I don't know about 'by far'. I think G2 and G3 work well as logical developments. But G1 was definitely a bit better. Everything kind of worked, and the only loose end that was there for me was that there was no indication of just how the PC was growing in power so quickly. That got taken for granted as part of CRPG convention, when in fact the Geneforge-y theme of the game offered a great opportunity to make it an important working part of the story. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

I know a few people that loved G1, but refused to buy 2 (and I guess 3) because they felt nothing was substantually new (including plot). -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

I think G1 has the best plot out of the first three Geneforges. It felt a little more believable than the others, and the ancient civilization subplot was interesting. And the plot gets a boost just for being the first of the series and therefore more original. Hopefully, G4's plot will also get that originality boost because it is the first in the series to have the perspective be from the rebel's side. Dikiyoba.

quote:Same here, I played through G1 dozens of times before getting a little bored, and I've played only 1 or two times through the other twos. Ok, G3 wasn't really bad either, but I didn't like really much G2. Also, one thing who made my vote go to G1, well, it is in that one and only one where [spoilers... I guess] . . . . . [you've been warned!] . . there are the Sholai (they're so cool!) and you can actually use the Geneforge.

If you are implying that in GF4 you can use the Geneforge does that mean you don't have trouble with the lighting in the rest of the game? Although using it makes the game simpler since now both sides are annoyingly inferior. The third path is then I'm a God and will decide what is right for all of you.

At least one thing that you have asked or stated is true. —Alorael, who really likes this game very much. He should have played it years ago. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I preferred GF1 storyline, but GF3 has a better spell and combat system to make up for the worse plot. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Geneforge III has by far the worst plot of all the Geneforge series. Geneforge I is the greatest plot in the Geneforge series. You probably just don't like it because the other games have more gameplay improvements. I personally love the moral questions. Geneforge II had a redeemed plot because of Shanti. She's one of my favorite characters in the entire series. -------------------- Pass the sauerkraut and chips please. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

She should have been executed in front of you or, if you joined another sect, you should have been able to kill her. -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "The mind, if it exists, is nothing but an unfortunate after effect of the brain process." -Kripke "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

Geneforge 2 clearly has the superior plot. The first one was the cliché abandoned forbidden experiments plot, lame. The only good thing about it was that since it was the first in the series, all the shaping concepts were new. Geneforge 2 had the greatest character the in the series yet: Barzahl! This was truly a great man. He realized the potential of shaping powers, used them to change even the geography of the land. Sure he was insane, but that's what made it the best plot in the series. Shanti? She was just another mindless pawn of the Shapers, not even worthy of mention. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

So, do you always use the Geneforge in G1 then? Shanti is one of Dikiyoba's favorite characters as well. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I prefer Sharon to Shanti, if only for the reclusiveness. And GF2 is probably my favourite, although I replay GF1 the most, so I'm leaning towards that being the best. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

quote:Naturally. I don't understand why anyone would not. That's really the only thing Geneforge 2 and 3 are sorely missing. Please tell me, what is so alluring about Shanti? She is just as arrogant as any other shaper, yet she fears the full potential of shaping powers. If you guys like the mysterious reclusive type characters so much, Phariton would be by far the best. Another point for Geneforge 2. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

There was a certain sence of strength in her, and she was your mentor.

Originally by Emperor Tullegolar: quote:Not everyone is interested in playing a power-hungry maniac, obviously. Dikiyoba likes Shanti because she actually goes out and does some stuff in the game (or tries to, at least) instead of hanging back. And she is a good example of a loyal Shaper.

This has nothing to do with letting your enemies live. To strive to become as powerful and lethal as powerful is also to make the game as easy as possible at each necessary point. Choosing not to use the Geneforge does not in any prevent you from killing everything either in these games, and I mean everything. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.
