Dikiyoba would like batons a lot more if they automatically reloaded.

Oh, wow. I'm never playing a Yu-gi-oh game after kicking tail on a Geneforge game.

Ain't gonna happen in Geneforge OR real life: Geneforge TCG!!!

I concur. Batons are somewhat obsolete. The thorns are too few and far between; perhaps you should be able to load any thorn into any type of baton? And batons can be distinguished by strength (as opposed to thorn type)?

- Flying creations. Vlish and their variants can hover, but I am not satisfied. Despite the difficulty of implementing turn-based flight, Nick demands it in GF4.
- "An upgraded form of an ornk, like a Cryoa is a Fyora's upgraded form." So Fyora is to Cryoa as Ornk is to ... Fyornk? Drayk, Drakon; Ornk, Ornkon. Ur-Ornk. Urnk. Ornkbeast. Submission Ornk. Tusked Ornk. Meaty Ornk. Tasty Ornk ... Delicious Vlish.
- Sex. Not the verb, but the collective noun, and my choice to use it incorrectly, drawing attention. What about male Agents or female Guardians? There are NPC's that have appearances that reflect their gender ... I mean, who here has seen Samus Aran, from the Metroid series? Despite traditionalists who think Samus is a guy, she takes off her suit--as a Guardian should be able to--to reveal a set of, er, "bodacious tatas." Can't this affect gameplay? I wanted to seduce Diwaniya but still beat him up.
- Shifty NPC's. I think I caught Lady Anjali smoking out of some "Shaper Equipment." Afterwards, she sold me a blunt for 150 coins. Lord Rahul sent me to Chadwick Prison. Damn it all.
- Huestess. And (s?)he pissed me off. The BIG SECRET in Spirits' City was kind of a letdown for me, honestly.

You cannot win. The final bosses imprison you in a dugeon that takes an hour to go through (to make sure that you saved inside) and there is no escape.

You play as a servile in a shaper world.
As the servile you would constantly have to fetch things for people (wait...).

You are told of a merchant that makes the best weapons in the world, but when you go see him, he becomes so frightened he has a heart attack and dies.

That's hilarious. Whoever voted your karma down to one star needs a kick in the nutbasket.

Still, I only save about once per two hours of play. I use quicksave otherwise. So nyaa, I'd get back out.

In related news, it has always bothered me that, assuming Geneforge takes place in our universe, the Law of Conservation of Matter is broken each time you Shape a new Creation. But Einstein's Relativity Theory does state that matter is energy. Therefore the Shaping process must consist of some fission in which energy (Essence from the Shaper's body) is transformed into matter, and the Absorbtion process must consist of fusion, in which mass is transformed back into energy. This is all well and good in theory, but keep in mind that fusion produces such rich energy that (according to Einstein) a two-pound brick, if spontaneously transformed into pure energy, would destroy our planet. So can it be that the Shapers are that powerful? Maybe Creations are weighed in amu ... or maybe I'm just not giving Jeff a chance.

Hooray.

I've always just assumed that shaping involves taking the component sub-atomic particles from the atmosphere and the surroundings and such, and forming them into creatures. Of course, doing this would be so unimaginably complicated that figuring out how to make a Fyora would take an immortal shaper and a considerably more generous 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, but hey, this is magic, right?

Remember, the relation between energy and mass depends on the speed of light. Maybe the speed of light in the Geneforge universe is just really, really slow, so a given amount of mass has less energy in it.

(Okay, so a physicist could almost certainly explain why a major change in the speed of light would have catastrophic consequences for the universe. So don't think too hard about it.)

Thralni, don't forget how old this thread is. Tesability Black isn't even around anymore.

Oh well. Often I forget to look at the number of pages of a topic and its posting date. In that case I answer to a long answered question, or, like now, make a worthless comment.

Still, that really was a truly arrogant remark. I guess he is very insecure.

Arrogant? What? That was random.

In other news, I think we're done here.
