AuthorTopic: Going Rogue?

It seemed like there was a fair chance of creations going Rogue or running away in terror in G1. It happened pretty often if the health got low enough.
In G2 the scale of rogue/terror tipped in the favor of terror, but I still recall creations going rogue on me.

In G3? Never. Not even on torment have I ever seen a creation go rogue, no matter the health or how low Intelligence I buy for my creations (I never get more than 2 anyway).

Has this rather intresting element in the game been wiped away completly, or is it just so that it is extremely rare/ only happens to creations that has less than Int 2 bought for them?

Odd, I beat Geneforge 1 without ever having a creation go rogue (though they ran away often enough). And I always only bought 2 intelligence.

I have not seen creations go rogue in GF3, but I typically make them with two points of intelligence. The few I have left at zero intelligence did not go rogue either, so perhaps that feature was removed.

Creations can go rogue in G3.

There are some critters now that can Dominate.

It happens.

I was under the impression that only creations with less than 2 Int went rogue in all three games. None of my creations ever went rogue, and I rarely bought more than 2 Int for any of them.

When I was playing as a guardian, a Fyora with no Intelligence did go rogue.

No, creatures with and over Int of 2 can go Rogue, this I got positive knowledge of from G2.
As for other creatures dominating, well that is beyond the actuall point of this topic.
But going Rogue in G3 seems to be very rare, something that is rather sad since it added another level of gameplay back in G1.

I've only once had a creation go rogue, and that was one that had no intelligence that I was repeatedly hitting and healing to see if it went rogue.

Are you sure that Alwan and Greta went rogue (attacking you) rather than being paralysed with fear or fleeing in terror?

I don't think Greta and Alwan can go "Rogue". They are not creations, per se.

They have been bought 2 int when they first come. Thats why you can control them at the beginning.

Well, going rogue isn't such a big deal.
You can heal it with cure effects.

::Laughs:: You can heal Rouge by "Cure"?
Would that not mean that you should, technically, be able to convert any creation you come across with Cure?

Why the hell laugh?
Do you think I'm a blond woman?

Well, in g1 going rogue was incurable.
You have either to kill it or load.
In g2, there was a place my creation going rogue very often.
So I tried everything, and found this spell worked.
Remove Effects (Essence: 6, Spell Energy: 60, Min. Skill: 5) – Purges the target of all
negative effects, including mental ones. The higher the spell strength, the more afflictions
are removed.

It also worked in g3.
Sorry about the wrong magic name in the last post.

This statement is completely opaque to me.

I'm tempted to lock this topic, but I can't come up with any specific reason why.

This tread may help you understand what I mean of blond woman.

So you're playing on stereotypes. I was assuming that was beneath you, but apparently not.

That blond woman was playing stereotypes.
I was playing mimicries.

I find your holier than thou attitude more offensive. Stereotypes aren't something so heinous - they're extrodinarily pervasive in popular cultre and compter games especially roleplaying ones

Burglaries are common too. That doesn't make them a good thing.

Well, I was a little angry about that woman who blame the stereotype for her stupidity.
So I mimiced her as a sort of irony.

Myself is a black man.

So not only is this topic no longer about Going Rogue, but about pointless prejudice and stereotypes?

O-key.

Threads have a habit of doing that. I'm not sure there's that much more on-topic material to be discussed for this particular topic, anyway.

So you're saying no form of entertainment media should use stereotypes? I'd like to hear you defend that :rolleyes:
