Tenderfoot Thahd hotmitts Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 hello, I'm new on theses forums (oops spelling _ I sound like gollum), just started playing Geneforge 1 and really enjoying it. Like the story with its grey areas, like the turn-based combat and the 'shaping' powers and magic. One question, I know it's really 'noob-ish' but I can't find the answer in the help pages; When in combat, your 'create creature' button in the bottom left panel disappears and gets replaced by the melee/ spell buttons. So does that mean when you're in combat mode you can still create creatures? I'm sure I've missed something painfully obvious but if anyone can humour an old man and provide the answer I"d be grateful! Many thanks in advance! Hotmitts.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 In combat you can not make creations so you should prepare beforehand and be ready for anything. Sharx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd hotmitts Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thank you Sssharxx. I'm slightly surprised - I noticed that some of your enemies in the game can shape creatures during combat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Everyone else has more experience with Shaping than you so they can do it during combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that change later when you get stronger, or is that just a story thing? Tvtropes has something to say about that. Basically, since your character always runs around with 7 creations all the time, even the highest level shaper could be easily crushed by sheer numbers, since they don't run around with that many creations. Incidentally, is there a limit to the number of creations that NPC's can have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Namine Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ok, for the question on wether you can make creations during battle. The answer is just nom it kind of sucks, but you can't. Also, there is no limit that your ENEMIES can have, but you can have a total of a party of 8. This includes you and anyone else who may join you in your travels.

Garrulous Glaahk Unplayable Playable Character Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's all in-game mechanics, has nothing to do with story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah, as far as the game engine is concerned, NPCs don't "have" creations at all (even if, as is possible in G4-5, they shape them right in front of you). So there is no limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
