The problems of playing as Danette are: 1. You would be forced to play as a Shaper. 2. You would have to be a Loyalist. 3. Nothing to fight. The island isn't overrun by rogues. 4. If you played GF1, you probably have a pretty good idea of what happened, therefore, no new suprises. 5. You would start out very powerful. 6. There's the part about you dying... 7. Can't choose your own name. 8. No Rothgroths, Gazers, and other, newer creations. 9. You would start out as the Big Cheese. The boss, for those of you unfamiliar with English. 10. No "canister finding" element. They would all just be in a big lab. 11. Drayks are legal creations. 12. You would have to play as a woman. 13. The missions would probably end up as, fetch x of this, fetch y of that. 14. Lots of people know Sucia Island like the back of their hand.

I really can't figure out how Darian isn't dead. Think about it. In GF1 she lived alone with only a life-eating drayk for company. In GF2, she had her own little sanctuary. However, it seems that GF3 is based on the Loyalist ending, so why wasn't she killed in the attack? The Council surely would've killed her if they had met her. In GF3, it seems like a miracle that she's not dead. She's wandering around a dangerous research facility, populated by pylons, Rothgroths, and other nasty critters. If you chose to kill her however, you see that she has less than 100 HP.

Remember old Darian? The Servile who could chang the entire world's opinion of you? Well, she's popped up in all 3 Geneforges, so it's not to wrong to assume she'll be in GF4 to. So. Where do you think think she'll show up next? Just for a brief recap. In G1, she showed up in a cave, living by herself. In G2, she showed up in her own little sancutary for Serviles. In G3, she showed up in a dangerous, abandoned, lab.

31: When you're lying on your death bed, you tell your kids/grandkids to tell people that you got the right ending. 32: Whenever you get on a boat, you stare of into the distance and mutter vague things/threats about blown up boats, chainsaws, JV's head.

Quote: Originally written by Nick Ringer: That makes me get a mental image of apprentices in Shaper School going "out back" and using some canisters. Right under those signs, as a vague gesture of adolescent rebellion, of course.

Translated for folks who either can't read, don't have a mirror handy, or just can't be bothered to read backwards. "If using a Macintosh, throw away the "Geneforge 2 Prefs" file in the Preferences folder. If using Windows, delete the GF2Prefs.dat file in the Geneforge Data folder. Please note that if you have registered the game, this might unregister it." I don't get the point of putting that whole thing backwards.

SPOILER-----------------------------------------------------------------The worst ending you could get in G2 was the canister-using unaligned ending. Basically, you just die.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SPOILER EDIT: The Takers and Barzites are both fine and happy to let you do canisters. The Awakened are a little iffy, but otherwise alright. The Shapers are the only ones who have problems with you using canisters. EDIT2: By the way, has anyone ever gotten the non-canister using Barzite ending?[/QB] Spoiler---------------------EDIT3: Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Shapers execute you in the canister-using unaligned ending? That's what I meant by dying.-------------------Spoiler

Whups. Anyway, is it even possible to overGeneforge? EDIT: It was just very... random. And please don't make a joke involving my sanity, doors, and fluffy turtles.

Quote: Originally written by Michael Pearson: There's a bit of an population expansion policy going on down here in .au, amid fears that we'll have a balloon of retirees and no youngins to support them in twenty years time. One of the recent campaigns is: Have three children. One for Mum, One for Dad, and One for Australia. So these days whenever I summon my third creation, he's "for Australia". Uh, Michael, this thread is about one man's fierce, epic struggle with Geneforge-related dementia. That said, why isn't it "One For Austraila" instead of "for Austraila"? EDIT: Play till' your body crumbles into dust and you're reanimated as an Agent Specter.

25. When you threaten to absorb a waiter's leg if they don't serve faster. 26. You absorb the leg anyway. 27: When you fly to Indonesia and start shooting "Drayks".

21. When your beloved hamster/rabbit/gerbil dies, you expect to see a puddle of blood and 5 coins. 22. You start telling people that you've just used a bad canister when you have sunburn.

If you wish to learn how to speak in third-person, Noddy, I suggest speaking to Dikiyoba.

