They can be useful against turrets or other stationary mobs, Especially if you give them the leap to target and exploding boils trait. Though mostly I prefer the volatile thahd as they tend to have more HP and be a higher level.

well yeah? I thought thats what you were talking about. Are you saying you want to be able to control creations not in the party?

No, if they are not in the party then controlling wouldn't make that much sense and may be harder to code. Hopefully the Kickstarter will be able to reach the 80K goal.

I'll replay gf2 for the 1000th time soon but I do remember controlling the rat and roamer(wasn't interested in the vlish and others) but I think you needed to add a point of intelligence to therm

If they take up a spot in the party roster then it would make sense that you would be able to control them.

Is it possible to Rejoin the Obeyers after switching to join a different faction? From what I remember of the original I think I did this.

There's a topic about creations that join your party in GF2  at:

https://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/topic/11806-creations-that-join-your-party/

but it doesn't mention if any of them can be directly controlled by the player.

In the original GF2 there were actually a lot of traveling companions you could get(2 of them leave after you reach a certain area). IMO, I think it could maybe work middle-end of the game

Were you able to control them? Other than Mutagen the only other Geneforge I've completed was part 5, and I don't think the few creations that would follow me in Mutagen were able to be controlled .

For the "Add a New Character!" backer reward, would adding a character that would function as a companion like Greta or Alwan in Geneforge 3 be something that would be allowed or would that be too overpowered? Maybe something to consider as a stretch goal at $120K

There may have been a few battles where I used them, but alas I don't recall the specifics. A possible strategy would be to go into combat and then send them into areas where you know enemies are located to 'soften them up' while you remain a safe distance far away.

Thanks for the info. Do any of the other Geneforge games have NPCs that you can control join the party? The only ones I've played to the end are the first and the last but there may be a servile that joins in the 4th game if I remember right.

It would make sense for the one with an opposing view to leave once you've chosen a side, but what about the one who shares your views on the rebellion?

Merry Vlishmas and happy holidays from the Geneforge!

I get the feeling that poor ol' Mom isn't getting out of the series alive, unfortunately. We'll have to wait and see, though!

She'll probably make to at least the final game I'm guessing.

Something that would be a nice addition would possibly having events or NPC conversations based on the various nationalities of the members of your party. In the previous game your party consisted of Havenites, Ahriel, Ukatash, and Vol. Perhaps in the new game the certain factions may have various alliances and enemies, if you fill your party with people belonging to that faction then you likely will have an easier time in their territory than you would if your party were made of enemies of that faction.

What about leaving the Obeyers and then rejoining them again later in the game? For the remake I originally joined the Obeyers, then switched to the Awakened, and in the end went with the Takers.

Yogi would be a better president than Donald Trump and probably Caligula as well. Under Yogi everybody would get a picnic basket!

Wonder where 'the Child' (AKA baby Yoda) would rank on that list if you ever do any more updates?

Bernie would have made a better president than Donald Trump, though I don't know if he would have beaten Trump if he had won the primary back in 2016. He still would have probably fared better than Hillary did. Economically speaking I  would say I lean left and am a registered Democrat.  Medicare for all would be fine with me, though I think that a public option would probably be more popular with the rest of the people.

And now the Geneforge remake page is available on the website and the Steam page is up as well.

Will the remake eventually be getting their own subforum the way the Avrenum remakes did?

There's a new update on the kickstarter page.

Nice list. Something that you may want to add though is where these items can be obtained if you are able to always get the same item from a particular location.
 

Is there a key you can press that would highlight switches and other interactive objects or was that Avadon? 
 

Yeah, If I had a Mac of my own with system 10 I would definitely get it, but I'm running  system 9 and I don't think my mom would appreciate  it if I was hogging up her Mac to play it.
 

Any fans of the Dark Castle games? Back in the 90s I had both games on my Mac Classic. The sound for the games was awesome.
 

Solitaire games can be useful to pass time on your computer while your waiting for something, though I don't play with a physical deck. Windows 7 had some nice card games, but the ones on  Windows 10 aren't as good. Does anybody make a free version of  Klondike where all the cards are revealed in the beginning so you can plan your moves accordingly?
 

There's still 4 NPCs still available  and 1 chance to name something.

I never found which item was causing them since it didn't happen in some playthroughs.

 

The visions may occur on a certain day (holiday) though I'm not 100% sure.
