Regulation - Common Descent in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, May 16 2007 23:27 Profile Homepage #3 I'm just really, really impressed that they managed to pull out enough collagen in a sufficiently intact state to sequence it. I mean, I know it's a particularly stable protein, but still. [ Wednesday, May 16, 2007 23:28: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Of course, due to the changes to the AP system, running away to avoid being attacked is less effective than in previous GF games anyway. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Reputation Cheat in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 12 2007 23:01 Profile Homepage #10 Reputation can only do so much for you. To get into Shaper Camp Gamma without being attacked you need a pass, which you can only get if you got the Repair Moseh quest from Alwan. You don't have to complete the quest (you can kill him instead), but you do have to talk to Alwan after you resolve the Moseh situation one way or the other.

Is it wise to... in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 12 2007 04:43 Profile Homepage #3 I'd really recommend waiting for a golden crystal if you're going to actually be attacking with that claymore; it makes your melee attacks much stronger. (On the other hand, if you're to be using your melee weapon primarily as a melee weapon rather than a stat-booster, the Oozing Sword or Viper's Touch is a better choice anyway.) Life drain gives you so little HP that it's almost useless, and there are enough golden crystals in the game that as long as you only put them on equipment that you plan to use for the rest of the game, you don't really have to worry about "wasting" them. What kind of character fights in melee but has low endurance, anyway? Are you a shock trooper or something?

Got ethics? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, May 5 2007 20:50 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: There does seem to be something a bit intriguing here, though: we are mixing up utility, which is strictly about effects, with intentions. That seems quite right to me, but isn't it a bit unusual? I'd say this happens for the same reason that act utilitarianism is famously difficult to put into practice in general: individuals aren't in a position to assess all the effects of every action they take, so often the best that a society can do is make sure people try their best to do good. Punishing a well-intentioned but harmful act only serves a purpose if whoever did it should have known it was harmful. Conversely, rewarding an act performed from selfish motives that happens to benefit others is generally unnecessary, since the act would presumably be performed even without the extra reward. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

L2 provides shielding and L3 provides elemental resistance. A few spells produce qualitatively different effects even after L3. These include War Blessing (magic resistance at L4), and Summon Shade/Divine Host (summons new kinds of shade up to L5, then starts summoning things other than shades at higher levels.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

To surpass even level 250 in BoA, all you have to do is put one god character with a bunch of level 1s. The Editor takes their average. If you tried this in an actual scenario (as opposed to the HLPM, which does things in a special way), you would find out that it is not the case.

A few probs. getting north of Fort Emerald etc. in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, May 1 2007 03:31 Profile Homepage #3 quote: Originally written by Nija_Halycron: Also its possible to script to get outside of the Fort but I'd recommend waiting, the monsters on the other side are quite tough. Don't do this. There was a bug in earlier versions of the game where you could get north of Fort Emerald and find a certain quest item before you were supposed to. It broke the continuity of the plot pretty badly, and could result in one town being unvisitable for the rest of the game. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