That would be a nice little Easter Egg area... The 4 Create Ornk canisters you need to create the Gornk(God of Ornks) would each be guarded in caverns by the Tornk(Terror Ornk), the Wornk(War Ornk), and the Pornk(Plague Ornk). After you killed one of these ornks, in you acquire a Ornk Key. After collecting all three, you would be able to access the small building in the center of the map, where you would face off against Napolean, the Big Pork, his 9 trained Huge Roamers, several Humans(armed with Shaped Lances and Aura of Flames), and Shapers(I'm sure you don't need an explanation as to what they could do). After you beat them, you would get the 4th Create Ornk canister, and the choice between 5 "Ornk Items". Either: the Ornkbone Claymore, the Ornkskin Slippers, the Ornkmeat Charm, the All-Ornk Protecter, and the Ornksteel Gauntlets. Table of Ornk Items: Ornkbone Claymore- (60-200 damage), +2 to all Primary Stats Ornkskin Slippers- +80% Armor, +4 to Dextirity, Parry, and QA Ornkmeat Charm- +2 to EVERY stat All-Ornk Protecter- +100% Armor, +4 to Endurance and Str. Ornksteel Gauntlets- +75% Armor, +5 to Lead., Mech. and Magic Skills Table of Boss Ornks: Tornk: Can cast all spells and inflicts Terror in melee. Wornk: Can cast Strong Daze. Has 12 AP. 100-300 damage Pornk: Inflicts every kind of status ailment every turn. Napolean: Has combined powers of all the other Boss Ornks NOTE: Within this area, you can find a cavern with the rebel creations. They are led by Snowball, Ornk of the People.They are very willing to help you if you treat them nice... NOTE2: A side quest is to rescue the Battle Alpha named Boxer from death at the Armor Factory. NOTE3: You can go buy some very nice Spells, Canisters, Armor, and Weapons from the Drakon youth Moses Blaze. They even say, for the right price, he'll tell you some very interesting information... NOTE4: I have way to much time on my hands. EDIT: The Ornk "tree" would look something like this: 1- Ornk-Same thing as the last 3 games. 2- Battle Ornk-A blue Ornk with 10 AP and increased stats 3- Ur-Ornk- A insanely powerful red Ornk. 4- Gornk (God of Ornks)-Can kill a Drakon in 2 hits. Gold colored.

Quote: Originally written by Geneforge_Fan: About Geneforge 4, do you find out what is behind the sealed stone door from Geneforge 2? Or do you find that out in Geneforge 3? I don't have the full version of Geneforge 3, so I can't find out for myself. Tidied up a bit... Yes, you find out in Geneforge 3. Unfortunately, it's a plain old Drakon. His name is Lord Ghaldring. He's mentioned numerous times in Geneforge 3.

Dakro? So uninventive... But really, now that you're playing as a Human/Servile maybe Leadership really will represent leadership... Also, on the same subject I think in the GF games where you play as a Shaper, "Leadership" should be replaced with "Authority" or some such thing, because that better represents Shapers.

I would advise seeking professional help and deleting Geneforge from your computer.

Besides Dominate, what about Aura of Flames? If enemies are in groups, that means they're all clustered together. Perfect fodder for Aura of Flames. Edit: Whoops. Must have clicked twice.

Quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Trajkov's revenge would be a good sort of epilogue for the series, I feel. Probably won't happen though. The epilogue will probably be up to you, the player. As always.

Ooookay, so the Sholai won't be a character type.

Quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Sholai are human, though. They aren't the same ethnicity as the Shapers, but they are human. Good point. I think there will be three classes that replace Shaper (Good at shaping, decent at magic, bad in combat), Guardian (Good at combat, decent in shaping, and bad in magic), and Agent (Good at Magic, decent in combat, and bad in shaping) but what about the other two? Maybe... a Sorcerer (Great at magic, decent at shaping, bad at combat) and a Servile(Good at combat, decent at magic,bad in shaping). Any of these could be a Sholai (except for Servile). Chart of My Class Predictions: Researcher (Good at shaping, decent at magic, bad in combat) Warrior (Good at combat, decent in shaping, and bad in magic) Assassin (Good at Magic, decent in combat, and bad in shaping) Sorcerer (Great at magic, decent at shaping, bad at combat) Servile (Good at combat, decent at magic, bad in shaping) Would actually affect gameplay and dialouge (e.g. People treat you with contempt or, you can't join the Loyalists). All of the human four could possibly be a Sholai.

Quote: Originally written by Spidweb: There are five basic rebel character types. Four of them are human. Unfortunately, that means no Sholai. Jeff has already said you will be able to play as a Servile, so the one remaining class must be a Servile.

7 Eyebeasts. You could walk into a town kill everyone in it , and not lose a single health point. Of course, this would take a MASSIVE amount of essence.
