Plus, the Unbound haven't even touched the other Shaper continent. Besides, you assume that the PC chose the Rebel ending. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

quote:Believe it or not, Avernum is fairly one dimensional. There's the good guys, and the bay guys. Geneforge is multi-dimensional, with none of the sides being perfect, or holding the moral highground. This leads to (hopefully) thoughtful debate about what side ultimately is best. What's more, Geneforge mirrors many political issues of the day. You couldn't get that in Avernum. A1: The Evil Empire throws you in a pit. A2: The Evil Empire invades your homeland. A3: The Evil Vahnatai get all genocidal. A4: The Evil Vahnatai get all genocidal. There is no debate in this at all. -------------------- "I'm happy I'm the mentally disturbed person I am." -Nioca Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

Avernum 5 does give you two sides for a change. Support the old evil Empire (Darkside Loyalists) or the new more enlighten evil Empire (Empress Prazac). Either way you get to kick around worms in "self defense." Avernum 6 - your a peasant conscipted into the war, now pick a side. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The Awakened, or something along the lines of that. This going to be the final installment, the serviles have to get a happy ending. Somehow the Sholoai will play into it, they're due to come back.

quote:It could happen. We saw in GF2 that there's a reform faction within the Shapers, who want to end many of the abuses. And we saw in GF3 that the humans in the Rebellion take a much more moderate stance than the drakons. So it's possible that the player's job from either side would be to try to forge a compromise, fight extremists on both sides, and end the mahem. Of course, knowing Jeff, there are bound to be other endings as well. Heck, remember how it was possible in GF1 to simply leave the island with everything unresolved? (Which, by the way, is what I thought happened in the official plot--not an Obeyer victory. But I haven't played GF2 recently, so I'm not sure--can someone confirm?) I bet there'll be a bunch of unpleasant endings where one side crushes the other with a "you'll always wonder whether you could have done better" hint, and a (relatively) happy compromise ending hidden somewhere.

I think that the shapers are going to win. All they have to is get to the Unbound shaping vats and destroy them and the Unbound production would cease. Then the shapers would win and democracy would rule. But i personally think the ending should have 3 endings. 1: you join shapers and destroy the rebels once and for all. 2: you join rebels and keep pushing the shapers back.3: you use many many canisters and become ruthless. you destroy shaper council and destroy all rebels and everyone who stands in your way. and you rule everyone with and iron fist.

I hate the shapers, killing drayks for no reason other than the fact that if they misused them they would bite back, bastards, when i see one i kill one, and hopefully in G5 they will have better council members than that pitiful Movawad, 202 health, me no think so! Shapers are evil, cruel and immoral, kinda like modern hippos. -------------------- Vivan los Drayks! Viva Khyryk! Vivan los Serviles! Vivan los Travokites!

The Rebels should win Geneforge 4 so that by Geneforge 5 everyone can see how horrible life under their rule would be. I could have sworn I posted in this topic before but maybe I'm thinking of an identical one. Anyway, with a miserable Rebel victory in Geneforge 4, the stage would be set for the possible return of old factions as well as the introduction of new ones. Lots of choices, the way Geneforge was meant to be! As for who should win in Geneforge 5... I've been saying for a while now how great a 'yourself' faction would be. You'd basically gather a bunch of research as well as components by defeating other factions and then build your very own geneforge. Then your ending would basically be you winning, with modifications based on whatever moral decisions you made in game. The perfect ending, in my opinion. The game is called Geneforge after all, yet the actual device's presence has been weak in the past few games. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:Milady doth protest too much. Besides, you think the Rebels would be better? Your naivete is amusing. [/conceitedness] ;) And don't even mention the Trakovites. They are guilty of the worst crime possible. . . the suppression of knowledge, science, advancement. . . Harmful knowledge or not, that is all that it takes for Nalyd to wish the most demonic torments upon them. -------------------- Fear us, mortals, but never envy, for though we burn with power, our fuel is our sorrows.
