Oh wait, we were deciding based on.. uh, effectiveness and stuff?

Fyora. First creation I ever got to make when I started playing the Geneforge series. A traveling buddy who was almost as handsome as me... Good times

I took something like 8k from one mine, when you add the actual damage and damage resisted together.

Also, not all worms are shaped, are they? At least, not in the older ones. Please correct if wrong.. And what about those ones in G5 that you can't make, patchwork I think they are called? Sounds to me like they were a failed rushed experiment that turned out to be useful, but I never looked into it.

Assume you helped the rebels, and you were sent to fight in the mainland. But because of the part you already played, you are given the honor of being shaped before your mission, and you also began/have been using canisters till the day your mind cracks. I think that does make some sense, since it doesn't specify WHERE you were sent to fight, and you obviously helped the drakons previously. Or were a crazy powerful shaper who decided to make his own Geneforge. Which also kind of makes me wonder, about the age of the PC. If you are around Greta and Alwan's age, you could have been almost anything, since you have so much time that you could have been shaping. I imagined the PC as a bit younger than those two..

I doubt it, since what it gives you are skill points. If you put the points in a stat, its pretty much permanent. I think, still kinda new here I tried it out to get the gold to buy some stuff, and I did the HP part in a few maps to have fun running through mines. Too bad I ended up taking more than 9999 damage in one second. Even if you take less than 9999 per hit, if you run through a large group of nasty mines at once, you can still be toast. It worked great for me

I also did a lot of running back and forth selling things so I could buy more pods. Figured out I am not very good at staying alive pretty fast

I just stabbed it until it went away.. You could always explore around some more, level up a bit, maybe get better creations. I lowered the difficulty at least twice throughout my first time playing for certain parts

I just played through as a rebel, and I really liked the ending. I could tell early on, working for Ghaldring, that he and the drakons were obviously going to rule just like the shapers. I stuck through it anyway, and it was worth it. Taygen is very hypocritical, as you see if you play as a rebel. He seemed to use more creations than any other Council member. Oh, and intelligent self-replicating creations/robots does seem like a good idea at first, but yeah, try getting them to stay on your side till the end.

Couldn't playing a pivotal role in the war also mean that maybe you and your little creation army managed to hold a certain unnamed strategic area from the shapers for an extra day? A lot could be lost if one little map is lost before people could be evacuated, or a force could be brought in to defend it. So the PC could be just another nameless face in the crowd who happened to be in the wrong (or right) place, and maybe just scraped by until help arrived. Or something like that, and then you would gain recognition. Its like being a PC, then being a PC again. Except you aren't from a previous Geneforge, so your past story is untold. The sucky part about this is that it still means you would e unknown, and that doesn't help at all.. Sorry for wasting your time

Even if the shapers and drakons destroy each other, there will be enough documents and whatever else left behind for some smart, power-hungry person to come across or purchase. As long as shaping is something that can be learned, there will always be the problem. Its a never-ending situation, as someone can hear legends of the old shaper war, and begins to recruit others like him to learn the secrets, the same way the first shapers must have. In the end of it all, the trakovites would be the best in my opinion. Yeah, they are hypocrites and all, but if they really do destroy shaping, then problem solved. Everyone knows neither the shapers nor the rebels would destroy shaping.

I don't think shapers in general are good people, and I don't think drakons in general are good.. things. So, this is all monkey see, monkey do. Shapers want to kill rebels, drakons realize that, and decide to be like shapers, but kill all shapers. And face it, drakons wouldn't stop there. Eventually, after more and more time spent shaping themselves, the drakons would just kill all the humans, and essentially become the new shapers. Except they are scaley. Either way, down the road, both of the paths lead to about the same place. EDIT: I type so slow, the argument moves past me I think if the right shapers in the council were left alive and win the war, they would have a chance at changing their ways. Winning the war could mean killing the rebellion, or just beating them up till they surrender. If I was a shaper on the council, tasked with serving my people, and was accepting a surrender, I would still off all the crazy drakons.

Whats that movie called.. Planet of the Apes? But with overgrown lizards on two legs. And with how crazy those guys seem to get over time, I bet eventually they would be worse than Shapers were. The Shapers never really got worse, they always wanted to kill the rebels, right? The drakons seem to be getting worse over time.

Ah, thanks. I didn't mean cap in that way, I just can't think of anything else to describe it on my own. So, does that mostly apply to damage though? Even if it doesn't, would it be more worth it to skip the small damage increase in order to have a better chance at charming creations later on?

In G5's case, the rebellion has, sorry for my lack of better words, screwed up the way life had been for a long time, yes? The average person is freaking out in the back of their minds, and if they knew how powerful each side would get, they would be even more scared. I don't know about you, but I would just want to be alive when its all over. Wiping out entire races, or whatever you may call it, is wrong. But who cares when you believe that they want to do the same to you? Not trying to justify Taygen or Ghaldring's actions. I personally, from reading a few posts, like Alwan and the Shaper who wants a truce. Wouldn't it be great to have 2 rebel factions, Ghaldring's and maybe someone like Greta splitting off with your help?

I was reading this, and I decided to try out the battle magic and see if it really does seem to sort of cap off somewhere. I am new to all the games here, and I still only play on Easy-Normal, and have no previous experience. (I guess thats off topic) Anyway, I used (I think) a trainer that maxed all my stats and abilities. Using the battle magic on an agent on the highest difficulty, I was barely hitting 300ish with Purifying Rain. Essence lances was doing in the 500s, and Kill was up to 700-800. Killing everything that easy is no fun though.. Gotta go change that.
