Let's BS about where the next Geneforge game will be. Looking at the first four games' trend, you move to more and more important regions with each game. You go from a barred island to a dead colony to a populous island colony to a considerable chunk of the main continent. I'd say the final game will be located in the heart of shaper territory, and you may even get to face the shaper council itself. Posts: 37 | Registered: Tuesday, March 27 2007 07:00 |

I could see that, especially if the rebel ending is used. The shapers would be desperate to stop this new threat. I'm hoping we get to see more of drakon culture as well. Maybe some towns with drakons doing normal stuff. Posts: 701 | Registered: Thursday, November 30 2006 08:00 |

Or... You find out one of the original Shapers from the island isn't dead, but is alive and well and manipulating the Shaper Council to weaken their position, at the same time controlling the rebelion to satisfy their whims. You also find out that he or she is working as an ally for the true superiour life forms, the Vlish. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

But where is the heart.

I've been watching conversation over A4 for a while, and I have a very interesting question: Why is it sometimes called Averforge or Genevernum, and why does everyone virtually gasp when that comes up? -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.

It's called by such names because it was a blend of the Geneforge and Avernum engines. Why everybody gasps... I have no idea. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Before our time, then. Anyways, back to topic. My theory is that since we have the Turabi Gate and that outpost in Northwestern Terrestia which gets soldiers from those sealed doors, the next Geneforge would logically be in Western Terrestia. -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.

Mostly because there were so many noobish cries of "i bet the shapers evolved into those vatnahtnai things and the drakons into dragons and the clawbugs into chitraches after the shalli invaded and became the empire!!!" that everyone became disgusted with the idea. As for another reason to hate the term Genevernum, Dikiyoba believes you should ask Delicious Vlish. You know, to get the entire horrifying effect.

 I'm banking on "Other Continent." What better way to end the series than a final epic battle in the halls of the Shaper Council? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

The Western Sea doesn't have to be impassable for a flat world. More likely it's large like the Pacific Ocean without enough islands or a continental region along the north that ships could follow. Given a long enough distance with nothing to see, most explorers will give up due to lack of supplies, Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Sucia island seems to be quite larger than what I imagined...I think that it's obvious that G5 will be about western terrestia, but, that may change. After all I always thoght that A4 would be about the new surface Avernum, but instead we got what all of us know... Posts: 446 | Registered: Friday, July 22 2005 07:00 |

Sucia only looks large because there aren't any other islands that we know about. There doutlessly are other islands, but we have no idea where they are. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

I would like if it was Suicia island. Maybe not whole game but last battles, you know, to end everything there where it began. Posts: 13 | Registered: Wednesday, January 24 2007 08:00 |

I think it's reasonable to assume that the game will be set in either Western Terrestia (if the stalemate ending is selected), or the 'Other' continent (if the Rebels manage to overwhelm the Shapers in Terrestia') I also wouldn't be surprised if the Sholai played a major part in GF5. If there is indeed a stalemate between the Shapers and their former slaves, there will most likely need to be an external factor to tip the balance. That external factor may just be the Sholai. To be honest, if I was a Sholai, I wouldn't feel too comfortable about the Shaper Empire, even though they are across the sea. It's been constantly observed (even by the visiting Sholai diplomat in GF3), than the Shapers must control everything. It's inevitable that one day, if the Shapers regain control of their two land continents, they will begin planning for the assimilation of Sholai lands. Spiff quote:Why do you need to travel to the Western continent to face the Shaper Council? I'm quite sure that there is a Shaper Council on Terrestia. From memory, you meet them on Terrestia after finishing every game. [ Thursday, April 05, 2007 22:44: Message edited by: Suspicious Vlish ] -------------------- VIVE LA TAKERS! VIVE LA REBELLION!

I'm pretty sure Jeff said the Sholai won't be appearing again in the GF series. This is because they would distract from the central, shapers vs rebels, to create or not to create, story. Edit: Link.

quote:The game does say that Terrestia is the less settled of the two continents, so it makes sense that the Shaper Council would be on the other one. The triad that you meet on Terrestia at the end of Geneforge 3 is not the council. Geneforge 2 says that you travel for many weeks to get to the capital. Since it doesn't mention a boat, perhaps the two continents are linked and not seperate islands like I made them in the map. I don't have a good Geneforge 1 save file, anyone care to refresh me in on the details of that ending?

From Dillame, you take a boat to get to the Shaper council. That's all there is. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

There you have it then. I think it is fairly safe to say that the Council does not live on Terrestia. Visiting somewhere new would be nice, but I actually really like it when you visit the same places in game sequels, that's one thing I really liked about the Avernum series. So really, there is nowhere that Geneforge 5 could take place that would disapoint me. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |
