I think we should. We should be able to devistate the lands with high and powerful creations. Posts: 47 | Registered: Tuesday, January 22 2008 08:00 |

We probably will get a new creation in the higher levels, but not something as unbalanced as an unbound. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Unbound are huge, mindless Drakons gifted with as much power as a physical body can take. You read in the text (not directly but you get the impression) that they are as powerful as it is possible for a physical creature to be. But in so doing they have become totally, utterly, mindless Not savage, not rogue, just mindless. Incapable of any rational thought, such is the power that they barely contain. They were created as endgame, doomsday, armageddon. The ultimate weapon to obliterate the shapers. In other words; no. You will not create them. -------------------- Jeran Korak-Half-Drow Posts: 942 | Registered: Sunday, October 8 2006 07:00 |

:cool: Any creation can be controlled. And did you create the creature or make the game. How do you know unless you did? All it takes is a very powerful shaper and alot of essence. But i see your point. They probably wont be in creation selection. But they better have something a heck of alot better than the Ur-Drakon and way cooler. Because on Geneforge 4 I am a Lifecrafter with 500 Health and 3 permanent Ur-Drakons two of them with 1600 health each and my main Ur-Drakon that has 1680 health and destroyed all major characters on terrestria. And I have 315 extra essence for back up creations. I have made the best account that i have ever made. I have never been beaten. :cool: Posts: 47 | Registered: Tuesday, January 22 2008 08:00 |

The entire point of the unbound is that they can't be controlled. That's their raison d'être. -------------------- Geneforge 4 stuff. Also, everything I know about Avernum | Avernum 2 | Avernum 3 | Avernum 4 Posts: 1104 | Registered: Monday, March 10 2003 08:00 |

Yes and no. For one, they had to be made in vats. no one ever mentioned it would be possible to make it without one, so no But the Ur-Drakons also had to be made in vats at first, but than because of "inflation" you could than make them without it. So if jeff wants to do that than fine. I personally think that it would be much more cinematic if we couldn't make them. Posts: 39 | Registered: Monday, November 12 2007 08:00 |

The only creature I really want is the Oozebeast. Or, failing that, the Ornk Lord. Posts: 363 | Registered: Wednesday, February 22 2006 08:00 |

Hey someone else with similar interests! I too would like to make an oozebeast. Though they lack in speed and power, they would make up for it by spraying acid. And they're cool.

Geneforge 7, the last boss to win the game. for the rebels, killing the council, for the shapers, A GAINT UR-OOZEBEAST!!! It should have aura of flames and acid spray and unleash both at the same time. And 500 health. No, 5000 health! And it should be neon orange! -------------------- Don't mess with Texas.

Jeff is pretty notorious for evolving concepts as new games come out. Just look how the geneforge itself has become weakened over four games. He could easily include the unbound as the third level drakon creation in the next game and simply include a few lines of text saying the design has been rewritten for more obedience and less random destruction. Not that I would like for this to happen, I personally am not a fan of big pink dragons. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Then Imban really WOULD be everyone! But jokes aside, while I admit it would be fun to have a massive pink Barny look-alike under your contrl incinerating everything in massive blasts of burning essence, it's also totally unrealistic. It's not going to happen. -------------------- Jeran Korak-Half-Drow Posts: 942 | Registered: Sunday, October 8 2006 07:00 |

While they wouldn't be possible for a lone shaper to make it might be possible to seize control of one in a similar manner when you face down the prototype at ghaldaring hq. However this wouldn't be easy and I sincerly doubt game mechanics will let you walk around with a barney. -------------------- A rock has weight whether you admit it or not Posts: 479 | Registered: Wednesday, July 12 2006 07:00 |
