Sounds interesting. If I may though, given the nature of the Geneforge games, people would probably more inclined to follow your lets play if you did it with text and screenshots, rather than video. Geneforge isn't exactly a game filled with spectacle.

 

Good examples of text LPs can be found in the Something Awful archive.

 

As for my votes:

 

G1: Tricky, Agent, Taker

G2: Tricky, Shaper, Unaligned

G3: Tricky, Guardian, Rebel

G4: Tricky, Shock Trooper, Rebel

G5: Tricky, Sorceress, Trakovite

My votes for "most interesting" would be as follows:

 

G1: Takers, Trajkov, Guardian (only game with Anatomy and not Parry -- they are at their most interesting here; killing machines, but fragile)

G2: Unaligned, Shaper (shaper by process of elimination; unaligned because you get to kill all the bigwigs)

G3: Rebel, Agent (probably the most interesting game for agent play)

G4: Trakovite, Servile (servile deserves to be played once -- and is an interesting class)

G5: Astoria, Sorceress (sorceress is pretty obvious here, I think)

 

Also note that you left out human alignment in G1 (Trajkov/Goettsch/yourself/nobody) and the Trakovites in G4.

 

If you insist on doing Torment LPs, the only sane games to do them with would be G2 and G3, especially if you are going to do all the secret zones.

I will second that appeal. Something in the vein of Synergy's Insidious Infiltrator would be nice.

Unfortunately I am terrible at writing so i'm not sure about that. With video I can just edit out the boring bits of long walks and such.
