Tarrasuqe, for someone who (at least according to his or her signature) places value in the karma rating, simply repeating a joke that was cute the first time [but tiring the second] is probably not the way to get a fourth star...

Actually I couldn't care less about those lousy stars!

And now you have one :)

ET, how would rebel shapers become drakon slaves? Any shaper that followed throughout the entire war and survived would have consumed literally hundreds of canisters and partaken in multiple alterations, and maybe even used the Geneforge! They would be stronger than the PC who used Sucia Island's Geneforge, and would be literally unstoppable, even by the "Geneforged" Ur-Drakons. They would never become the slaves of creations, it would be below them. They would kill their past "friends" as they probably have no will to "live" by now, (see Master Hoge and Litalia, how corrupted they were, extremely powerful but without a speck of humanity).

I would only join the rebels because I get power, in canisters, alterations and the Geneforge. Chances are, if I'm a shaper, they wouldn't allow me any of that. Loyal shapers have problems shaping 4th tier creations and casting powerful spells. You could only "survive" as a Loyalist as a Guardian. The loss of humanity is a great price to pay, but for me, it is fair. It may even be welcome should the rebels then betray me; I'll have no second thoughts should I need to kill them.

If I do manage to survive, (as canister insane shapers no longer fear death) I would create my own empire, as the Sucia Island shaper who used the Geneforge did. Why should I care about what happens to other people if I have godly power and no way to think about what I have done?

I would join the rebels if they fixed their system and worked better together, or a different sect which allowed lots of canisters and alterations.

Otherwise, I'd just be like Sharon in G2, or some insane, unaligned shaper.

Geneforge or Avernum Series? in General

1. I prefer Geneforge for many reasons, but most simply because there are canisters.

2. I've heard that G4 was superior to A4, but I haven't played much of anything other than G1-3 so I have no opinion.

3. I've played since... maybe 2002? Geneforge 1 was the first game I've ever played.

4. PC, I want a Mac to play the games earlier :(

I think ET is also overestimating the difficulty of making canisters. G4 implies that all that's required is one guy with Shaping talent and the ability to forge puresteel. Stamping out clandestine canister workshops is likely to be a non-trivial task.
It is also true that the Barzite canister maker in G2 claims that it was difficult. However the drakon in G3 makes it look easy...

If the ultimate goal of the canister movement is just to get more canisters, then soon its followers will realize that every canister used by someone else is one less for them. Then civil war will ensue. Really, where is the motive?

To Exiled Necromancer, I spent more time typing this than I did trying to decipher your message.

But every nation has its own problems. There may be a lot of infighting for the canister movement, but with strong authority (leadership) one could control the movement and lead them to victory! They would create uber creations and easily rampage over the hostile armies.

The canister movement... They might fight for global domination, but most likely: more canisters!

So Lord Safey, you think it's good to use every canister you can get your hands on because you will always have a strand of humanity left? That would be such an advantage to powermongers such as myself.

A great possible problem with the shaper army is that they can't easily train all their apprentices the more powerful creations, such as ur-glaahks and drayks (assuming they're not banned). Canisters can help win the war; they're easy to make, and they will give the apprentices some quick power. One or two to each shaper can give them a massive advantage.

I agree with Synergy about Narnia. The story just doesn't work.

The forces of good got together an army, but for some reason needed a teenage boy to command it. Then, of course, they're all losing until Aslan comes back to life and deus ex machineguns them out of trouble. And the scene with Peter killing the wolf was painfully bad. Holding a sword (rather unsteadily) in roughly the right direction as the wolf runs into it would make a decent first kill scene, if the enemy was a minor minion rather than the chief of the secret police, and if it wasn't being watched by the entire army and a thinly-veiled allegory of a god, and if doing it didn't qualify him to lead said army.

Yea, its just unbelievable how a newbie can kill a leader without even "trying".

How could anyone resist the temptation and just use canisters in moderation? Once you've used the canisters, you'll want more. Canisters are like drugs, but even more addictive. Eventually, you'll have to slurp more canisters, and at an snowballing rate. Even a purist shaper can be eventually tempted by the seized canister, use it and become Barzhal, using more and more every day. Training in the end won't matter, unless you're strong enough to resist it forever.

This is probably a dumb question, but since I have not played much past Geneforge 1, I do not know whether there is a sect that opposes the Shapers without advocating creations' rights. Is there such a group?
The Barzites in G2, led by Barzahl and based in a city called Rising, had such a stance. If you've been paying attention to Emperor Tullegolar, you know their philosophy well, because the Tullegolites are basically just Barzites with a new name and leader. There's a reason Emperor Tullegolar is based in New Rising. :P

Edit: Lord Safey, no more double posts please. If you have something else to say, edit your old post instead.

Dikiyoba.

It does explain much, but Barzhal was never an emperor. :)

I just hate Barzites in one way: they give canisters to anyone. They should only give to the truly worthy and loyal, such as a Barzite shaper.

be kind of funny if some one made a cannister that gave you an immune system so strong that it prevent new canisters from modifying your DNA. I make hundreds of them and leave them in places canister slurpers will find. Then wait for the angry hoard of mad canister uber shapers.
That my friend, is a great idea. :)

Well the G1 Geneforge needed to be more powerful, because the level limit was significantly lower than the other games, especially if you're a Taker with the amulet.

do you think if you used enough canisters would it be the same as useing the geneforge? How many would you need to use?
A minimum of a lot?

Spoiler warning:

8 STR
8 DEX
8 EDR
8 INT
8 MeW
8 MiS?
8 QA?
8 Ana?
8 SC
8 FS
8 MS
8 BS
8 HC

Note that the bonuses are abbreviated in case that you accidentally read ahead. But they should be easy enough to figure out. I think some of the bonuses are wrong... I haven't used the Geneforge in a long time.

These are just my humble opinions, but I think Cars was decent. Better than most animation movies I've seen.

The Chronicles of Narnia, I swear I've seen it before. They just remastered it or something. Not worth seeing.

Good books usually don't spawn good movies. Harry Potter is an example. (At least, I didn't like the HP movies. Some people, like me, don't like the book either.)

Grr... I wish I had Vista. However, I believe it was released maybe two months ago. Not many people have Vista, or still use Windows 2000.

EDIT: The Microsoft website states that Vista should be availible in January 30th, 2007. So why does my friend have it? :confused:
