A drayk in a valley will offer to trade with you at outrageous prices:
GF1: Ol' what's-his-name; GF2: That other drayk/drakon
Mysterious loner out in the middle of nowhere who gives you cryptic advice, pretends to be sitting on the fence while actually encouraging you (in a roundabout way) to join a certain faction and/or is willing to help you change your political affiliations once and only once by whispering in the right ears, offers to make you a special item if you can scrounge up the right materials, and refuses to let you to ransack their locked bedroom:
GF1: That servile hermit, GF2: Sharon
Meet a desperate, isolated band of warriors out in the middle of nowhere who are surrounded by enemies who have been launching random attacks on them at random during the past few months, and who will rely on your incredible fighting abilities to destroy a swarm of their enemies single-handedly before you've even had your breakfast:
GF1: The Obeyers out in the woods; GF2: That fort out in the swamp
A raving, glowing, powerhungry, borderline lunatic will offer you supreme power like that which he himself possess if you will do some trifling errand for him which he apparently can't be bothered to complete and whose reluctance to do it himself does not at all reflect his cowardice despite his extremely competent abilities. It's really just to prove you're trustworthy, yeah that's it!:
GF1: Trajkov; GF2: Barzahl
And so on. Still, I can't wait to see how the names have changed yet again for Geneforge 3! But honestly, I do love these games. History does repeat, you know, especially when power is involved.
I'm pretty sure that the one that will be 'lunatic' will be Litalia in GF3, or maybe THE creation behind THAT door.
(You know, the things we don't know about... If we don't know what I am talking about, I... Someone, anyone, help me understand what I am saying!)
