  3. Changes to Geneforge 2 - Infestation

     

    Significant changes are in boldface type.

     

    This remake changes everything except the general story and map. Everything was revised so don't assume anything and read descriptions and instructions. There are lots of new things like Weapon Shaping to improve weapons with trainable skills. The canisters are no longer the same ones in original game locations and Jeff changed about 10% of the items so they have different bonuses.

     

    There are still the three classes: Shaper, Guardian, and Agent, but they work a little differently than any of the 5 original Geneforge games. All classes gain experience the same way with you no longer getting slightly less experience penalty for having creations or having nearby NPCs making the kills. So there is no penalty for having a large number of creations. Jeff encourages you using creations. And some fights are almost impossible as a solo character. Some places in the game you may not survive on the hardest difficulties without creations. A few expert areas require a large number of creations to deal with all the attackers or just to shield your character. It really pays to have some Leadership to recruit creations or NPCs to join you Some are better than your character at this point in the game and will make it much easier. An example is Zora in Drypeak Mines for her buffing ability, Battle Roar. Ciphar in Western Mines will kill almost everything in the Saltmarsh if you let him heal between fights by just staying in a safe area.

     

    You still do better if you specialize in your class abilities because it costs less skill points. Costs per level will rise as you gain levels in an ability or skill. So eventually even in your strong class skills the cost will require more than one experience level to gain a new level in a skill.

     

    Besides 4 new zones (Everfrost Mine is two complete levels), you have little extra levels within a zone like below ground storage in Drypeak .

     

    One major change is your to hit chance is based on your character’s level and modified by armor penalties. Skills in the attack type and relevant related attributes like strength, agility, or intellect no longer improve your to hit chance. Instead they give a bonus percent increase in damage or duration. You still increase damage as you gain levels.

     

    Resistances are from armor and items with a hefty mental resistance bonus at the start (50%). Armor and resistance are capped at 90%. Armor now works like Queen’s Wish in that each piece has a physical and a magical value.

     

    Casting the lowest spell in each category no longer needs that magic skill: firebolt,, war blessing, and heal.

     

    No more action point increasing items or spells. Maximum 8 action points per round and you can get more than two attacks per round due to Spell Mastery reducing action point cost..

     

    Please remember to use the “t” command to turn on the text console at the screen’s bottom to see messages about damage, to hit chance when you miss, and other useful information.

    Weapon Shaping

     

    Skill required is combined melee and missile training skills .

     

    Guardians get trained by Shanti in Guarded Lunge

     

    The first three skills can be trained in Drypeak Warrens.  Brodus Blade in East Medab teaches first five.

     

    The first two buff your character while damaging your target. Very useful for beginning agents and guardians when they do better with physical weapons for damage.

     

    Guarded Lunge - Skill 1 - does 25% more damage, shield (2 turns per level), target is vulnerable (2 turns per level) - damage bonus +10% per level of skill

    War Infusion - Skill 2 - bless and speed PC when target at enemy (4 ruins per level)

    Guardian Push - Skill 3 - - knock back 3 spaces and chance of slow (+10%) for 3 turns, Stun (+10%) 1 turn

    Lifedrain - drains some damage to heal you (20% of damage)

    Chain Lightning - Skill 5 - Does decreasing energy damage to nearby foes (5 spaces apart) and on harder difficulties will hit your creations  and friendly NPCs. Each level adds 15% bonus damage.

    Searing Spray - Skill 6 - Sprays acid in 3 space radius around target and can last for many rounds.

    Essence Lash - Energy damage and wrack on target. Base 30%Shock for 3 turns at level 2.  increase in damage and each additional level increases it 15%.

    Guardian Roar - Skill  - Terror

     

     

    The basics stats are Strength, Agility, Intellect, and Endurance have been clarified with Essence Mastery added to separate Spell Energy from Essence. So Shapers want more Essence Mastery to have more essence for Shaping Creations, Guardians want Strength or Agility depending upon whether they are melee or missile fighters, and Agents want Intellect for more spell Energy for spells.

     

    Attack skills: Melee Weapons, Missile Weapons, and Battle Magic do +8% more damage per level over base damage. For physical weapons Quick Action can also reduce action point costs and Spellcraft does the same for spells. This means you have a chance after acting to get a second action.

