Um, it's on the first or second page of this thread. You'll have to copy, paste, and splice it into the game files, though.

Yes, it was probably a cruel joke on the part of Jeff. If anyone changes the graphic, can they post it here?

Nope. Won't happen. The most you would get would be strange looks and bad vibes. Besides, your all new noobs, other than Milla. But, on a less disparaging note, this has been a frustration to Spiderwebbers for a long time. Jeff has decided against it, probably because it would be an unfair restriction if you joined the Shapers.

Well, in this one, you might have indirectly controlled guard creations, periodic attacks, actual defense measures, etc. It won't happen. Wait for Blades of Geneforge: an RTS. And, no, that won't happen either.

The ideal setup would be: Intelligent creations such as the Drakons, Drayks, Gazers, etc. having equal rights if they wish it. They still must live semi-subservient to the Shapers, and nobody will hesitate to destroy them at the first sign of hostility. They will live in a specially formed territory, and allowed to die out. Shaping should be volunteer only. All who wish to join, can, but they undergo rigorous psychological and physical tests to be admitted. Serviles who are not Shaped are allowed to join the other independent creations in their pseudo-freedom. All creations deemed by the Shaper Council to be safe continue to be created, but Serviles are shaped only with complete obedience. The Trakovites are exterminated. Naturally. Mind you, this is simply the arrangement that would appear to be the best accepted by all sides, without undue bloodshed. It is not the best or most secure.

Probably because the arms are always held straight out, T-Rex style.

Demonslayer isn't the best sword in the game. It's really only sub-par, even when used against demons. And type with some semblance of literacy.

Um, Rentar-Ihrno is FEMALE. And if you read the description, you would see that Erika was winning. Erika was just caught by surprise by the boulders falling from he ceiling.

Yeah, the short-shorts under the robe do tend to detract from. . . Well, everything.

Maybe she developed a sort of "Aura of Darkness" spell for emergencies. Awful, Small Fry. You are the ultimate embodiment of the Anti-Spidweb.

They aren't earned, in the sense that you did not learn them. Instead, you took an extremely expensive shortcut. The expense going into canisters far outweighs the benefits, which are the same as learning the spell, with some ego, addiction, and anger thrown in. Kind of like steroids. Plus, you can never rule out the possibility of some random ignoramus stumbling over a canister and learning, oh, say. . . Charm.

The Shapers reject canisters because, first of all, they have adverse psychological effects, and second of all, they are not earned. With canisters, anyone, anyone, can gain any power. A six year old could cast Acid Rain, or create a Kyshakk. Worse yet, a complete outsider, unaware of any kind of Shaping could use one by accident, and the power could unleash itself randomly, simply because the user lack the control or discipline to control it.

But the Shock Trooper makes a better "cower by the exit-every skill point into intelligence" build than the Lifecrafter.

ET, you missed the point. The Shapers were wrong. They needed to make that concession to the Rebels. It was an important turning point that changed them from the rigid and inflexible empire to a flexible one, with a greater hope of victory. They admitted they were wrong, and even if they maintain an enormous contempt for the warped Rebels, they recognize that they, too can be used.

Well, their main continent would probably be in much better shape than Terrestria, even before the Rebels attacked.

Eh, you made a good point, so necromancy forgiven. The Shapers are already shown as making concessions in the way of acceptance and independence. They accept you as an agent, despite you being Geneforge-warped, or even a Servile. If you do some quests for the Rebels, the Shapers won't attack you on sight. Admittedly, there aren't any annoying infinite-spawn no-option-but-to-attack Rebel forts, but that is strictly explained as border control. The Rebels are partly in the right. Creations do need to be treated at least marginally better. The art of Shaping needs to be advanced at a far faster rate, and that is only possible by recruiting more Shapers, and being more liberal with the power of Shaping. The problem with the Rebels is that they took it too far. The canisters allow anyone to gain the power of Shaping without earning it through the effort and discipline that guarantee that they will not misuse it. They wish complete and utter freedom for creations, which would equate to an army of rogues surrounding you on all sides, with your leaders forbidding oyu from defending yourself. The Trakovites are afraid and weak. They are jealous of the power of the Shapers, and too fearful to become Rebels. They see what has become of their lives and lands because of the misuse of Shaping, but they are unable to realize that it is misuse.

Ignore Crypto. Call it GeneWorld.

But you can't cast a spell and the move to make a melee attack. This is what killed the loner glass cannon strategy.

Did you do all the quests from the Castle?

They are gone, along with the abilities.

He'll summon four Hellhounds, though.

All right, maybe two rings. But it still won't happen. Hey, maybe there should just be two "Accessory" slots that anything random can fit into. Earrings, two rings, and finally a wearable cloak clasp! Ha. Have fun with that one, suckers.

Actually, it's because each ring has a delicate magical aura that would be disrupted by other rings. The real reason is that it would make your characters horribly overpowered. Maybe an insanely difficult side quest/puzzle for the infinite inventory.

Look in the walkthrough at the top of the forum list.

All we need now is unlimited inventory and more magic ring slots.
