Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 What magical and shaping abilities would be cool to have in the game? 2 of mine are the ability to shape turrets and the ability to walk through walls like hoge did.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I would have liked to shape Podlings and Patchworks. Podlings especially. Having a critter that could keep a whole hoard pinned down would have come in handy. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I would like to shape ornks (that would actually be useful without messing with the scripts) and serviles. Both could fight and carry stuff. P.S. Acky I think you meant "would" not "wouldn't" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Besides making a hideout fort to defend from rebel attacks... Full shaping, like what real shapers can do would be nice. That would include serviles, minds, podlings, and so forth, as well as the ability to augment creations during the shaping process, or however you get the cool creations that shapers can make but we can't.

Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 i would also like ot be able to knock down walls and totally destroy builings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ooooh right, like when the unbound come and tear down a building. Having creations/spells be able to target anything would always be fun, although the programming and graphics would, at least so it would seem to be, very difficult.

Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 shaping in combat mode would be reallyt helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Like with the Geneforge and canisters? —Alorael, who definitely got the idea that the series covered that already. Sure, it seems to have taken a back seat in G5, but it was front and center in the G4 endings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I think he means being able to use your awesome shaping powers on yourself. For example, shaping a tail onto yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I want shaping incombat and shaping turrets, and some kind of engame unbound type unit. Also, making serviles would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Serviles, patchworks, podlings, shaping in combat, alter/make new kinds of creations and almost anything else that shapers can do except making turrets. Turrets are cool, but they can't move, so they are pretty much for only one fight. Not very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody RCCCL Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 What if you could shape short lived viruses to infect enemies, or use shaping to cause status effects to enemies. For example: Being able to focus on a foe, and with some concentration, cause them to become extremely fatigued, or break a limb. Or, shape a virus in the middle of combat, infecting one enemy, lasting for a certain number of rounds, any other enemy that came within a certain distance of an infected creature would also contract the virus. Viruses could cause any number of things, from status ailments, stat penalties, to straight damage. Since you created the virus, you and your creations would be immune, and after a short period of time, the virus would self destruct to prevent it from spreading out of control. The art of shaping has so many potential uses, I think just about anything one could imagine could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 All of those would work best as spells, and many of them already more or less do. There's a reason agents are Shapers too. —Alorael, who supposes it might also be because the shapers can't be bothered to deal with every problem and there are only so many guardians. But agents are still important and loved too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 it would be cool if we could leave our creations in an area. Like in the pens or something. then leave the area without our creations. It would also be cool to build a fortress where you could do shaping. shape turrets and mines to defend it. And once in a while the enemy attacks you and you have to fend it off. In this fortress you could shape a servent mind to control everything and you could use clawbugs to dig,, so you could expand underground.

Seasoned Roamer beren terino Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Besides the obvious new creations (podlings, patchwork, etc...ooo, and golems), I'd like to see more ability to customize your creations, perhaps through templates. Add a 'Burning' template to your Thad, and for an extra 10 essence, it's attacks do extra acid damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Heh. Its actually exactly what the upgraded Thahd does, after you've gotten the skill to three. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 It would be cool that if you got 5 fyora skillpoints you could make a charged fyrora. 5 alpha points and you get a gamma. And it wouldve been nice to get an ornklord... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I would have liked have to been able to add certin magical effects to my creations. The twin spirit's, rune's add etc. The Last Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 It would be nice to be be able to create more than 7 creations. There could be another bar telling you how much mental energy you have and when you level up in a skill then you can make more creations. Lastly it would be really cool to stay in a shaper/rebel keep, and use the farseeing crystals to fight the enemy in a different area.

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Grimm Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'd have loved to have my own keep to run. It was one of my favourite parts from BG2. I'd also like to be able to create a virus, that I could leave in some town and come back three days later to a burned town and mass graves. Come to think of it, I just want a Genefore RTS.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ahh, an MMO geneforge world. If done well, it would have the potential to be amazing. But, alas, it will never be done, let alone done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer shaper_medej Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 MMO geneforge i wanted that since G1. and about the keep yea welcome to my fantasy check in at the servile at the reception for a room. does my avatar look fat (a fat shaper haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 yeah, your avatar is fat...look at mine... MMO geneforge would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I would love to see an MMO Geneforge. Showing off my powers to weaklings would have been glorious .

Tenderfoot Thahd Nejzen Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Being able to modify existing creation templates would be awesome - running around with an army of superfyoras/cryoas that are 5x the normal size to terroize all who stand in your way... or just bug you a bit... would be absolutely awesome Not to mention that they'd be almost exactly like your standard fire/ice breathing T-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
