Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I mostly agreed with the awakened... though they should give respect to their creators, they are their own sentient beings,and should be able to make their own choices... In the bible, is that not what God did for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan +rosycat Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Takers all the way, considering the damage done to the serviles. But I sided with the Awakened out of my robotic instincts that forgiveness is preferable to revenge and violence is just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Neutral for me. Don't get into conflicts and make as many friends as possible. Yeah, you might lose benefits but that's the way it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Nicothodes Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 In my real brain(meaning not in the game), I agree with the Awakened. Revenge always seemed pretty stupid to me(Look! He killed my father the expert swordsman! Since I'm only 10 and have no real purpose in life, let alone skill, I'm gonna hunt him down and make him pay!). In my character's brain, I usually agree with the Takers, just to get treasure/power/a continent named after me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Sir David Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Awakened in real life, Obeyers (? haven't played in a while) in the game because I like it when people do what I say and don't hate me and my race and want me dead.

Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I agreed with none of them. They were all very short-sighted in their planning and couldn't possibly survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I do like neutrality, which is why I joined the Awakened. I can understand that the Takers have gotten a rough deal and want some backpay, but it's not my job to help them get it. At best, it'd be to convince them of a more efficient way to improve their lives than revenge. Interesting nobody here agrees with the Obeyers (in RL terms, not in game terms)... is this just because we're all kind-hearted, freedom-loving and openminded?

Ineffable Wingbolt bogus standard candidate Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I agreed with each of them in different games (that is I sided with each different one). I tend to like the Awakened more, but not by much. In one of the games I just killed them all. I don't care for the Takers, though I see their frustration and their reaction. Tne Obeyers are keeping the Status Quo, and the Awakened are fine, but they still ended up being squashed. Perhaps a mixture of Awakened with a bit more edge could work. They would need to be patient, work from the inside (maybe pretending to be Obeyers for a while) until the right moment to act, not with the extreme of the Takers, but willing to go to a violent level if the need arises.

Ineffable Wingbolt Ironweed Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I can't side with anyone but the Awakened. And I literally mean I can't. If I try, gameplay gets really though and even unpleasant. It's a struggle to keep playing. Sooner or later I have to give up. I think Jeff overdid the goodness of the Awakened. Their flaws are really minimal. His attempts to make them seem less attractive are really pathetic. Oh, so they killed a servant mind? That's so evil! I better side with a bunch of violent madmen instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Mostly because the servant minds aren't really creatures you easily sympathize with. Basically big ugly blobs vaguely resembling fourlegged animals, with an even more vaguely human face. Most of them are deranged, and those that aren't behave like robots. Since the servant minds were made to have more mental capacity than serviles, I wonder why Jeff never included a servant mind that could develop its own thoughts...

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Regardless of whether we can sympathize with the minds, they're still amusing.

Seasoned Roamer runner Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I agreed with the awakened most, since their opinions seemed the most reasonable. But all of them were right in their own sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Suspicious Vlish Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I would definitely side with Trajkov and the Takers. Some Takers hate all shapers, but the smart ones realize that this is a rather unfair attitude. Shapers which help them are their allies. The serviles definitely were (and are) mistreated. The only way to fix this is to kick some serious shaper ass. The best defense is a good offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Sticky Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Quote: Takers all the way, considering the damage done to the serviles. But I sided with the Awakened out of my robotic instincts that forgiveness is preferable to revenge and violence is just wrong. That kinda mirrors my opinion as well if only the shapers would respond to the Awakened doctrine. The obeyers also have their ending going for them where they end up being more respected serviles- So the shapers kind of give them a little of what the Awakened wanted.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Kyna Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I preferred the Awakened until I found their major flaw. The major flaw I found with the Awakened was when they wanted me to do their dirty work. They claim they wanted to avoid violence - but what they meant was they wanted no blood on their hands, and it didn't matter to them if my character sold out her own people and got her hands dirty. I prefer the Trajkov ending. I wanted the serviles to be free and treated with respect, and Trajkov delivered on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I side with both the Obeyers and the Awakened. I believe that the Obeyers should laxen their rules a bit, and that they have a lot to learn from each other, as they together are the only ones that can keep the world from blowing up.

Burgeoning Battle Gamma SmirfOfDoom Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Well since no one else has, I might as well... I agreed with the Barzites the most. Not because of their insanity or greed for power, but for their ambition. They were willing to sacrafice anything to obtain their goals. They overthrew the rule of the shaper council, because they were holding them back, and they believed that if you had it in your power, it was yours. But then again I think you guys were probably talking about geneforge 1. Wasnt really paying attention to the category. Oops. Anyways yea.

Garrulous Glaahk PantherShadow Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Quote: (Look! He killed my father the expert swordsman! Since I'm only 10 and have no real purpose in life, let alone skill, I'm gonna hunt him down and make him pay!) Sounds like the general line of thinking for Inego in The Princess Bride. Anyway, IRL I sided with the Awakened, until (as it was mentioned) I realized that I was doing all their dirty work. In-game, however, I'd side with the Takers, just because the Obeyers didn't appeal to me very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd HoB0 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 i think the takers were right becouse in my opinion the servilles will never be free unless they take forcefull action to get there goal of freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Learned Noremac Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Yeah I sided with the awakened for the reasons already stated. However I think the decision might have been made a little harder if the obeyers werent so evil(starving the villages) and the awakened werent so angelic. Maybe if the awakened had been starving the villages and they obeyers were spotless.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I agreed with the awakened they don't really have a flaw like other people said I mean sure they fight but they dont fight shapers well not mad ones anyway but if they dint fight the game would be boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora BoldStryke Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I went with the Takers, simply because I thoghut they were in the right, as the servants were being mistreated severely.

Kyshakk Koan Controversial Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Yay for shapers! Shapers rule! Go shapers all the way! Those Obeyers know the real way is to keep the old traditions up and stuff. Obeyers rock! So in that case, Obeyers all the way. Oh yeah, the cool thing about obeyers is, you can kill 1 guard w/out upsetting the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Me, Myself & I Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Obeyers. If you don't want to get the Shaper concil angry at you, you'd better join obeyers. Anyway, they are like the Loyalists, cause they respect shapers and fear them not like mad takers or proud awakened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer aliklik Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 i tried siding with takers and the foreign guy, and i also tried obeyers and the creators. I never tried awakened. I probably agree with the awekened the most.

Well-Actually War Trall Dolphin Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I agree with the Awakened for the most part. Though they did kind of brutally kill that servant mind. They are clean and productive, and still speak to the shapers with respect, and are free. They always told me to use the Geneforge, than when I did they were afraid of me. That was kind of annoying. The takers are almost on the right path. They are to fixated on revenge instead of improving themselves. They live in dirty conditions and their architecture has not greatly improved. That and they let the outsiders in, Truly lame. They should know with such behavior that as soon as the Shaper counsel found out they would all be killed. The Obeyers are just sad. I felt bad for them, but there is always that less enlightened part of us that is flattered by hundreds of little servile worshiping us. I would never beat, kill or treat them badly though. Maybe over time I could get them to gain some independence. They were so loyal that they would deem you “not a true shaper” and disobey you, they way to over trained.
