Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 So I've played and completed Geneforge 5 twice; one on the Shaper's side, one on the rebel's. But what's the difference between the classes? Lifecrafter or Shaper? Infiltrator or Agent? Warrior or Guardian? What's the difference? Do Lifecrafters receive bonus reputation in doing quests for the rebels? Or is it just Jeff's option to let the player choose whose robe/armor seems cooler? Because I've noticed for once as I played as a Servile, there is a special conversation dialogue which you can choose when you see the rogue servile at North Mera Road. You can tell him that you're a servile too, so he should let you pass (which convinces him). ------ -Nightwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think servile is the only class to get special dialogue just because Shapers deal mostly with them as servants and not equals. Since you are a Rebel the class otherwise isn't dialogue different and no bonuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Questionably Legal Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I believe that there are minor stat differences betweenthe shaper and rebel versions of the classes. Except for servile, which gets occasional extra dialogue options, the class you play as only affects your beginning stats and stat growth.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Shaper class verses the Lifecrafter class has absurd resistances, probably unintended from reusing stuff from G4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Absurd resistances indeed. Most people play the shaper classes BECAUSE they have the exact same stats as the rebels plus the resistance. I think it was a 30% difference?

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Guardians also have higher starting essence than the Warriors, though the warriors increase it comparatively faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Catoblepas Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Considering the choice of playing as either one of the Shaper or Lifecrafter classes, I had high hopes that the amnesia plot would resolve itself in a different manner depending on if you chose a Rebel class or Shaper class. Unfortunately, your choce has zero impact on how people treat you, oustside of the choice to play a servile. I found the handling of the class choice/amnesia plot to be rather underwhelming for this reason... The only difference between the classes is stats, when it comes down to it.

Kyshakk Koan Valdain the King Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Spare the rod, spoil the child. Oops did I write that. Nevermund. Guardians only differ in essence but eventually Warriors catch up. Agents and Shapers are the only real classes I would play the vanilla version of jus because they look cool. The reason is that they don't have a gimp like Guardians do. The best class in the game is Servile for both Geneforge 4 and 5. Err..I mean 5 as I beat the 5th game but would like to think I beat the 4th. Serviles are just the most powerful class in the game and at later lvls-One servile could kill an entire party of adventurers in Avadon, Avernum or any of the other series. With health in the 1000s, strong melee, strong area of effect magic, daze and what not-your almost more powerful than Chuck the truck.
