The_Other_Guy

Maybe not the appropriate place to post this, but I couldn't find a bettter one. Is there any way to change what time zone the times that appear on posts are? It's a heck of a lot easier to tell when a post was when I don't have to subtract 3 hours.

Quote: Sauerkraut, The Other Guy - you are about three months late. I just looked at the date of the last post, I hadn't realized that someone had decided to drag up his dead topic. I guess I just assumed when he said Quote: Rather than create a new thread everytime I have a question in GF 2, I'm just going to revive this one. it wasn't THAT old. I guess I should try to pay more attention in the future.

Another note on stealing, oddly enough noone seems to care if your creations steal stuff so just lock your player character in an empty room and you can have your creations rob people blind right in front of them without anyone trying to kill you. lol Doesn't work with containers though, as only your player character can open them.

I actually started playing back through the series again myself some time ago in anticipation of GF4. As always I have been playing many other games along side them and doing other activities so I'm still only halfway through GF2 at the moment, esp. since I haven't played in about a week for no apparent reason. Before I was playing it less because I was tired from getting up early for school and on the weekends work left me with little time for games. (I work 9-5 and usually go to bed at about 8 and between 5 and 8 I have to get home, eat, take my pills, get a bath, etc. and by then I don't feel like playing anything major)

Funny thing is I tend to mod my FPS's to death but I haven't touched RPG's, although this wouldn't be terribly easy on most but I'll have to start messing with GF. I'm not good with art though, so don't expect me to do anything that likely warrants posting the image. As for stuff I've actually done that's odd, I'm sure I could think of some if I weren't so tired, but all I can think of off the top of my head is triggering deadly mines then shutting the door, such as in Learned Pinner's stuff in GF2. You'd think the door would blow up.

Quote: don't even start talking about Goesstch, hes crazy even before he uses the geneforge (if you get that ending). Just out of curiosity, what exactly happened in that ending? Every time I played GF1 I killed him. After all, what use is he?

Quote: In the context of this topic question, I would define humanity as the quality of having the kind emotional and behavioral characteristics that are often described as uniquely human because they differentiate people from animals, such as empathy, compassion, mercy, and love. BINGO! Right on the mark! This is exactly what I meant.

btw Garrison in my signature while the phrase is not original, the context in Matrix helps to illustrate the point in a manner that is familiar to many people, but thanks for pointing out the origin of the phrase; it made for an interesting diversion.

By humanity I was actually talking about how they make you cruel, quick to anger, idiotically rash, etc.

If canisters were real, how many (if any) would you use?

Quote: Now I don't have a save file of G1 anymore... You could just start over and dbugkill your way up there, just make sure you deactivate the temple's hazards as Dikiyoba explained (the direction is clockwise).

Technically you could use an editor or trainer and save before every canister you use, then load and adjust the stat with the editor instead. This wouldn't make any difference in GF1, but I did this my 2nd time through GF3 in order to avoid doing stupid stuff without choosing to as a result of my canister abuse. The first time through I played as an agent and thus skipped shaping canisters, but still had negative effects later in the game. You know I'm actually playing through GF1 again myself and basically using everyone. First I joined the obeyers to get their stuff (I had high enough leadership to avoid any quests for any sects), then joined the awakened and gained their benefits, afterwards I made my way to Kazg and joined the takers and I'm still with them until I kill Trajkov and use the GF then I'll switch back to either Awakened or Obeyers. I would definately choose the Awakened except for my concern for the fate of the Sholai although don't they get killed between GF1 & GF2? (when the island is retaken or whatever)

When playing through A4, I have noticed a few contadictions. Two examples can be found here and here . Are this accidents or intentional humor do you think?

I quite like Avernum 4, but something very irritating is how enemies declare combat mode so early that you often can't even walk up to them in that turn, much less melee attack. I can just sit there and let them come to me, but I would MUCH rather not have the problem to begin with.

I decided to go back and play GF 1&2, but this time with trainers (preferably). Anyone know where to find any?
