Curious Artila Shadow Bunny Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I was wondering if it's wise to use only a couple creations towards the beginning of the game, so that the PC doesn't lose experience to creations that'll eventually be absorbed, or if the experience drop is too negligible to bother with.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It dosn't really matter. I had this problem but my own thoughts are that if you add all the XP you lose, you will end up with about 2-3 levels less at the end of the game. Really this only effects powergamers. So really I think more creations easily outweighs the loss of about some skill points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 All experience you earn is scaled by your current level, often quite drastically. So gaining more levels early doesn't actually translate to being at a higher level late in the game. Having 7 creations with you all the time is unlikely to result in being more than, maybe, 2-4 levels lower when the game ends. And as we all know, levels in Spiderweb games don't mean much at all. 10-20 skill points and a few HP and Essence late in the game make almost no difference whatsoever.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Even in a worst-case scenario, the difference between going solo all the time and having a full army of 7 creations whenever possible is less than 10 levels at the end of the game. I haven't tried a solo character in G5, but in G4 a shaping-heavy Lifecrafter tends to end up around level 40-42 while a solo Servile ends up around level 45-47. Considering that it's not hard to reach level 50 by the endgame in G5, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Kurian Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 there definitly seems to be a lot more levels available in G5 then in the previous Geneforges. My other shapers could barely hope to get to 35, now their clearing 40 easy. the hp and essence counters have also been increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