     

    Evasion reduces the chance of a foe making a single target attack from hitting you. It doesn't affect area of effect attacks.

     

    Shaping skills are really different in that when you increase a level in the appropriate Shaping skill or gain a level in that creation type, an existing creation automatically goes up a level. No more need to compare an existing creation with a new creation to decide which is better. You now have greater control over designing your creation at a cost of extra essence you can improve strength, agility, endurance and give your creation an extra level up to 5 levels over a basic creation, and special attacks for each creation type. You can add on extra active attacks like area of effects or leaps, and passive abilities like haste or spines. Active abilities have cool down periods before you can use them again. You can also add these abilities later to existing creations when you have more essence. You still need to absorb and create when you want to remove them.

     

    Leadership when high enough will give you additional dialogue options that can give you experience and avoid fights or doing quests to join a faction. Picking the peaceful resolution through leadership means you will no longer get experience by killing creations. Some places fighting will give you more experience and let you get to loot. Other places the leadership option is better for experience or avoiding a major fight. The most used in game is 10. Leadership now adds to your ability to control creations so they don’t go rogue from taking damage.

     

    Mechanics still means using less living tools to open doors and containers. You now get experience points for opening things and disarming some traps. You also now click on a simple yes/no instead of each individual living tool. The most for a trap is 12 and you can get by with significantly less. Mechanics 6 and Tinker’s Gloves for +2, Infiltrator’s Vest for +1, Infiltrator’s Cloak for +1, and Infiltrator’s Ring for +2 will work well if you don’t mind fighting the few box mines that summon monsters, a few traps, and not being able tp activate some power spirals.

     

    Stealth has replaced Luck. It helps to avoid fights by letting you sneak around foes to cross a zone without fighting. Some zones will only be cleared to cross freely by killing things. So if you want to go through them on the World Map you need to at least meet the killing condition or sneak through each time. The time between checks to see if creations notice you decreases with difficulty level. Some creations can allow you to pass closer than others before they react especially if you are both in motion. Jeff made pylons more difficult to encourage stealth to get past them. Stealth doesn’t help as much with a large party of creations.

     

    Shaping creations now allows you more customization to give them things that your foes have. Remember when you absorb a creation to go back to a town or an essence pool.to get essence back. Also if creations get damaged you may lose control of them and they briefly get charmed status where they attack your party.

     

    You can train in Weapon Shaping and the combination of your levels in melee and missile training skills will let you use more of them. Each one uses spell energy and essence so you are limited in how often you can use them when starting out. Really useful to guardians and agents.

     

     

    Character Building

     

    Jeff said it is possible to build a character that can’t complete the game so remember there is a cheat code to change where you used you skill points. Type shift and d, then enter “retrain” in the box that appears. This will let you fix building mistakes. You won’t lose points from canisters, books, and bought from trainers.

     

    The easiest build is a Shaper with lots of creations. Pick a Shaping type and Essence Mastery for most of your skill points and let your creations do the fighting for you. Individually they won’t do as much damage as a Guardian or an Agent, but with 4 or more of them they will do more and most have area effect attacks. Higher tier creations will do more damage, but the essence costs will mean fewer of them,

     

    A Guardian will do plenty of damage and Evasion will help avoid single target attacks. However he does physical damage so you need creations. Certain weapons,  or Weapon Shaping for magical damage. Also switching between a spray baton for area damage and another range attack will use up 4 action points. Some missile weapon skill is recommended since there are more unstable creations that explode doing damage when they die.

     

    An Agent starts off weak, but after about 6 zones will do plenty of magical damage. Weak on making creations, you will rely on spells and physical attacks against some foes. The advantage is no wasted action points when shifting attack types. Raising Battle Magic and Spellcraft for almost all of your skill points. Also in the beginning rely on sword, javelins, and batons to do more damage than you spells.

     

    For all characters the following applies for non combat skills.

     

    The maximum Leadership needed in the game is 10 and Girdle of Leadership gives +2 and Infiltrator’s Ring give +2. You can easily get by with less.  I found getting 6 will give you almost all extra dialogue options until near the end game Taker Lands.

