Experiences from beta-testing the three of them:

GF1 started out okay, but I really wanted to find out what went on with the Sholai, the spirits, and the Geneforge.

GF2 started out great. I even called it the best spidweb game since BoE. But as it went on, it got slower and slower, and I didn't want to replay it to see the other endings - I just wanted to kill Barzahl and the Takers and Awakened. But I still managed to slug through them.

GF3 started out fine, somewhere between the other two. But at Gull Island, it just sunk like a stone. Things were barely explained, high-leveled monsters and tons of serviles were thrown at us, and we were expected to get through it all to see the Geneforge and mighty Drakons. I could barely finish GF3 once, let alone a second time. And yet, I could easily bring four or five parties up to the end of Dhonal Isle.

one thing though (as you yourself already said):
"I cannot speak (although say is better) the words, because I don't them."
I indeed meant "haec." Sorry for that.

My Latin sentence actually says my main struggle in the proverb.

My final point about this matter: I don't know the words and don't have acces to a good dictionary. i suppose you are right though, about living in different countries (what you say in the quote above).

It seems that people other than Thralni have had problems with the name of this game. Not sure how it happened, but the walkthrough's URL is http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/geneforce_3.txt

So there! :P

Gamefaqs chooses the name of the file I update, which is the source of much annoyance.

Oh well, at least they got the name everywhere else correct.

Once I just read to quickly ant thought it was geneforce, and not geneforge. This probably happened to may people. I'm finally starting to understand that geneforge is some kind of monster or folk? By th way, I earlier sai I will probably try Geneforge 1. I tried it, but after the third level, were all these serviles walk around, I always get killed. Now I managed to get into that school or something to the north. But I don't manage to go past the wood. Even if I pay the toll, i get killed. going to th east from Vakiri I'm constanly slain by those big things which I don't know the name of.

Two options. The first is to delete the program and go back to designing BoA scenarios, the second is to read the walkthrough (link is posted in the Geneforge 1 forum) and get some idea on character development. It does take some getting used to, which is why I offer option 1.

I don't see option 1 as a good solution. If I do that, I wouldn't get any further in the game, would I. How would it help me? Don't I have to just get stronger? Geneforge 3 works alright, so i do start to learn the game. I just avoid things I still con't cope with. In geneforge 1, the serviles in that forest that keep killing me, should they that, even when I pay the toll? that looks quite strange to me...

* this signature is a signature - it doesn't contain anything useful, but that its written here, is because of sarcasme *

Going too far east is not a good idea early on in GF1, as the Taker Serviles will attack you.. I don't know why those Serviles are attacking you after you pay the toll, but I've always just attacked them. Try going to other nearby areas until you have gained a couple levels, and try the bandit Serviles again later.

Since you have been playing GF3 you are likely getting some feel for the game, right? If one area is too hard, try a different one and come back later. If you can't get past the Serviles just use exitzone to get you to a safe place.

If you trespass in or near the bandit serviles' homes, they'll attack you even if you paid their toll.

Bandit Serviles are easy. First use leadership onthem for XP, then complete the quest to get them to stop attacking the village, then kill them all.

Mwahahaha.

If you want to get by the bandits without fighting them go around the woods to the west and you should only have to fight some quite weaker rogues.

I kill everything I come by. Need the XP to level up.
