Ijuuin Enzan

I'm well past the Ocean, but I'll try to remember that next time. If I figure out how.

Whatever it is is more than graphical. The dragon is not merely invisible, there is simply no dragon there.

I'm riding Mac OS 10.5.1, BoA 1.2.1 and Exodus 1.1.0 (according to the read me). My party is unadorned vanilla and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary other than the rakshasa mages I do so love to summon arcanely being graphically absent (black cubes). I haven't touched anything filewise, all is as it was intended to be. Color me flummoxed.

For the sake of not creating a new thread when there's this nice shiny one here, I'd like to point out that when I reached the domicile of the dragon in the Lava Ocean, everything but the dragon himself was present. A very helpful message came up telling me I was staring at a dragon, and the theoretical dragon in question was all too happy to curse me for entering his inner sanctum, but the star of the show was for all reasonable purposes absent in his entirety. I was disappointed.

In the depths of the giant fortress, I came across some alcohol of dubious nature. Oh my, thought I, now I'm drunk. How delightfully naughty. Except it doesn't seem to be going away. And I don't seem to be able to damage anything anymore. And nothing seems to cure drunkenness. So... HALP

For the record, I've since noticed the graphical bug appearing on other sprites, primarily custom ones.

On a G4 PowerBook running 10.5.1, the ice lizards and ice dragons seem to be graphically impaired. They appear on a white background overlayed on the tile they're on.

That's pretty much contrary to the point of the Geneforge. You did play 4 and read all the first-personal intricacies of having used it even once, yes?

Considering the distance between t and d, I'd assume he meant it German-wise. In which case, it should be 'oh my gott'. Which is germlish, it should really be 'mein gott'.

Wanton destruction is appropriate only in moderation. Move Mountains and Shatter took advantage of pre-existing damage and amplified it. There's more than enough of that in the Geneforge world, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to apply tactically. Or better yet, a disaster unique to this world: the genemodded plants, all to willing to usurp any building or clearing left alone for long enough. How about a new spell, Overgrow? Used on a section of forest, it would perhaps cause (young, breakable) trees to sprout up, barring your enemies path or even trapping them where they stand.

I went in and removed the ankle-break event, just to give her a chance. Her odds are still astronomically small and she's irrelevant in the long run, but hey. Why not?

Oh hell, it's Colicedus. Just don't suggest that he add chainsaws.

 

Now then, I'd like to see more change in towns. If a Shaper camp occupies a town, they'd logically add fortifications, defense it up. If a berserk rogue is trampling through an area, it seems to follow that things would get broken. We already know areas can change, we just need more of it.

I'd like to be able to use my incredible Shaping skills to do a little repair work here and there. Dead doors, dry essence pools... Surely a Shaper/Lifecrafter/Abrupt Plot Twist Character with enough skill could, for the price of generous amount of mana and essence (not permanently), work the creation furniture back into shape, no?

Seems odd that it wouldn't just repeat the can't-figure-this-out message like everything else. It feels incomplete.

In the sub-Ruined Hall catacombs, there is a shrine. In my wanderings, I walked up to it and was informed that though there were runes on it, I was not skilled enough to read them. Having returned with greater runic ability, no message appears on contact with the shrine. Is this a bug?

So then the second attack is the act of ripping the blade back out again.

I doubt it's a stunt. The Let's Play threads are a way of sharing our favorite games with other people, and we've got a lot of Spiderweb fans.

It wasn't me, though I get to be a cleric in it.

If anyone happens to be interested, we've got a fun thread going on the subject of Avernum and its copious joys here . It's growing in popularity, unsurprisingly.

It's like some sort of horrible poem. What's with your paragraphing?

That's really the most ungrateful reply I've heard in a long while.

I think what he's getting at is 'are Drayks pre-existing beings altered with Shaping or are they built from scratch?' to which the answer, as far as I can discern, is 'yes'.

But if Geneforge 2 should ever be updated, I for one would certainly appreciate the ability to Cmd-Tab out of it, like 3 and 4. Just a thought.

Where exactly is she? I've looked all around the locale wozzname told me to look, southarounds of the foresty bit. No luck. ._.

Somewhere to act as storage for all my things, illbegotten or otherwise. Even a shack would do, just somewhere that I can leave items safely.
