How was G1 the peak? The shaping still had level caps and guardians and agents could get the same levels over and over. (I.E. A guardian could get 3 QA and 3 Anatomy), I thought, if anything, G5's broken clawbugs which could own on torment with AI.

Damn straight. Those Thahds where beast. Same with Alphas, never liked the animation for then eva since.

1 hour 30 minutes g1. Protected docks FTW

OK, I admit, Sharon is probably the only NPC in four play-throughs that I never killed so I can definitely see her surviving (common, you can't kill Sharon, she helps you non-stop and gives you the best bracelet ever). I can't see Sharon shaping herself in her old age though. Maybe ... Maybe agent Mouawad from GF4..she was on the council..back when there were 9 council members. Alright, you've clearly got things messed up. Here are the most likely people it could have been, from each game. G1 - Brodus Blade G2 - Sharon G3 - Lankan G4 - Pol *spits* POL?! Your a funny man. And remind me, who is Brodus Blade?

Don't speak of G3 to me.

Anyway, the reason I said it was a low time for shaping was because this was the first time I felt melee could actually be good without shaping. I tried G1 with a non Shaping Guardian and epically phailed. G4's new servile + gloves of savagery let us melee users rise to power, so naturally, my servile could get out of the ass levels in Melee with enough magic to get all the buffs. It was beautiful. Now with Speed being made WORTHLESS, Serviles and such are having a harder time. Now the aura system I am okay with, but I really think speed should of been the same, except less powerful. (I.E giving 3 speed instead of 4) and now with the uprising of Battle Creations, we Servile players have no where to turn to. Except black skin greaves and assassin boots.

Lower time, per se. Serviles could not exist and still be good in the previous Geneforges.

Bul- Wait, that could of actually happened. But its Jeff, the past PC's have no affect and are never mentioned again.

....Agent, even with a stick, they have a giant, blue, shimmering, glowey blade. It is pretty. Its why I always have blue babes when I play Avernum.

Okay, as we all know, Geneforge 4 was a low time for Shaping and a slightly weakened time for the Agent. Now with G5 out, it was time to balance the tables. Give a little to shaping, get a little from Melee. A little. A. Little. Not a rocket launcher made of nerf. Letsa take a look at the Servile, shall ve? First problem is the fact that now Serviles have to stay away from battle magic, since it has been downgraded so that even Agents have to use some mental magic to stun then pea-shoot. So using battle magic with Serviles is like to dissolve a brick using spit. Secondly, maybe its just because I never used daze in G4, but is it just me or can even a Servile just daze and pick off enemies one by one? Even humans fell to my daze spell. I can only imagine what an agent could do with it. After exiting the Astoria place, (forgot the name at the moment.) with my newly equipped Level 15 Servile, I felt pretty good, and that my Servile would start becoming more and more efficient. I was wrong. Even with his good stats and great equipment, the bugger wasn't doing so hot. After a little bit of frustration and boredom I decided to make a battle shaping shaper for the heck of it, having heard that the battle shaping is now actually respectable. My result was pure awesomeness. Even with Thadds, my shaper was deadly. And I could still use daze and a little bit of battle magic. I started to think that this might just be a beginners boost, something to keep you on your feet. But when I got to Astoria, and got me revved up Clawbugs and equipment, AT LEVEL 9 and was beating the crap out of things on a higher difficulty. Something in that picture is wrong. This was my first shaper attempt and I have been using Serviles and Guardians throughout Geneforge, now I have not tried the Agent or Warrior yet, due to me not having access to the computer which holds the game. Anybody else feel the same way?

I have always wondered why Jeff did Avernum, which is a new Exile, basically, when he could of done Geneforge. And can someone remind me why he almost lost the business?

And the fact that Apple is scum.

I stick to slight variations of commonly used fantasy names.

How come no one has said DV from G5?

....German grandmas! Ahem* Lets hope that when G5 comes out for windows that a debate hasn't started yet.

I think that if this way true for all G4 playthroughs/walkthroughs, we would have noticed it before. I am inclined to say that there is something wrong with the files that is unique.

Gah! Frustrating..... StarCraft 2 better come out at the same time for both Mac and PC.

I feel honored. 2 weeks, that was a nice break.

You can even make it shoot ghaalks.

I am still amazed that people haven't grammar nazied your arse yet. Anyway, on topic, clearly, the janitor glaakk, being the most powerful and efficient creation, should be voted on the top, a long with run on sentences made possible by commas.
