Pffft. Overthinking it is what I enjoy.
-
2 years... I will hold off and play the remastered. PS. I am one of the people that bugged him, sending an email or two a year or two ago. Glad that I did.
-
Jeff was probably too harsh with himself. Sure he probably forgot a few things along the way, but I believe he started each GF game with the premise "what works best as setup?" not "According to my faulty memory... what was the canon ending of the previous game?"
-
This game... this game has made me to give a pause and get a strange unease when I hear about non-human surgeons, created surgeons if you will, that are under a platform named Monarch. I mean it is certainly good news for humanity ... right?
-
For starters you can be a servile in GF5, while you can't in GF3.
-
Damn, I was scared for a bit... I certainly want a GF1 remake since I haven't played the original and GF2 while good story would certainly benefit from more love to creations and improved mechanics like a better inventory system. Thanks Randomizer.
-
Another way to do it, quite more complex but doable, is through a usable item that triggers a script. But for the creations to not be in the party, they have to be included in all zones. Level, bonuses etc can be scripted, but the presence of the creations to be summoned is unavoidable and its the big hustle. It is possible in a way similar to the way Pinchy (the imba-powerful Clawbug Shaped by Arkaron when you have him in your party in the Warrior Mod) worked, but it is too much work to do that for all zones. TL;DR sorry mate, it's too much work...

G5: I'm... strengthening my enemies... somehow...
alhoon replied to Affable's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
Which drayks if I may ask? Perhaps the scripts boost some? But still, it wouldn't be "Strengthened by your presence"... probably a bug. But 46 lvl? War-Trall Shaper? War-Tralls are super-cost-effective essence-wise. At 46 lvl you probably have a few artifacts to give your creations a +6 to +12 to stats or something and a ton of essence. With 5 high-level War tralls you probably could take everything in the game, including the final battles. You can cut through those 1500 hp drayks with ease. Do it! :-) -
The one I would miss the most is what every Shaper has GF3 and onwards: Shape in battle. I would hug the back and send waaaaaaaves of expendable creations.
-
If you put in the artifacts one could have and items that give your creations huge boosts, I think they are not. Weeeeeeeell... some people have tried it. Yes they are OP but not "horrendously". They are like 1 1/2 War Tralls more or less. And let's be sincere here: even without them towards the end game a completionist is ridiculously OP already. My endgame Shaper had a ton of artifacts and items that boosted creations giving them like +8-12 to stats. Throw in the regeneration aura so they get back ~30 hp per round and they're like +15-20 levels or something (and they started high because I had a different set of items to boost my Shaping skills).
-
Awesome.
-
Well, if you don't want to worry with weight at all, perhaps make everything weigh 0.1 like the potions
-
Playing as a Shaper, I've cheated more strength. Not a crazy amount mind you, a 10-12 or something. I still have problems carrying too much but the game was built with that limitation in mind, I think. Changing everything to 1 would also make coins weight that much perhaps, and potions and stackables etc. Also, it would make the choice between armors meaningless.
-
Also he's IMO a very hard boss if you don't take out the other two Shapers first.
-
Reused an existing one with a different dialogue.
-
I didn't. I rehashed an existing shop. Go to the script for the right NPC and see the shop number. That's what I use.
-
Well: "Zone 0 - Pacification Fields: 0,0,9,0,4,0,5,0" "Zone 61 - Inner Gazaki-Uss: 0,0,9,0,8,0,2,0" So I would say that the 3rd number is not the weather, since Inner G-U doesn't have the same weather (possible snow) as Pacification fields.

Geneforge BOARDGAME fan made expansion!
alhoon replied to Ari's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
I have not played descent but I applaud your effort! -
All mods are good
-
With steam you can play offline, but Lilith is correct. Of course, I have bought the series twice for myself and two more times for friends. And I am poor as a note. That's how much I want to support it.
-
Hmmm... Perhaps independent stories in the universe, with small tie-ins from the big names would be better. As for "movies ruin games\books": I don't agree. More often than not they do a good job. But as for geneforge? I don't see any big budget movie \ series happening and if we get those amateurish productions with Shaper Robes looking like bathrobes-with-a-die-over, over-the-top acting and cartoonish creations, I would be very sad. Would still watch it. But I would be sad.
-
I believe a TV series would be better but movies could work too.
-
Hello! Not to be ungrateful or pushy, just a question out of interest: How is this going?
-
That would make any char insanely overpowered.
-
There are also duplicates of items you encounter in past games. For starters... Geneforges! I don't think you ever encounter the same Geneforge, but you encounter Geneforges. Some NPCs carry from a game to the next. Many events in the games are considered to have taken place in following games although many are "modified". For example, it is considered that the Rebellion started in the Ashen Isles and the big Shaper boss there died. Whether you kill him in the game or not.