     

    The highest trap is Mechanics 12. You can get through the game with much less and there are plenty of living tools available to open harder doors and containers.

     

    Stealth is helpful, but not needed unless you want to do the Pacifist Challenge or avoid some fights.  It’s best to avoid monsters and slipping by mines if you lack the mechanics to disarm them.

     

     

    Combat

     

    Combat is essentially the same except you may get extra actions with enough Quick Action or Spellcraft. Speed gives a 35% greeter chance of being hasted and using less action points. Also even on torment difficulty monsters do less damage per attack and there are few that can kill in one shot. However this game is easier with having creations and harder to play as a solo character at harder difficulties.

     

    Use the most damaging attack when possible. Since your to hit chance will usually be the same it pays to compare between weapons and spell damage against the enemy’s armor and resistances. You can right click on an enemy to see health, armor, resistances, and status effects. For instance in the Shaper Lands, javelins usually do more damage than firebolt against the fyora.

     

    Basic attacks now get a 3% bonus to hit per level of the weapon you are using. Melee/missile characters should not have huge missing problems. Jeff improved the item level of higher end batons and high quality magic weapons to make them more competitive with the canister-related swords.

     

    The game is programed to be much smarter in fighting. Pick off a foe on the edge of a group will usually cause the others to come after you instead of ignoring the attack.

     

    Switching between melee and missile attacks costs 1 action points, Swapping a weapon from your backpack costs 4 action points. Using a pod, spores, or wand uses 5 action points. You never know in advance when you will get to use fewer action points from Quick Action or Haste.

     

    Increasing the game difficulty level to Veteran gives creation foes 2 extra abilities and at Torment gives them all 4 extra abilities. Some of these extra abilities make the fights significantly harder. However you can get most of them for your own creations.

     

    Cure Affliction only uses 6 action points and now removes mental effects in addition to poison and acid. It can be used to regain control of a rogue creation that has Charm status.

     

    Monsters respawn in some zones so don’t assume even if you cleared a zone that it is completely safe to wander around wounded. The upside is that if you are near leveling up that you can find a few creations for those needed experience points.

     

    Monsters heal if given enough time or you move away from them and end combat, so don’t give them the chance.

     

    Weapons have changed:

    Acid baton is now Tranquil baton and does slow for 3 rounds.

    Submission baton is now Spray baton and does a cone area of effect of physical damage. However it needs to be targeted on a foe.

    Crystals and wands no longer get missile weapons’ bonus and their effects are different. However they have a better chance of hitting. Icy does a cone of physical damage, spray does a circular area of acid for 3 rounds, airshock is a circular area energy damage with stun for 1 round, blast does a circular area of effect of fire damage.

    Wands now remain in your backpack and act like crystals.

     

    Armor, meaning chitin, chain mail vest, and breastplates, all give stun resistance at the cost of lower to hit chances for the better armors.

    Robes give more magical armor and less physical armor and give hostile effects resistance to non-physical attacks.

     

    Mental attacks are very useful when they work. Daze will prevent them from attacking until they are damaged. Wrack will reduce their to hit chance by 15% and give a chance that they will lose a turn. Terror works best when they can’t flee out of your attack range so you can kill them while they are too terrified to fight back. Dominate will let you charm a foe to fight for you and make your enemies attack them instead of you.

     

    Gloves of Spell Mastery is a new item where you have a 20% chance to still have 1 action point left so you can do another attack. Sometimes if all you cast are spells, you can get 4 attacks in a round.

     

     

    Creations

     

    Fire Shaping tends to be the best Shaping type both because you can find canister and codex for fyoras early in the game and all fire creations have range attacks. There are decent area effect attacks and the roamer’s Fiery Wind doesn’t harm your party on higher game difficulties. Average health, but some can get hardiness against damage. They also have cheaper essence cost for base and upgrades.

     

    Battle Shaping creations have higher health, but some lack range attacks. They act more like melee Guardians in combat, but can get nice extra abilities. This is the only one where all 4 tiers can be learned without joining a faction at Loyalist Camp.

