  1. Actually what seems to be the biggest mistake was barring sucia island instead of nuking it back to the stone age. Had the shapers cleaned up the island with a flamethrower mopping up all mention of the Geneforge then the whole story would never have started. It was their secretive escape which lead to the centuries of buildup on the island which just needed any shaper to show up to unlock everything.

  2. It probably has more to do with the age of boards and everyone getting used to posting on the old sites which didn't have all those smiley options.

    Though I do remember some awful experiments with colorful, flashing and moving text.

    For a while I had a gimmick of using subscript and superscript in every post but at some point that also drifted away leaving just plain text.

  3. The guardian with max parry. I'm not sure what I'm going to do after I max out parry, but I still have a few levels to go before I get there.

    I'll probably then raise intelligence so I can use defensive spells, but I'm not committed to anything yet.

  4. Is money critical in this game? I know in Geneforge 1 there comes a point when looting is pointless as you can drain all the merchants and accumulate a ridiculous amount of unspendable cash after buying every skill offered.

    I am in the first servile city, Medad and nonmember pricing for training is listed as exorbitant. Should I try for cheaper trainers (either other cities or through membership), or does it not matter as I'll eventually run out of things to buy anyways?

    "Get out of our country" means you end up in some other land. It might not be as nice, there might be serious material consequences, it might lack cultural significance -- but that's still a far cry from "you're going through a one-way portal into a cave system full of monsters and demons, where we've been sending criminals and bloodthirsty demihumans as well, and if you somehow survive you'll never see the sun again, or your loved ones, or eat normal food."

     

    I also think there's a real difference between ejecting an entire people en masse, and ejecting individuals who are not otherwise connected. That part about being forcibly separated from everyone you know...

    Speaking of Australia.....

  6. Well, it's done. I just finished playing Geneforge 1 on normal as a lone agent following the agent power walkthrough and found it a walk in the park. Once you get past the beginning and start pounding the canisters you are able to pretty much one-shot everything for a while. There was difficulty in the middle when enemies scaled up enough to require two shots and required careful attacks to avoid getting one-shoted in return. The lone agent isn't quite a glass cannon but mobs will destroy her. By the end game though I was steamrolling everything.

    Only problem I had was that while trying to get all the endings I discovered that using the geneforge crashed the game when i reached the boat. I would get the first screen of the winning text and then it would crash. This was regardless of whether I destroyed it after using or not. Has anybody ever encountered this before? I'm playing the humble bundle version on win 10.

  7. Well, you've found a way to escape already, but I just want to say that, should something similar happen again and you can't get back to another boat, there's a couple cheat codes that can save you. Type Shift+D, then in the box that comes up, type "backtostart" and "resetboats" to get warped back to Fort Avernum and move the boats back to their starting points. You'll have to buy the boats again, though, sadly.

    before you do this please note that there is at least one game destroying bug associated with using the "backtostart" cheat. there is a significant chance of causing every storage container to be empty for the rest of the game. it also has been known to interfere with receiving achievement medals which isn't game breaking but can be annoying.

  8. I just saw the trailer for the warcraft movie and the first thing I thought of was how cool an Avernum movie would be. The whole underground cave system in all of its beauty would be absolutely amazing to watch.

  9. Anybody remember what the maximum level that can be reached in Geneforge 1?

    I stopped collecting things after I cleaned out all the merchants (including the sholai in the wooded valley) and stopped giving in collection quests when I stopped getting exp for them.

    But I noticed that the inner crypt consistently delivers 50-75 exp per creation killed. So I could farm it for a while if I get bored.

    I was just curious how high I could get it.
