Geneforge is overall my favorite engine. It's just smoother than the Exile one and it also reminds me of Fallout, which I guess makes me biased. Too bad. Question 11: Avernum 4 had area of effect spells, too. Question 20: All missile weapons use up charges in the Geneforge series. Question 22: Exile had a few useless items. Garbage, at least. I can't beleive some people said they prefered white dots alerting them. That was the worst feature ever. At least no one said they liked the Geneforge 3 boat system. That comes in as the second worst feature ever. You should have had a question about graphics: Exile icons or Avernum ones? I like the new 3D view but I really miss all the cool Exile monster pictures. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Don't ever let it be said that Emperor Tullegolar debates about things he knows nothing about. I may have passed high school physics but that's only because my teacher was out half the year getting gal-bladder surgery and they passed everyone in that class as a courtesy. I'm glad I stayed out of this particular debate. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

You're being cynical. I don't think that Jeff was being careless here, I think he just assumed we could figure some things out on our own. It's not like this involves contradicting dates or something like that. Why can serviles use canister now? New technology. I'll take the 'a wizard did it' explanation over the 'writer screwed it up' explanation any day. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Randomizer: That's why I'm not a Shaper. I wish there was a sect that supported shaping yourself without supporting creation rights. I miss Barzahl. I don't understand what Grimm's reasoning is for someone who shapes themselves owing obedience to the Shapers. He call them creations, but they are not. They were not created, so they do not owe anyone their life. Do they owe the creator of the geneforge itself? Maybe... If anything, someone who has shaped new abilities into themselves is a more pure shaper than one who has learned to use shaping as a tool. The only analogy I can think of right now is a Shaper being someone with a hammer hammering nails into a peice of wood, and someone who used the geneforge as someone who can drive the nails in with their bare hands. Who is superior? It is the Shapers who should be bowing to the shaped, not the other way around. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Serviles shaped by the geneforge can do lots of things they otherwise could not. Use magic, shape, and, apparently, use canisters. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:It's narrow-minded people like you who give shaping a bad name. You do realize that shaping can be used for things other than killing, don't you? Do you think that ornks are a danger to the world? No, they are delicious and nutritious. I shudder to think of what people would eat if it were not for them. Slarty, I kind of agree with you. However, I think Jeff started ditching the whole power vs. moderation angle on pupose to show the desperate measures taken in times of total war. With all that power floating around, the Trakovite ideology seems very, very unrealistic, and only a walking deus ex machina like the PC would even be able to think about being able to follow it and accomplish something in its name. Orange bring up an important point. Once shaping is banned, it will only be a matter of time before they attack magic as a whole. Next thing you know, another domino will fall and they will try to murder anything at all infused with essence. Healing craft counts as shaping, yes? Trakovites are against healing magic? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Those glorious technologies wouldn't exist were it not for shaping. Why would anyone want to prevent any future advancements that would make life easier for people? I wonder if the Trakovites consider healing spells as a form of shaping as well. Either way, that still leaves the questions of order and/or forcing humans to fight in battle. Sure, people complain that the rebellion is ravaging their cities, but at least the Shapers aren't conscripting them into their army to help fight them off. quote:So does everyone else. That is, unless you steer the force you control in the opposite direction of what you think is right. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Is anyone here a Trakovite? Does anyone actually agree with their ideas? Would the world of Geneforge really be better without shaping? Come on, how could all the benefits of such a glorious technology be denied? It gives us food, servants, and protection. It makes life easier for all, giving humanity time to take on more scholarly pursuits. Only under a banner of peace and order can civilization prosper. Without shaping, where would the world be? First of all, order would collapse due to the lack of a powerful ruling force. Without Shapers in control, just anyone can come to power. They wouldn’t have to be strong or intelligent, it would be total chaos. Inhospitable areas would be uninhabitable due to lack of shaper made plants. We’d have to build inefficient doors, use crude weapons like bows and arrows, and pick locks with strange tools that don’t do the work for you. Even worse, humans would be doing the jobs serviles do now, imagine, humans scrubbing floors and sweeping! Worst of all, we would have to send our own sons and daughters to die in battles when creations could have gone in their places. Is that a world you would prefer? Are we barbarians? Next thing you know they'll want to ban magic. Madness. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

This was the first time I used google's translator, and I was surprised that it actually put the words in German order. That's much more than I can say for the translator that I used to cheat my way through five years of German. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Hey. Stop trying to turn the "compliment Geneforge 4" thread into a "complain about Nethergate" thread! I know it is difficult for you guys to go for more than five or six posts without complaining about something but really, this game deserves better. I was playing the game again for a different ending and I noticed more of the little things, like that there is a different image for every kind of pod and spores. I also like the variety of different types of mines as well. Still not sure that the green orbs do, however, as I've never allowed one to set off. -------------------- You lose.

quote:So, my plan to starve of the weak has flaws, eh? At least I'll still have plenty of people to work in my sweat shops. Sure people won't starve due to lack of food, but they could lose their jobs because of its abundance. The United States grants huge subsidies to its farmers, so huge that they can sell their goods for less than it costs them to produce. So now they go and sell it to any developing country, offering it at prices lower than the local farmers could ever dream of. Since most of the developing world relies on agriculture to form the basis of its economy, these countries are now screwed. Sure, the people won't starve, that is, as long as they find a new market for their labor. At least that means no shortage of sweatshop workers. I suppose this is more of an economic issue than an environmental one, however. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |
