  1. That's totally a key to her inner sanctum or past some city's defences or something.
  2. I am asking for theories and if anyone remembers from GF2 the original whether Shanti had a strange token as in her description in the steam page.
  3. Nobody told you not to. They didn't have the chance. 🤣 Also, how do you plan to use the geneforge? I doubt you will find out about the gloves. I don't know if they can be found / used without that knowledge.
  4. While checking this, I also checked the screenshots. I saw Shanti has a necklace of feathers and fangs... i.e. a token like those we need to pass ... either the Barzite or Taker areas. I forget. HOW did Shanti got hold of that token before the game really started? Also, remember when Greta makes fun of Monarch for his token? The Rebels AND Shapers are using those by the dozen. OK, the Shapers started using them when things got rough, but the Rebels are spamming them in all games. Greta (that for all I know could be holding 1-2 such tokens to pass the Shadow Road that I think was up and running by that time AND a token to go to the Northforge) should not be making fun of Monarch for his baton.
  5. So, how does that "turn Sucia to an island devoid of any sentience except servant-minds" goes? I was also thinking, 50-100 years later someone else may come to Sucia to find only ruins and overgrown areas, someone thinking the Shapers probably never set foot there only to suddenly encounter servant minds, some of which may remember one lone Shaper. Further investigation and piecing together what the Servant minds have to say and what they will find in broken labs would lead them to believe that the cannisters turn Shapers completely bonkers.
  6. Probably more lies from Lying Zakary the Deceiver. We were told his dialogue would be expanded. Considering that about 150% of what he said was lies, I expect more of the same. Now, jokes aside, I would love some GF2 stuff with more quests and creations but the idea that I have to deal more with that butthole creeps me out. I am not looking forward to talks with Zakary. I have found recently that I love to hate some villains and simply dislike others. Zakary is just that.
  7. 😐 In Geneforge? And you're a long-time multi-replay kind of guy? I am surprised. I wished my creations would have some basic reactions or something. Like a Thahd saying "aaargh" once a while or a drayk throwing you an one liner, etc.
  8. The rebels do not "Capture you" at the beginning of the game. You are a farmer that willingly joins the rebellion along with your friends. Then you see the Shapers killing your friends as you madly run to escape the horrors they unleashed on you.
  9. 😳😲 How??? At level 12? Without access to much of training? I wouldn't dare attack them and they annoy me to no end. These guys are the reason that the Takers are right. Sure, the Awakened are more moral but the Takers are more right. I remember passing that locked door without joining the Takers. I don't remember how and I had a lot of leadership. Also, I couldn't do much past it as I wasn't a taker. I think I was either warned to leave or was attacked on sight. Oh, THAAAAT is the level 20 drayk... As for the things he gives in exchange of skill points, to be honest I wasn't enthused. They jump in melee. Which is a good way to use them as a temp meat shield, IIRC. Throw one underleveled Alpha in the midst of the Sholai to do some damage and then soak up attacks.
  10. Just thought of it: Has anyone thought to put in a quest that would potentially save Shanti? Even if it means she gets to be imprisoned by the Awakened in order to not break the story.
  11. When I did it, I did it with Pyroroamers. I don't remember the exact strategy but it took a lot of load-and-saves. I remember trying to position the pyroroamers to activate properly so I could "divide" the Sholai. Also, I didn't use only Pyroroamers. I had more creations as back-up.
  12. This. THIS (And his book showing his greatest ambition is for a Shaper to pet him on the head and tell him he did well) is why I can't stand the Shapers and the Obeyers. After a century of neglect, after ideological differences led the Obeyers to fight and kill Serviles in the name of the bygone Shapers, a Shaper comes up and kills the Obeyers. And "We tried. I am sorry." is what Rydell says as he is being butchered. Pyroroamers...
  13. O_O Really?! IIRC Godiva is level 20 so to take it down at level 9 it is exceptional to say the least. PS, because it has to be said: Godiva said it best about the rogues and creations and pushed me towards the Takers instead of the Awakened. Not that I could actually turn on the Awakened.
  14. How do you recharge essence, if I may ask? Having murdered an entire village makes it friendly again and you can rest there? Or you travel aaaall the way to a pool and charge there?
  15. After killing all of them, there should be a lot of interesting and useful loot laying around from the shops. With everyone dead, it is not stealing!
  16. 🤣 What difficulty are you playing at? I am really glad you do this and for the one - by - one AAR. Huh? Are you sure? Well, I should have guessed. I wish I could give you a thumbs-up again...
  17. Some madman tried that in the past? Also, I think it is possible in GF3.
  18. I was not talking about Torment, but yes, turning a zone hostile on entrance was what I had in mind. If one can't go through even the first zone that is impossible. However, if the parameters changed to "go through the zone without turning it hostile but you can't talk to anyone"... is it possible to get out of Vakiri? Or you have to talk to people if the zone is not hostile? I don't remember whether there are people that automatically draw you to a dialogue if you approach them in Vakiri.
  19. In some of the starting areas that you meet those Serviles way above your level, I think you can run through, leaving perhaps a creation back here or there to kite them away from you, till you are powerful enough to return and kill them - the "goal" of this is not to kill everything on first sight but to turn every zone hostile as soon as possible. Some areas being locked is OK, but what you say, about the servant mind in the 2nd zone I think ... clicks. I am not sure you can attack that Servant mind before the discussion finishes and it opens the door. But if you can turn it hostile and that results in you being locked out, then it means that it is indeed impossible to finish the game as a murderous lunatic. Not hard, impossible.
  20. So, I am aware that there are people that have finished the pacifist route, without directly making a single attack or their creations making a single attack. It can be done. The game takes that into account and there are avenues to do that. However, has anyone done the opposite? I.e. butcher everything everywhere. No dialogue. No "I will return after the Geneforge and wipe out serviles 10 levels below me." Nope. Total war, attack everything. Not a single ally. If he/she/it tries to speak you, you attack it. Is it possible to do it? Yes, I know it is technically possible to walk to the Sholai, cut them down and GTFO. But is it possible to do fight everything from the get-go? I.e. practically not finishing any quest, losing a ton of rewards and all but go on a complete rampage... and actually be good enough to beat the Sholai and get out.
  21. When the next round of news is out, we will talk about that. But honestly, if there's NDA in place I think we should respect it and not try to find where the actual limits are. Let's avoid skirting close to them.
  22. Most of them are, IIRC. They were supposed to be building plants for the colony, not for the hidden lands behind the colony.
