sink to their level with all the smileys, lame jokes and meta-posting. I am sorely disappointed. It's almost as if your account was hacked into by Alorael or something.

Everything caps at 30. However, wearing items makes it go higher, so theoretically you could edit an item script and it might give you otherwise impossibly high stats.

Yes, yes, it seems I have been taking many different engine upgrades for granted. I think the whole minimap/inventory interface might be my favorite improvement. Looking forward to it, all too willing to pay a mere $12 for it, too.

Could someone please remind me of the differences between the original Nethergate engine and the Blades of Avernum engine? I know conversation is different and gameplay is generally smoother, but wasn't that it?
