NEED OF IMPROVEMENT IN GENEFORGE

Yeah, but all the Geneforge is is a big, intricate canister. I'm sure some maniac with enough power, resources, and time on his hands could work up from there. Basically, the geneforge and the canisters are made out of the same gene-warping technology, so IMO one would follow the other.

 

On a completely unrelated note, I remember when I used my first canister back in GF1 and the text was something like: "The agents in the jar begin to alter you" I actually thought there were tiny agents sitting in that jar surrounded by swirly blue stuff. But that's what I get for being ten.

That's what I think. But the canisters don't do as much as the geneforge (which gives a bunch of different skills and makes you uber-powerful cool) so it's just a lighter version of the geneforge. After all, even though a canister changes ONE skill, it probably could still be classified as a geneforge. Just a mini-geneforge.

~Artemis and mini things. Anything smaller than it's supposed to be is cute. Like those sprite cans that are the size of my fist. And tiny little modle cars. And premature babies. But not canisters.

The only difference between the geneforge and canisters is that the original geneforge kills you, while the canisters don't, though they make your personality alter.

Realistically, I would expect a crawbug or alpha/beta would be much more efficient in terms of martial prowess for the essence investment and skill requirements. Which would render serviles not worth the essence to craft them, at least as combat creations. It might be interesting if they served more as utility creations, ie. the servile technicians that can temporairly join you in G4 to enhance your mechanics skill. But that would probably complicate game balancing and punish the weak-shaping classes by driving up the difficulty of all the mines, doors and traps in the game.

 

Edit: ...and I overlooked the last two pages of this discussion. Pardon the topic change.

There is an ornk canister in every game.

 

G1: Behind an insanely-locked door in the Servile Warren.

 

G2: Behind a locked door in Mountain Base.

 

G3: I assume there's an ornk canister somewhere, but I haven't played the game and so don't know where it is.

 

G4: Kill the oozebeasts in West Poryphra Gate and a secret area with the canister will open up.

 

G5: There are a series of hidden levers in Lost Dera Vault that lead to the canister.

 

Dikiyoba.
