What about a creation color change option? It might be interesting to have a little more control in the creation of your creation. And while I'm at it, I'd like to see a few balancing issues that I'm starting to notice, sorted out... Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

The problem with controlling what your creations look like is that Shapers generally don't know how to do such trivial things. Shapers succeed through trial and error, and don't really have time to concern themselves with changing the color of a functional creation. -------------------- "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 can easily see young shapers giggling in the corners of the lab when their stern master finds his menacing battle alphas coming out of the vat with lime green splotches. And I'm sure those same apprentices eventually slip a little pyro in the roamers. —Alorael, who can see the now very upset stern master then requiring his giggling young proteges to clean up the mess. With their robes. Without a chance to wash those robes afterwards. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'm really hoping that the fighter class can learn some special abilities/techniques like charge or shield bash. Guardian was the most boring class in the previous GF games. It would also be nice if there were labs where you could improve spells and creations. Posts: 227 | Registered: Thursday, January 24 2002 08:00 |

I would like to see an interesting set of functions added to this game which come from another game called Evil Islands. In the game you can run, walk, sneak, and crawl. This increases the strategy of the game. It would make for interesting graphics and functionality. I know it sounds odd. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

An idea. I want to have a picture of toast somewhere in the game. Lets say an inn where you can buy different foodstuffs, toast, wine, milk for those nonalcoholic types, chicken apples, etc. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Chicken apples are flying apples, kind of like flying pineapples which can only be found deep in the desert of zounds... -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and right. But for all practical purposes, they're all right. —Alorael, who thinks the classes were already discussed. The real question, which still has not been answered, is which possible combination of skills isn't available. No, it's not really intuitive at all.

It's too late for GF4, but how about one that is bad at everything. Having high costs for fighting, magic, and shaping for those people who complain that the game is still too easy on torment. The slow curve for advancement would be a change. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Heh, kind of like the 'tourist' class in (what game was it? Angband? No, Nethack, definitely.). And for a graphic, just use the 'normal human' ones. Even with choices of race and sex. You would just be a normal dude, caught up in it all. But it's easy to play a handicapped character if you want to. Just don't use all your skill points. EDIT: Thanks to Thuryl for the immediately following information. I can ill afford to enrage either of these communities, for I bear an uncanny resemblance to an ASCII character.

Which character do you resemble? I sincerely hope that it's @. —Alorael, who now has urges to translate many things into Roguelike. His + is always ', Onward and <, that sort of thing. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'm afraid I can't afford to make it 256 times easier for my enemies. They are rough characters. [ Wednesday, September 20, 2006 10:41: Message edited by: Student of Trinity ] -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |
