In geneforge, all npc shapers have blue uniforms... Is there a reason for this, is this the official shaper uniform, or am I missing something? It seems a bit odd, that you can chose your uniform like you want, but all other shapers have blue robes. -------------------- -I'm not evil, I'm just different in a more violent way Posts: 4 | Registered: Monday, December 4 2006 08:00 |

The shaper teacher in GF3 has red robes. Other than that, though, it is weird that most shapers wear blue. The mages wear blue as well, come to think of it. Maybe it's symbolic of their connection to essence? Or perhaps blue is a color of power in the shaper world. Or perhaps Jeff just likes blue. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

My guess is that there's only so many graphics that can be put with a game. Either that, or maybe mages and shapers are also part of some sort of religious cult or something. Who knows? -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts. And I know I'm not crazy because the little man who lives on my shoulder told me so. If people don't think there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with you. Posts: 558 | Registered: Friday, September 15 2006 07:00 |

I would not call Master Hooge so much Important, and Jeff has showed us that it's possibel to atleast have one character with a different robe, but why master Hooge only? And not Zarkary, Barzahl, the wife for the master of Dhonals keep (can't remember either of there names)... -------------------- -I'm not evil, I'm just different in a more violent way Posts: 4 | Registered: Monday, December 4 2006 08:00 |

Maybe all these people have so much essence oozing out of them, that anything they wear ends up blue before long. I'm imagining the Shaper market for anti-perspirants must be strong. What are embarrassing underarm stains on a hot day, compared to exuding a rogue Fyora? EDIT: 'Horses sweat, men perspire, and shapers gently glow.'

Blue for the Egyptians where at the same time as gold the most important colour. To Tibetans it is the color of the mind so it might be an coincidence that to a lot of cultures blue is important in the same way that gold is. nevertheless we live on a blue planet so as the shapers it could represent the richness of the sea and it's powers because in geneforge the shapers control the sea so as the trade routes where traders export their shipping to nearby coast. Or they just like blue.
