The1Kobra Warrior Member # 5363	written Thursday, December 14 2006 10:21 Profile Homepage #0 Hmm... if I remember correctly from GF1, the serviles on sucia island said that the canisters there kill them instantly. I know you can play a servile in GF4, but im just curious, can a servile use canisters? -------------------- Learn from others mistakes. Its safer and more entertaining than learning on your own.

Use magic, shape, and, apparently, use canisters. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Thursday, December 14 2006 18:38 Profile #5 Jeff remembers less about what happens in his games than we do. In order to use canisters in GF4 you have to be a player since Tyrol got to use canisters before reaching the Geneforge. Posts: 4643 \| Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Thursday, December 14 2006 18:41 Profile Homepage #6 It might also have been because the canisters on Sucia Isle were sitting there for 150 years. So it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they became a little volatile over the years. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Thursday, December 14 2006 20:45 Profile Homepage #7 This is really not a continuity problem. The seviles on Sucia could not use the canisters on Sucia. The serviles in G4 are not from Sucia. While it's unlikely they were modified recently, in the course of two centuries the standard servile model might well have changed. And it's EXTREMELY likely that the new canisters produced by the Rebels are not the same as the ones lying around on Sucia for two centuries, especially given that the Rebels grew out of the Takers, who had servile leaders. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

While this may be true, as we have been able to explain a lot of stuff with the Avernum timeline, often the best explanatioin is the simplist. I'm not saying that what has been said is wrong, but it is inherently speculative either way. Call me cynical, but I just don't expect perfect continuity in Jeff's games. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, December 14 2006 21:44 Profile Homepage #10 You're being cynical. I don't think that Jeff was being careless here, I think he just assumed we could figure some things out on our own. It's not like this involves contradicting dates or something like that. Why can serviles use canister now? New technology. I'll take the 'a wizard did it' explanation over the 'writer screwed it up' explanation any day. -------------------- You lose.
