Anyone actually found a use for these in the game? Not the living but the oldschool things just named "tools". Is there a use? In any of the Geneforge games? -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

I think they have enough value in Geneforge 3 to get you a few coins when sold to a shop, but beyond that no, no more useful than a pillow, or basket, or a spoon, or an unsellable trowel (for some reason some trowels can be sold for 1 coin, others 0), or simple trash for that matter. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

The phrase "unsellable trowel" makes me erupt in gales of laughter for no particularly sound reason. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Now you got me doing it. How about that becomes the new insult, replacing the too-controversial 'lagot'? "You unsellable trowel!" is pretty crushing. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

One would have to say that even being a sellable trowel is bad enough. Having seen the quality of some garden implements that have changed hands at local garage sales, being an unsellable one adds considerable insult to injury. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Sure is a more inventive insult than plain swears. -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days." Posts: 522 | Registered: Wednesday, May 4 2005 07:00 |

quote:If it is like earlier Geneforge games, at some point you'll be asked to deliver the item 'Shaper Tools' to someone in order to construct/build a special item. I try to keep one instance of each item in storage, because in earlier Vogel games, you sometimes have to deliver a mundane item to make someone happy. For instance, someone may want a board game and dice, or a towel, or a trowel ... etc. Posts: 2 | Registered: Monday, June 27 2005 07:00 |

No, you can save that slot for something else. The only thing the "tools" are good for is 5 lousy coins. No quests for 'em. Without giving away too much in the way of spoilers, I will say there are 2 quests for mundane items, and 3 spots to turn in unlimited items of a certain type. I think that's about it.

Hawk King is an unsellable trowel for hyphenating "un-sellable trowel". Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

While we are talking about quest items, is there a quiet for metal bars in this game, or should I stop carrying them around and sell them to the first merchant I meet? -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

Reminds me of E3's book with the 'returning missile' ability. Useless since you can't equip it as a weapon, but apparently meant for "throwing the book" at people! Posts: 20 | Registered: Thursday, May 26 2005 07:00 |

Obviously not, since there was no way to use it as a weapon. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Was it entitled something special or just "rope"? -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days." Posts: 522 | Registered: Wednesday, May 4 2005 07:00 |

There was also Trash with +2 Strength.

It was a rope (non equipable item weighing 3 pounds worth 1 coin), I'm not sure but I think it was in the tower of the magi. Noticed it cause it had a [+] in the game. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

I remember that.

I'm doing a strictly moral playthrough this time and steal trowels, both sellable and unsellable, only from the bad side. This way they starve as they have no way to weed their gardens. Conversly, I dump the extra unsellable ones where they may do the most good. And I never steal them from the good guys. -------------------- “Where did this apple come from?” --Alan Turing Posts: 49 | Registered: Wednesday, August 13 2003 07:00 |

That moral thing of aswell's sounds a bit like a friend of mine (the one who introduced me to Exile all those years ago - cheers!). She would always carry cursed items to a hostile dungeon before dropping them, so as not to harm the friendly locals. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.
