Unbound Servile

This is truly a huge spoiler, I really recommend doing the small ritual in-game yourself. But, here it goes anyway ...

The Boe Carbon version works as intended on OSX 10.5 and the other builds (whereunder your latest build) work fine on my newer Mac running 10.8. Anyway, I can play BoE now so thanks alot for your time.

True, also notice that our beloved Rawal found the G5 protagonist near the Drypeak mountains, the center of Rebel power. If the G5 protagonist wanted to, he/she could have easily gained acces to a Geneforge from there.

Hey Lilith, I have to give you this one, I searched the G5 scripts, and I found evidence that the G5 protagonist has used the Geneforge before. begintalknode 74; state = 71; nextstate = 72; condition = 1; question = "(Start screaming.)"; text1 = "Another fragment of memory. A scream. From the first time you touched the Geneforge. It matches exactly the scream you are letting out right now."; Perhaps the G3 protagonist theory is less plausible than I first thought. Yet, there are still plenty of pro-arguments, too much to just abandon the theory.

Alhoon: Actually #6 works for against the GF3 theory. Greta and Alwan's meetings with the GF3 Shaper were far deeper and personal than with the GF4 rebel. They travelled together at their formative years. #6 is not contradictory with my theory; the game states that the protagonist's exterior was heavily modified as well, which explains the faint recognition. Also, it's been some years (roughly 10 years) since Alwan and Greta have seen their old companion from back on the isles. In that time, lots of other people have come into Alwan and Greta's lives (e.g. Alwan & Miranda). Plus, there is a war going on out there. Would you, in such circumstances, in split-second, remember a heavily modified, barely recognizable old companion of yours who just waltzed through your door? Alwan, Greta, ... actually do remember you (albeit faintly), their reaction makes me strongly suspect that they had a personal relationship with the G5 protagonist, but a relationship from the past. Their behavior suggest that you remind them of someone they used to spend alot of time with. Alhoon: #4 is kinda more bogus than clear. GF5 makes clear that the Geneforge of Rawal "resets" the character although he or she have used a geneforge in the past. The Geneforge was designed to modify one individual only once. When the G5 protagonist uses the Rawalforge, it modifies him/her as intended and removes some of the fog that blurs his/her mind. I would say that the partial clearance of the protagonist's mind is that so-called "reset". Alhoon: My favorite theory? GF1 or (with a stretch cause of the time) GF2 protagonist turned to Monarch turned to GF5 character. G1 protagonist seems quite unlikely to me, but the Monarch theory is pretty cool and seems to be one of the most common (along with the G3 theory). I still cling to the G3 protagonist theory (because of the multitude of pro-arguments for that theory), but it's interesting to hear (or read) what you think!

Hey Scourge of the Rebellion, I have read alot of topics on this forum regarding the Geneforge 5 protagonist's past, and I suspect too that the G5 protagonist is probably the G3 protagonist, for a number of reasons. 1. Multiple important characters from the latter Geneforge games seem to recognize you, inculding Alwan, Greta and Litalia. Their reaction upon encounter in G5 makes me believe you were once important to them in the past and that they personally knew you. 2. The game states that the G5 protagonist has undergone alot of alteration in his/her past. Since the alterations seem to be numerous and powerful, it makes me believe that the G5 protagonist was a person of power and influence who had acces to valuable resources, and not a random general, Pol, or Augmented Russian Sholai. 3. Lara in the Dera Reaches leads me to confirm my speculations that the G5 protagonist was a protagonist from a previous game. 4. It was stated in previous Geneforge games that one can only benefit once from the effects of the Geneforge. When the user's genes are modified and realigned by the Geneforge, that person can swim freely into the pool (as stated in G1). The protagonist in G5 uses the Rawalforge which severely reduces the possibility that the G4 and G5 protagonists are the same person, since the G4 portagonist uses the Geneforge in Southforge Citadel. 5. Note that both the G3 and G5 slideshows feature a female protagonist. 6. Although Alwan, Greta, ... seem to recognize the G5 protagonist, their recognition is rather faint. Too faint to think the G5 protagonist is the G4 protagonist but strong enough to suspect he/she was the G3 protagonist.

Hello again CM, thanks for taking the time to make that build. But I can't get it to run, the program quits unexpectedly. It seems that the debugger quits the program because of an unknown required load command (EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)) I downloaded and tried all the BOE Mac builds I could find on your site but I encounter the same problem with them as well. I'm using Mac OSX 10.5 (Intel). EDIT: I found a version of BoE that runs on my Mac (yay!). Since my OS is prehistorical, I still have Rosetta (PPC emulator) so i downloaded the PPC version of BoE. It works perfectly. http://spiderwebforu...lades-of-exile/ I'll try the Intel builds on my other Mac.

Hey Celtic Minstrel, i'm a Mac-user and I'd love to play this remaster, can you make a Mac build? Thanks alot.

Do I side with the Shapers ... or the Rebellion? Hehe, I think I'm like Don Deroceras when it comes to this matter.

Hello everyone, I have created a pixel art for Avernum, I hope you like it. http://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/ja/50698.html

Gladwell's quests are a bit of a Faust-motive case, so you might reconsider doing them. In A6, the consequences of helping him are rather minimal compared to the nice rewards you get. Though helping Gladwell has an impact on the ending, and not really a good impact.

Hello Spiderweb Software forum members, I have completed Nethergate: Resurrection a few times both as a Roman and Celt party. I really enjoyed N:R; I enjoyed the story, dwelling through Shadowvale and I liked the game's engine. Now, I am thinking of a special playthough, a playthrough which is both fun and challenging: a Crystal Wand playthrough. Yes, I'm going through the game using a Crystal Wand only. The Crystal Wand is a great item, not only for it's damage, but also because it's the only really good ranged weapon in the game (though a sling has it's uses too). It is a pity that the Wand of Crystalness can only be used at the very end of the game, so that's why I came to the idea of this playthrough. The Crystal Wand is an item of great power, so the playthrough has a few rules to keep your characters from becoming gods. A few rules for the playthrough: • You are only allowed to use the Crystal Wand to harm an enemy; it is forbidden to use any melee weapon, cast a damaging spell (from any of the magic circles) or use a summoned creature (from any of the magic circles) to deliver damage to an opponent. It is also forbidden to use any other magical item (such as scrolls, wands, Sylak's Thumpin' Shovel, ...) to deliver damage. Using magic to augment or heal oneself (such as Battle Rage, Shielding, ...) is allowed. • Since the Crystal Wand is a late game item, the character editor may be used to add a Crystal Wand (and a Robe of the Archdruid) to each of your characters' inventory. • Your characters may never equip any armor made of metal, leather armor must be used. If you're a singleton, metal armor is allowed. • You may invest skill points in any skill you like to increase (though some of the skills become useless because of the playthrough's limitations), you are allowed to use any trait avaidible. • The difficulty can never be set below normal. Do you have any suggestions, idea's, comments? Please let me know, I'm looking forward to trying this out. Unbound Servile.
