Avernum V. Jeff has made it quite clear that AVV is coming. Someday. In complete honesty, I don't want another Geneforge after giving it a lot of thought. G3 really, well, soured me on the Geneforge story. Exremist views on both sides, each more dastardly than the other, with no middle ground left. Blech. Of course, a whole new game would be great. Not Avernum, not Geneforge, not Nethergate. New. Perhaps using AVIVs engine but a whole new story, plot, new concepts, races, and creatures. Mmm. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish. Posts: 1104 | Registered: Tuesday, February 12 2002 08:00 |

G4 is the most likely, unless Jeff wants to do something completely different. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I think Geneforge 4 would be fantastic, if it were done properly. …Oh, hang on a minute. That's what I said about Geneforge 3— Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

Genevernum? What would that entail? Planar colission? Hacking through both dervishes and Battle Betas? Personally, I would like to see a Nethergate sequel. -------------------- ^ ^ Izzannor lives again! Say hello to my little friend! Posts: 15 | Registered: Saturday, December 3 2005 08:00 |

At least, as Jeff indicated, GF4 will have a new direction in that you will not even be a shaper this time around. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Cool! In that case, it would certainly be properly done. I felt that Geneforge 3 should've expanded the player's horizons a bit, and that would've been how I did it. I hope the Shaper Council pulls off the kid gloves in 4, and starts tapping into some of their barred projects... Becoming the enemy to fight the enemy, and all that. I'd like to see a Geneforge that can be used by humans again. That's probably the thing I missed most in 2 and 3.

I was bitterly disapointed with G3... But to give Jeff the credit he deserves, he did AVIV right. It really is a well done game. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

The engine and execution is well done I grant you. However, the plot is pathetically predictable and would have been a lot better had it been just about ANYTHING else. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

When GF4 does come out I feel that this 4 game long war will end. Kill hoards of shapers and eventually the council, or kill hoards of rebels and... well you get the point. It's about time that the battle ends. Of course there would be more to the plot then that. As for AV5 It should rap up the plot too. Avernum declares war on the Empire and kills them. After all these plots can only be streched out so far, before the game gets dull and predictable. Nethergate 2, can't really see it. I mean it's based on a real world war between Celts and Romans. It could only last so long before it dived into full fantasy. And last. Genvernum, imagine: During the two wars are over the two worlds meet each other Shapers and the Empire they team up. Then, the Rebels and Avernum unite to crush their foes. I can even see a Genevernum 2: After the war against the foe is over the two winning nations battle each other. Rebels are insane and Avernum isn't. The Empire and Shapers both want to control the world and what not. -------------------- Constitutional monarchies are the in monarchies.

Wow. The idea of a Genvernum is horrifying. -------------------- Nobody appreciates me. It's all "Igor! Fetch some wine!" "Igor! Clean up this experiment!" or "Igor!

Isn´t A IV already a Genevernum? I mean ´cause of the graphics and engine? I think it´s just like Geneforge without Shapers and their stuff. -------------------- You know, why the Sliths are green - because of their scales. Maybe you know why some slith eyes were once red - ´cause the demons, which led them were red. But why are the eyes of the Slith Lord Followers red?

Avernum V will be about Avernites and the EMpire finding out that they live in a prision planet. They'll find out a spaceship, the mages will find out how to make it work, and then AVERNUM V turns out to be a SCI-FI RPG!! After many generations of emprisionment, who did this to us? Why? Where are they? Hummm... Nah. :P -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

So it´s for sure, the Vahnatai were our overseers but we were stronger. Their trying to regain control about the surface failed! :P Or do I got just to many bad ideas because of Rentar? ;) -------------------- You know, why the Sliths are green - because of their scales.
