Canisters are only reason I can't play as shaper.When I see it I simply can't resist the need to use it.

G1 is great because there's nothing bad about canister mania. So yeah, my current characters are canister FIENDS (G1 and G4) even though I generally play totally loyalist, and only take drayk canisters. :rolleyes:

Canisters in Geneforge is like any alcoholic drink in RL for me.
I see it, then I want to use/drink it.
If I can, I will...

Canisters are of course one of the best things in Geneforge, because no RPGer can resist an instant stat boost or new ability. The swirly green look and that sound effect become Pavlovian after a while. What's great is that this mimics nicely the addictive effect that the canisters are supposed to be having on your character. It's a cool gimmick.

I managed when playing the G3 again to play as shaper.I tried to not use canisters but couldent resist using 2 of them to learn to create gazer and dracon.Strange nobody noticed nor my skin glow.

Is it becouse I used only 2 canisters not a pile of them why nobody notices it and my skin doesen't glow?

Yes, you can use a few canisters with no serious effects. That proves they're completely harmless.

I don't think that rewrites your DNA/Your matter is safe full stop!
How ever, I think it is more beneficial over using Mind altering Drugs.

You can use about 6 canisters before anything bad happens, which is nice to know if you're a loyalist but you want something you can't get from a trainer. Like drayks! :D

Schrodinger's walkthrough says there is one in Maker’s End on Gull Island and another in Benerii-Eo Vat Core on the Isle of Spears. It also looks like Khyryk can train you in it as well.

After you kill the gazer jailer of Agatha and co., you will find rooms with a rothghroth canister and battle roar canister. And (I think) some more rogues. If you want to ever cast battle roar, use that canister because it's the only spell you can't get from a trainer.

Thanks, I got Khyryk to train me in shaping rotgroth and for the battle roar I am playing as a warrior so I'm not using spells at all.

Plus..I would go cold if I don't use a canister..

I used it when I joined rebells but now I'm loyal to shapers so using a lot of canisters is not an option.

My new G4 character will try a lethal combo of loyalism (result: better training) and canister obsession. To avoid a bad ending, he will also be a Trakovite. Power-gaming, much?

Canisters are so much better than training that always when I see a canister I regreat playing as loyalist.

When I use a canister I gain a feel of power and when I get training I don't feel like my power is increast.So its more pyshological thing to me not abou actual power.

Which makes the canister system perfect, because it's supposed to have a psychological effect. Just like SoT pointed out earlier.

Fools. Self-Shaping grants power without sacrifice, which is analogous to a five-year old that shoots fireballs. It corrupts the mind and eliminates the capability for rational thought, if done sufficiently. It engenders arrogance, anger, and contempt, disgust, and the need to conquer towards those who have not partaken of it. It is an abomination.

You sound like you are really ma...changed by canisters.

Sidefects are not such significant, if you don't use thousant of canisters and you don't need so much to become really powerfull.

You can always cheat so it the game thinks you've never used any. This will then give you the best of both worlds--great training from loyalists, and canister addiction with no ill effects.
