I am new to the boards; but, a Jeff Vogel and GeneForge fan since the days of Goettsch and the Sholai.
I've only recently acquired my copy of GF4 and, as expected, it is quite the game. It's not too often that one is presented with a great storyline. As some earlier comments (and other threads) have indicated, politics, moral issues, ethics; real world issues, etc.
Pick your characters, issues, and poison; the GeneForge series is far from over. Great job to all involved.
