Plus, I wonder if you are infringing Jeff's copyright.

I've vaguely planned out a scenario as follows: An introduction during the Avernum-Empire wars, where the party are Imperial irregular troops, helping an attack on an Avernite outpost. Kill lots of avernite soldiers with help from a squad of troops, rescue tortured prisoners, etc. After all avernites are dead, Vahnatai will arrive in an endless stream, forcing the player to retreat. Fast forward 10 years. Party tours Praglad, visiting a peaceful town in a peaceful vale. Town is nice and decadent, and disdainful of the party. Perhaps racist. News of Avernites causing plagues in Valorium. Then an Avernite envoy arrives. Now, divide into two paths. Player can switch paths up to a point, by persuing certain actions. Path A: Player kills the envoy, protecting the town. Player is arrested by Mayor for disorder, but contacted and secretly released. Player sneaks into Imperial fort, and talks to an old comrade. Is told that Prazac had been scared by Avernites into submission, and that he is part of a secret force to restore the integrity of the Empire. Player ordered to attack Avernites taken on escorted tour around vale. Player ordered to kill Imperial scouts assigned to lead group, and locate rogue Imperial army people. Player ordered to attack main Avernite camp. Player ordered to 'cleanse' town of Avernite influence. Path B: Player talks to envoy, learning of Avernum-Empire treaty. Player leads delegation of Avernites, surviving 'bandit' ambushes. Player survives assassination attempt. Player accumulates evidence pointing to real source of attacks. Player attacks base, killing big bad boss. Currently 2% complete.

I always thought it was kinda cool that Geneforge 2 included a secret full version of Exile 4. Kinda beats the usual, kinda pointless, Easter Eggs. Has anyone beaten the Prazac-Doomguard Hybrid yet?

What's so funny? Can YOU beat my prices? I think not...

All the ones he was going to do anyway are in. All the others are out.

Oh, and you are now signed up to Russian porn. Have fun.

You all missed a point. The Fyora's name has to be a special password. Several people will give it to you. Jeff is one. But the cheapest way is to send me $25.99, along with and I'll email you the password. I accept cheques, and credit card transactions. But cash is the best.

An anagram of 'Orb of Thralni' is: Oh, a born flirt!

But really, GF2 is pretty easy to complete. You should just go with the faction you agree with.

I remember having great success using Protective Sphere (sp? Priest spell, which creates concentric fields) and Web. IIRC, the Doomguards would slip onto the fields, or the webs. I killed Erika this way. Don't dual-wield, or spell-attack in this battle. Just keep up the major blessings, and whack with your greatswords/halberds. I remember using man's best friend (aka captured Ur-Basilisks) as well.

Reopen the file in paint, and have another look. When you save, the colours may have been changed. Paint works badly with palette changes. Also check that your colours are to the correct format - remember, BoA takes 256 colour 8 bit bitmaps. Finally, lighting and shadows may alter your colours. Or perhaps its psychological?

You can copy and paste in some graphics, if you want, to replace the normal PC graphics. You might also be able to hex edit in race characteristics. But you would make Jeff mad, or sad, which is bad, you naughty lad.

Is the deadline still... erm... today? Since I've only noticed this thread just now, and it is kinda unrealistic for me to write an entry in minus 18 hours...

Nah. The Third Army has the major disadvantage that they can't actually move. It is only possible to get through using hex editing. And then, you find that there is nothing there.

Perhaps DwtD is set *before* A3? Or it could be just a coincidence.

Code: reset_dialog(); add_dialog_str(0,"Description.",0); add_dialog_str(1,"Description.",0); add_dialog_str(2,"Description.",0); add_dialog_str(3,"_Bring._",0); add_dialog_str(4,"_Ok?_",0); add_dialog_choice(0,"Maybe."); set_flag(1,1,1); toggle_quest(1,1); I don't know scripts much, but it looks like you have set up a dialog, but haven't run it.

Hmm... I want to do a puzzle based on conway's game of life. (should be possible with the new scripts) Have the player make a glider gun, or something. But I wonder at how I can possibly justify it...

Yes to both. The best bit of Diplomacy with the Dead, IMHO, is when you go SW to massacre yet another horde of goblins, only to hear them tell you how they don't want to fight, that they just want to be left alone, and that the mountains were no use to humans anyways. I felt so sorry for them that I turned back. Screw rewards. Screw the approval of the local captain.

They are the company signature, a homage to Jeff's tarantula, and the company nature. A sign to all that Vogel was here. Except that they don't appear in any of the Geneforge series... but anyways...

Quote: Originally written by Thuryl: Quote: Originally written by FZ: The Exiles would win, because they seem to have an overabundance of heroic four/six man armies. As Alec once pointed out, if the number of times the average player reloads is anything to go by, Exile is littered with the bodies of would-be heroes. Also, the Exiles/Avernites seem to have mastered a form of control over space and time, using the dark arts of Savefiles, and the artifact called the Character Editor. This gives them the edge. Also, if Exile/Avernite heros don't move, no one else can.

Stop stating the obvious, people. This thread is for speculation and wild ideas/guesses.

Instead of a backpack, it must be possible to go one better: Items in BoA are currently persistent, right? So you can have instead a pocket dimension. An object that operates by saving the current location of the player, teleporting him to the storage town, and then teleporting him back on a second use. Though this could be hugely abusable, and can only be used in town mode.
