The thought of GIFTS in Geneforge is just as awful as Shapers in Avernum. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

In Avernum 5, all of the GIFTS need to die a horrible death. That way nothing like like this will pop up again. It could even be a Quest. EDIT: Though that would probably set them down the "Lets Bring Back The GIFTS" path.

I want a cannister of Raid to get rid of the Giant Intelligent Talking Roaches. Especially the ones that think I'm cute. A servile as a starting character would normally be a warrior (guardian), but there were some implications that serviles could use cannisters under certain circumstances. So it might be possible for them to acquire spells (agent) and maybe some shaper powers by maybe using existing equipment. After all the Takers in Geneforge 1 were using the vats to get creations.

The GIFTS won't be very happy with you considering that the GIFTR are their friends. -------------------- I hate you all Posts: 165 | Registered: Friday, October 28 2005 07:00 |

"A servile as a starting character" Reading this again brought this to mind. (This image is not against being a servile in geneforge 4 it was just what came to my mind.) -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.

As long as we're so pathetically off topic: I have always hated the way the serviles looked, with their big, pointy noses. A little too inhuman for me, you know? Who agrees? I think they should look more childish, and live up to their name. And now for one of my characteristic sketches: Didn't turn out how I expected. Tried to make a fat, sad looking creature. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

There have only been a FEW notes by Jeff himself. Fortunately, he (in my opinion, correctly) predicted that more people would read further comments if he made a new thread, which he did. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

You could have been: quote:I'm not the one who proposed the scenario. However, siding with the Rebellion doesn't seem like a fantastic option if you want to be 'free'. Power crazed drakons, and canister abusing humans, who have a habit of oppressing the ordinary serviles/drayks/humans, and sending them out as cannon fodder. In fact, the Drakons and rogue Shapers remind me of the pigs from Animal Farm. Not much of a better alternative than the humans. -------------------- VIVE LA TAKERS! VIVE LA REBELLION!

Wouldn't that be a fantastic G4 Easter egg? An isolated farmyard area populated with talking, spell-casting Ornks, with appropriate names. Ornks have always looked more porcine than bovine to me. Plus it's the perfect place for the mandatory Create Ornk canister. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

As long as we're talking about Animal Farm, can we have Ornk playing cards and gambling with humans at the end? -------------------- One of these words is mispelled. Posts: 284 | Registered: Tuesday, January 31 2006 08:00 |

That would be a nice little Easter Egg area... The 4 Create Ornk canisters you need to create the Gornk(God of Ornks) would each be guarded in caverns by the Tornk(Terror Ornk), the Wornk(War Ornk), and the Pornk(Plague Ornk). After you killed one of these ornks, in you acquire a Ornk Key. After collecting all three, you would be able to access the small building in the center of the map, where you would face off against Napolean, the Big Pork, his 9 trained Huge Roamers, several Humans(armed with Shaped Lances and Aura of Flames), and Shapers(I'm sure you don't need an explanation as to what they could do). After you beat them, you would get the 4th Create Ornk canister, and the choice between 5 "Ornk Items". Either: the Ornkbone Claymore, the Ornkskin Slippers, the Ornkmeat Charm, the All-Ornk Protecter, and the Ornksteel Gauntlets. Table of Ornk Items: Ornkbone Claymore- (60-200 damage), +2 to all Primary Stats Ornkskin Slippers- +80% Armor, +4 to Dextirity, Parry, and QA Ornkmeat Charm- +2 to EVERY stat All-Ornk Protecter- +100% Armor, +4 to Endurance and Str. Ornksteel Gauntlets- +75% Armor, +5 to Lead., Mech. and Magic Skills Table of Boss Ornks: Tornk: Can cast all spells and inflicts Terror in melee. Wornk: Can cast Strong Daze. Has 12 AP. 100-300 damage Pornk: Inflicts every kind of status ailment every turn. Napolean: Has combined powers of all the other Boss Ornks NOTE: Within this area, you can find a cavern with the rebel creations. They are led by Snowball, Ornk of the People.They are very willing to help you if you treat them nice... NOTE2: A side quest is to rescue the Battle Alpha named Boxer from death at the Armor Factory. NOTE3: You can go buy some very nice Spells, Canisters, Armor, and Weapons from the Drakon youth Moses Blaze. They even say, for the right price, he'll tell you some very interesting information... NOTE4: I have way to much time on my hands. EDIT: The Ornk "tree" would look something like this: 1- Ornk-Same thing as the last 3 games. 2- Battle Ornk-A blue Ornk with 10 AP and increased stats 3- Ur-Ornk- A insanely powerful red Ornk. 4- Gornk (God of Ornks)-Can kill a Drakon in 2 hits. Gold colored. [ Thursday, May 04, 2006 20:13: Message edited by: Mr.Bookworm ] -------------------- Polaris Posts: 193 | Registered: Thursday, April 6 2006 07:00 |

quote:I had a horrible vision that shapers did exist in Avernum. Take a look at the names: drake - drayk dragon - drakon gazer - gazer eyebeast - eyebeast vahnatai shaper - shaper Are those slight variations the corruption of language over time? Are the vahnatai the carnister-twisted, super-mutated, crystallinised remnants of humans from the archaic shaper civillisation in which we are some young apprentices?

"Are those slight variations the corruption of language over time? Are the vahnatai the carnister-twisted, super-mutated, crystallinised remnants of humans from the archaic shaper civillisation in which we are some young apprentices?" Many people have thought of this before. (look at the Avenum 4 forum) Personaly I think they did not want to take canisters so they developed some sort of christal thing that would change them. (It might be wearing off with time, the A4 vahnatai seemed to be gaining weight.) "drake - drayk dragon - drakon gazer - gazer eyebeast - eyebeast vahnatai shaper - shaper" Yes, this is true (probably because the same person made them up)but, look there are others out there. -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.

Long before A4 came out I proposed "Vahnatai Creationism Theory With A Twist" in General, I don't feel like looking for it though. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! Deep down, you wish you were a stick figure. Posts: 1629 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

There really needs to be some kind of equivalent to the... Hold on, this deserves its own topic. EDIT: Be enlightened.

Fun... I find it hard to wait. Too bad there's still so much time to wait for it... :) Especially since I'm a PC user. For both nostalgy and discussion purposes, here's a (very very long) mail I sent SpiderWeb about a year ago: quote: Posts: 1 | Registered: Saturday, October 7 2006 07:00 |