     

    Magic Shaping creations have the worst health, but better base resistances to damage. Some have the ability to buff the party and curse your foes. Glaahks have nice area effect attacks like terror and shockwave (stun). These creations work well, but cost more than Fire Shaping, however you can take advantage of searing artila using innate haste and no cool down period between special attacks.to spam acid attacks for extra damage on later rounds The gazer and eybeast have an area attack that won’t harm your party even on torment difficulty. Also they have some really nasty passive attacks that you will hate when used against you.

     

     

    Junk Bag

     

    You can remove items from the Junk Bag only in town so be careful on using it if you might want an item or removing it before sell all to a merchant. Store items in your backpack where it doesn't count towards your weight limit for encumbrance. Or consider dropping extra items for later in a cleared zone. Also items with no value will usually sell if you sell all from the junk bag.

     

    Items that can stack will stack automatically in the junk bag.

     

     

    Selling

     

    You get one sixth the value of an item when selling it. When items stack, make sure the item's value divides evenly by 6 to get maximum value. More items have no value than previous games. There are lots of things that are only worth 1, but drop them in the Junk Bag because it all adds up. Also this I a closed economy so the shops will run out of money before you buy what you want in training. Sell enough and you can drain all the shops of their money.

     

    Money is capped at 30000.

     

     

    Training

     

    You start with one level in firebolt, minor heal, and create fyota. Shanti will teach you one level in a spell or skill at the end of the first zone. Agents get daze, shapers get create thad, and guardians get guarded lunge.

     

    You can only buy a maximum of 2 levels from training. It doesn’t matter what order you buy or read a codex or canister to gain a level.

     

     

    Experience, Codexes and Canisters

     

    You get less experience points (XP) as you gain levels compared to the monster's level and expected quest level. Quests usually give the most experience. Eventually the Shaper Inner Crypt is the only place where you might get experience killing creations.

     

    Unlocking a door or container instead of using an area key gives experience even using living tools, Disarming some traps gives experience. Unless you never get any Mechanics, there are plenty of living tools in the game. The highest trap is 10.

     

    There is no experience fo disarming box mine traps or killing their summons.

     

    The first time you read a specific Codex or use a creation canister you get 25 XP regardless of level. So when you are near leveling up make sure you complete quests first. Or wait until the end game to use them to maximize their value

     

    Spawner made creations give no experience.

     

    Box mines being disarmed or killing their summoned creations gives no experience.

     

    You get no experience for killing livestock, peasants,  some people in towns and zones, and creations in a few places like Kantre’s Realm. Since most also don’t have loot, consider not killing everything that moves.

     

    If you use a leadership option to avoid a fight, you won’t get experience if you kill them later.

     

    You get 10 skill points per level. The game seems to be capped at 25 levels just because you run out things that will give you experience. I got to level 24 with holding off on turning in Bars of Iron quest until level 22. There are 14 Codex to be read at 25 Xp for 350  XP.  s a Barzite you can get over 1000 XP turning in Shaper Records in Gheth. This can put you almost to level 24.

    Misc.

     

    Thorn bushes always provide the same thorn type in all games..

     

    Depending upon how much you turned up your monitor’s brightness, using lanterns and candles may improve seeing in the dark.

     

    Food now takes a long time between being used for healing so don’t carry much with you. However wine now heals damage. :)

     

    Use consumable items and don’t worry about money since you don’t have much to spend it on in the game.

     

    It’s harder to bankrupt the economy by getting every last coin because there are fewer sellable items. You can do it by selling off named items that you don’t plan to use.

     

    Pylons work different than earlier games.  :)

  4. You get 25 XP  (experience) the first time you read information codexes or train/learn a creation type. Some of the information codexes are found in two locations.

  5. "Trust the thief, he's in our party."

     

    I played with parties like that and if we ween't actively fighting something else we could be at least pranking each other if not killing members played by people we didn't like in the real world.. There's nothing like an elf mage using wishes to cast permeant fairy fire to outline other party members until the game master reminded him on the aging effects. Or when a lich attacked at night, yelling out his teleport spell was his way of waking up the sleeping party member who didn't wake up in time. Killing off party members as a source of loot.

     

    I understand.

