The US forces can't really be faulted. my main reason for saying so was the dignity remark, it sums it up so nicely. i guess i dont really blame them if it was not possible to get him out alive, but i keep thinking that the troops "tried" to take him alive, And if thats the case its absolutely despicable.

I think there are some balance issues in avadon. im on normal difficulty and Click to reveal.. im doing the quest to help Zhethron the dragon and im attaking the wretch infestation, i met the 3 scouts who told me about a secret passage to get around the main force, thing is I then went and took out the afore mentioned main "force" extremely easily. Im not sure if this is how the game is intended to be but previous experiance with spidweb games have made me think this is just unintentionally easy. Am i wrong and its intentional or is something wrong?

Click to reveal.. and this reporter helps her friend evade the authorities and finds in the end he was also a terrorist sounds like movies were profiting off of islamophobia, in all actuality if there were going to be massive muslim uprisings his death would also set it off.

i think most americans reactions are/will be--- -osama's dead -....who....oh, bin laden....cool.

well on the 9th jeff said that he thinks it'll be out within a the month, so i imagine it will be out anytime between now and may 9.

Maybe not directly, but I'm sure he has ordered others to do exactly that.

ive never actually considered Barzahl to be evil or otherwise a "monster". in his ending he basically perfects the use of canisters to the point that people end up being gods(you and him become gods of gods) in fact one of the most touching parts of geneforge for me is when in the Barzite ending you get captured and he actually holds a entire town hostage for your safe return, by far the best treatment you get in the entire series.

Finally the moment is upon us. PS: yay, we can actually challenge redbeard for ultimate power.

So geographically it does fit. Ah, that's right gf4 and 5 are on opposite sides of terrestia. In that case I would think it's awfully coincidental monarchs destination and your founding place are the exact same, but maybe Jeff is just trying to tease us.

Monarch fits the G5 PC about as well as the G4 PC does, and while it isn't certain, the comments that Alwan, Greta, and Litalia make about Monarch in G4 make it sound quite possible that Monarch is the G3 PC gone mad. If you let Monarch live, he says he'll flee into the western continent by heading through the southern pass. Which means that several months after the PC arrives at the southern citadel, which happens 3 years before the events of G5, there's a crazy shaper wandering around the Drypeak region. According to the timeline, Monarch seems to be the most coherent candidate. It's been a while since I played gf5, but isint the southern pass on the bottom left of the map while drypeak is a bit off the map all the way on the bottom right?

Glories of the shapers made real, eh.

Perhaps the counter was a game idea that jeff never got around to actually initiating. For training I've Never really been able to pin down a time, I mean I could see spending an hour learning a point in melee, but what about say creating a wingbolt, that ought to take quite a long while.

Thanks randomizer.
