Spawner graphics: G1 vs G3
Nick Ringer replied to Student of Trinity's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
So those of us who wanted the Possessed Carrot graphic; do you want long slimy tentacles? I always imagined something more like an anemone. -

So you could call a canister addict "jarhead?" It's like, a pun, a war allusion, and it makes sense. -

Learned Darian Speculation
Nick Ringer replied to Mr.Bookworm's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
There were lots of pronoun discrepencies. Don't worry about it. I think Trace, in Rising, in GF2, was one of those referred to be both "he" and "she." And yeah, Learned Darian needs to die. Maybe (s)he'll have some remaining followers? -

how can i reactivate the cheats to geneforge 2
Nick Ringer replied to Evilmajora's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
I think I remember reading that you can't reverse the disabling of the cheats. But I may be wrong. Either way, if you reinstall the game, it should work out. Back up your save files, if you want. Can't see why yo disabled it to begin with, though ... -
Spawner graphics: G1 vs G3
Nick Ringer replied to Student of Trinity's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
If there's a new spawner graphic, it should have tentacles. I'm thinking, ditch the past description of tentacles out the top, and use the barfing stump with some tentacles randomly coming out of it. If anyone has seen Dikiyoba's Slime Beast , something like that. [EDIT] Okay I'm thinking that, even though the games say the spawners manipulated essence to shape, I'm thinking a tentacled one would be best. ... Bam. -

I have wished many times to have a long robe. Not a jacket like "The Matrix" followers would wear, not a trenchcoat. A Shaper cloak. -
A Few More Advance Words On Geneforge 4
Nick Ringer replied to Spidweb's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
I think I'm drunk. I don't like being able to just create Ur-Drakons when it takes years of research to create a pool to transform just one existing powerful Drakon. In fact I think Drakons should be removed altogether. [EDIT] I mean, removed from the PC being able to SHAPE THEM. they're their own race. -

What got me is that in GF3 the textual description includes tentacles. But the barfing stump (I love that term) doesn't have any! ... what about the new thahd? I kind of like it, just a bit too spotted for me though. -

What did I mean when I said "nother?" I mean, I know what I meant. But why in Terrestria did I type "nother?" -

Well I didn't mean "disappointed" in the sense that I didn't like the games. Just that, what I predicted was false. -

It's when your hallucinatons include serviles that you know something is wrong. ... I have visual hallucinations, but they're typically just lights and movements. Sometimes people. Nother from Geneforge (yet). -
Should you get Geneforge 3, continue selling both gold and silver rings -- just keep the platinum ones. I reveal nothing else.

I have God Powers? -GF2-
Nick Ringer replied to MagmaDragoon's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
Jesus had a helmet? Interesting buggy area, I guess. Only other instance I know of is Pinner's "escape zone" area. -

Quote: Originally written by Zeviz: Or, in an even more bizzare twist, the player character from Gf3 could be the final boss of Gf4. Another boss could be a Geneforge-using player character from Gf1, who went off to make his own kingdom somewhere, but could get involved in larger politics again. I had imagined the PC's of previous games being NPC's of subsequent games. I was disappointed twice. -

A Few More Advance Words On Geneforge 4
Nick Ringer replied to Spidweb's topic in Geneforge Series - Originals
Quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: But what I really want is some explanation, however sketchy, of why some creations get cooked up in vats but others materialize out of thin air (like mine). It has been bugging me for three games, now, that I keep walking through all these fine, spooky shaper labs full of vats and summoning platforms and spawners, and yet I don't seem to need any such paraphernalia to make my own creations. So why all the labs and equipment? I've been imagining my own explanations, but I'd like to have an official one. Especially if it ended up playing some role in a plot. I think Golems and other hybrid creations need materials, combined with essence. The vats of glaahk parts and stuff are for studying. The Shaping labs are basically essence sources. And the first Geneforge, I think in the second area, mentions that the round stone platforms are only there to make shaping more convenient. What I don't understand is how Shapers can keep essence in their bodies. For a long time I thought essence was just a form of magic/energy. Then in GF3 we're told that it's a mixture of chemicals, magically charged good, and partially living flesh. Maybe the word "essence" refers to the fluid as well as the energy? -

As long as we're talking about Animal Farm, can we have Ornk playing cards and gambling with humans at the end? -

Good observations by Delicious Vlish ... Dominate could be a lesser-lasting spell, perhaps? Takes 2 turns to cast maybe. And lasts just 5. Less dependant on skill. -

I personally like insurmountable enemies. Perhaps someone you meet at the beginning and really want to kill, but there's no way you could. Also, the multiple-stage battles were very cool. Like Litalia doing her "Akhari! Take me!" the first time you beat her down. I've never really had to make the choice between battle and diplomacy; I'm glad that's better-defined. Usually I was able to break all the doors and traps, talk everyone into submission, then go back just to kill everything that moves. Lots of experience, never had to choose one path. -
A Few Advance Notes On Geneforge 4

There have only been a FEW notes by Jeff himself. Fortunately, he (in my opinion, correctly) predicted that more people would read further comments if he made a new thread, which he did. -

Quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Sholai are human, though. They aren't the same ethnicity as the Shapers, but they are human. Dikiyoba. That was my assumption. Besides, can you think of four other classes? Let us speculate: - Servile (good at infiltration?) - Outsider (Villager or whatever) - Sholai (Sailor, I guess as to Shaper) - Warrior (as to Guardian) - Mage (as to Agent) -

I sympathize with the food poisoning most of all. I once had it, really, really bad. Unable to throw up for four days of nauseating agony, spent trying to induce puking as I knelt before the god of porcelain. Eventually lost consciousness and vomited my [expletive left to imagination of reader] brains out in a stupor. Love quests that lead to more quests. Oooh, how I hope Sholai are playable! ... this calls for a celebration. A canister, please, Igor. (EDIT) Can there be animations of canister use? or unlocking things? Oh, please? I'll do the animation myself and everything ... I'm good with cartooning and 3D modelling!
