What do I want? More realistic weights for items: Like 0.9 Kilograms and so on. (The use of the metric system would be cool as well) A character Editor wouldn't hurt too, but puting some restrictions on editing your character would be a good idea so that they don't become to powerful. -- Diarog Lethuta Posts: 91 | Registered: Thursday, June 16 2005 07:00 |

I liked the weight system, but using the metric system would be really hard for jeff to do, a character editor would be nice but I've never thought of a character editor once when playing either of the 3 games, so there isn't much use, having a locker in which you store stuff is kewl thats an aewsome idea, something I just thought up now is why not have a "movie" but in geneforge fight sequence of shapers versus rebels or something, or a buch of humans got mad and challenged a shaper and his creations etc. -------------------- I like swords! -Fighter Posts: 20 | Registered: Sunday, July 3 2005 07:00 |

How would it be difficult? All he would need to do is apply the constant value which converts from lbs to kilograms. Now if he decided that it wouldn't have the same acceleration of gravity as earth does, a bit more work would be necessary. It's still simple though... -------------------- Lt.

Yeah, I think that the weight system should be done away with, or modified to be a armor restriction thing or something - it's just more of a pain than its worth. I mean, why would anyone carry their backpack full of junk during a fight?? Also, there needs to be a weapon switch button :P Posts: 51 | Registered: Friday, October 31 2003 08:00 |

Here goes some thoughts on equipment. 1) There is no agent weapon. A spell sword would be neat -- increases spellcraft +1 and battle magic +1 but does very little damage 2-20. Blade of defense +1 blessing magic +2 parry. 2) Our companions should have the ability to buy defense as well as offense. Alwan would have been better if we could have bought him a breastplate. 3) A shaped pack mule creature would be cool. If it dies all the items would be dropped on the ground. It would have no attack ability. Basically an armored critter. Occasionally as its level of strength and intelligence increased it could carry more and would randomly cast heal or defense spells. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

What should be done is make it so that when you learn a creation at higher levels, besides the third level enabling the advanced type and +1 level at creation per level, it should give you the option to spend extra essence to give it a special ability, with a new type at each level, here are some examples: fyora level 2: add extra fire damage to mellee attack fyora level 3: deal small amount of fire damage to mellee attackers fyora level 4: can hit 2 enemies at once with ranged attack cryora level 2: adds slow effect to ranged attack thahd level 2: increase chance of stunning thahd level 3: adds a few points of parry thahd level 4: adds 1 extra ap thahd shade level 4: adds curse effect to those who attack and miss. artilla level 2: adds acid damage to melle attack artilla level 3: immunity to acid artilla level 4: can hit multiple targets with ranged attack searing artilla level 4: increased amount of acid levels caused on hit roamer level 2: increased mellee damage roamer level 3: +1 ap roamer level 4: increased acid levels from ranged attack pyroroamer level 4: explosion causes stun effect clawbug level 2: increased stun chance clawbug level 3: increased poison levels from attack clawbug level 4: immunity to stunning plated clawbug level 4: adds several points of armor vlish level 2: adds curse effect to ranged attack vlish level 3: increased chance of status effects from attacks vlish level 4: can hit multiple foes with ranged attack terror vlish level 4: adds small chance to charm with ranged attack drayk level 2: high resistance to mental effects drayk level 3: adds a few points of armor drayk level 4: can hit multiple targets with ranged attack cryodrayk level 4: adds slow effect to ranged attack battle alpha level 2: adds several points of armor battle alpha level 3: adds a few points of quick action battle alpha level 4: adds +1 ap battle beta level 4: adds several points of parry glaak level 2: mellee attacks cause poison glaak level 3: adds poison immunity glaak level 4: increased stun effect ur-glaak level 4: adds several points of armor drakon level 2: mental effect immunity drakon level 3: increased targets for ranged attack drakon level 4: increased armor ur-drakon level 4: small chance of causing terror in nearby foes each round rotgroth level 2: adds constant hp regen effect rotgroth level 3: increased parry rotgroth level 4: increased quick action rotdhizon level 4: greatly increased parry gazer level 2: adds stun effect to ranged attack gazer level 3: chance to charm with mellee attack gazer level 4: increased armor eyebeast level 4: greatly increased energy regeneration -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

Another good post with idéas about how the game can be improved. Just one thing; Gazers are allready powerful as it is, no need to give them higher stats. -------------------- "..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."

quote:No they dont. The whole point of a weapon switch is so that you save keystrokes/mouse movements. The way its set up, it takes MORE effort to drop a weapon in the quickslot, and then press the quick-key, since you have to do it everytime. Posts: 51 | Registered: Friday, October 31 2003 08:00 |

How would you propose a weapon-switch button to work then? Would the game just decide to use whichever weapon in your inventory you wanted when you hit the button? You'd have to set up the weapons you want to switch between beforehand anyway, right? Then, you'd still have to use a hotkey or click a button to make the switch.... so what's the difference? You put a weapon in the quickslot and then click that button or use that key and your weapon changes. Click again, and your weapon changes back. Click a different slot for a 3rd weapon.... why is this so difficult? Posts: 107 | Registered: Tuesday, April 19 2005 07:00 |

I would like to see a few sneak type quests. Sneak in and steal x item for me without alerting the guards and I will give you x. I was able to sneak into the guarded rebel camp area and steal everything by running from door to door with my character hasted. I got both the swamp maps and the wooden ring doing this. I was also able to slip into Lord Rahul's chambers and side chamber and steal all of his items. Another cool quest would be an area where the initial goal is not to kill everything in the area but get past the guards, killing only the sentries if possible. Wipe out the patrols only. Basically time your characters party to run past guard checkpoints until you finish the area-- either to deliver a message or bring some necessary component to clear an area. You get a much better reward for doing this than if you just went in and killed everything. An idea would be to deliver an item like a piece to fix a summoning platform, etc. [ Tuesday, July 12, 2005 10:41: Message edited by: I'll Steal Your Toast ] -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Please Jeff include a decent Character Editor. I remember the old games included one which was very user friendly and came with the game. That would save us the "mess" caused by *.txt scripts that do not always work and make our games to display errors. Thanks.

Here goes. I would like to see more outsiders developed into the next game. It is clear that if they survive-- at least the more powerful ones in Geneforge 3, they will be pretty angry. I can imagine some outsiders seeking some kind of revenge on both the shapers and drakons. I can imagine a few different things which could be added to the game-- new spells and units. Two types of magics which were not fully developed in Geneforge 3 were rune magic and chanting and meditation(this is how serviles get their power) also spellsinging magic. Three new outsider units which would be interesting would be runed warrior, chanting mage-- access to battle roar, and spell singer-- access to mass madness. Another thing which is not fully developed is the conflict between magic and shaping. This could be developed further. It would be interesting to get a bit of history on how the shapers gained control over regular magic. I can also see them losing control over the outsiders mages-- this would happen when they started to learn to enhance their mage skills using the meditative and chanting skills of the serviles cultists. It would make outsider mages much more powerful because they do not have limitations built into them like serviles. It might be possible to get some really cool powers in the next game if your character uses the techniques of the servile cultists. (strictly forbidden of course).