  6. The 90% cap on resistances makes it impossible to avoid all mental/curse effects so look at your numbers and hope you don't get unlucky. I've run singletons through the remakes and just hope to avoid those problems especially when you get swarmed and pinned in place.

     

    There is no best build or equipment choices so pick what works best with your playing style. If you aren't having troubles than stick with it.

     

    Edit - 

     

    Singleton discussion from my play throughs. I'd have to locate my old save games to look at equipment, but I tended to go with heavy armor and ones to boost action point chances and spell energy.

  7. You need to talk to several people. Turn in evidence to Berra in the library, then talk to Anaximander in his office about the quest and make sure he tells you to see Levy about a reward, and finally talk to Levy. You may have to go through several dialogue options to find the one about a reward for each one.

     

    The difference between Exile and Avernum was the addition of sdf (stuff done flag) that requires each step being done before being able to go to the next. Exile let you skip steps if you knew the right keyword from a previous play through.

  8. GF1 Awaken have an idealized view of Shapers based on a few memories of the more enlightened ones working on the first Geneforge. By the time of GF2 the Awaken have had dealings with Shapers and started to realize that they aren't that nice. Especially after the "war" started with the Baezites that want all power to only Shapers and have no respect for creations. Now without an idealized view, the Awakened have taken some of the Taker view that they have to defend themselves from Shapers and have created the Barrier of Wind to protect themselves so they can live free with sympathetic Shapers.

     

    Gf2 Takers are more realistic and have allied with the drayks and drakons against all Shapers and threats. They now can learn magic without the crazed cultists from such Islands. You see the start of the war coming in GF3 and how they will achieve it with more powerful creations. They also see the mistakes they made with gazers and not was trusting of them as Barzites.

     

    The Barzites are mad with power. They see the war coming with the Shaper Council and Takers and are building up their forces to takeover. Making Commons into Shapers without proper training has resulted in a surge of rogue creations. Trying to find machines to control huge numbers of creations since they don't have enough real Shapers handle their own problems. Given long enough they would fight amongst themselves as the madness requires each to want to take control.

  9. There is a point where only named NPCs give over 20 XP and a few guards will still give 2 XP. Even Gaza-Uss has the respawning creations no longer give experience, but I don't know if that was because of my level or they just don't because f the type.

     

    The jump of waiting and turning them in near the end is getting a boost In to hit chance and making it easier to do Gaza-Uss boss fights. Jeff kept tweaking the last few fights up and down in hardness almost every beta. 

     

    You can enter Benerii-Uss and not make the Takers hostile if you go through the Power and make sure not to meet the three drayks that run it. After clearing out the minions you are at the point to turn in bars of iron to make the rest easier.

    Iron Bar and Shaper Equipment XP is level-based, so that's not worth holding onto.

     

    Shaper Records, curiously, are not level based and give a flat 10 XP. And I think you can get around 200 of them. Downside is you can't turn them in unless you join the Barzites.

    Iron Bar is not level-based, and I just checked the latest beta. You can gain over a level worth of experience by waiting until late in the Taker Lands since there are over 300 bars.

     

    Shaper Equipment should be turned in until reaching near the 30 needed for the quest for the experience. After that save them since they are worth more for the quest than selling elsewhere. You can get over 3000 coins for them later in the game to use for buying training and sell the rest anywhere if you anger Medab.

     

    Only saw a little over 120 Shaper Records even with buying up from merchants. Still Barzites offer plenty of advantages with canisters that you can't get elsewhere since there is a restricted area only available to members in Rising.

    I wish the demo was a bit longer... I think the original G2 demo had the full valley?

    The original game demo was 24 zones so most of the Awakened Lands and all the Shaper Lands.

  11. It depends upon difficulty level, but on torment, magic shaping edges out fire because tier 4 creations don't affect your party whereas fire creations still do. Still like magic for the early acid attacks even if fire is cheaper cost. Battle shaping is better than in Mutagen even without war thralls doing range attacks.

     

    Guardians are finally much improved with area effect weapon shaping. You still can't do as much damage as an agent, but you are more likely to survive during a long fight with more health and evasion. You don't even need creations except for two fights that involve a new ability given to certain magic creations.
