Garrulous Glaahk Level 1 Hermit Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I just started Geneforge 1 and played as an Agent. Reached the Takers and I feel like Agent just isn't that fun because all I do is shoot fireballs and it's really hard to get past some places. Could someone please teach me how to change my character to Shaper, it seems like a much more fun role. Also, I was tinkering with the files myself and I think I changed the GFPref file to open with notepad... Now I don't know if the game itself will be affected. My app is on Steam btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt MMXPERT-seraph of thermodynamics Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 changing it to shaper at this point will just change your sprite. there are many things affected by this, namely stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Level 1 Hermit Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 How can i just edit everything?!! I really don't want to start my story all over again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You could just use Croikle's Editor. The only difference among the character classes is how many/few skill points you need in order to raise certain skills, so just give yourself higher shaping stats. (Er, there may also be something to do with Essence, I guess, so you may need to boost Intelligence. I forget.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There should be a value in the save game that is set when you are Shaper, Guardian, or Agent that could be changed so from that point on you would be a different class.

Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Changing the GFPref file to open with notepad won't create any problems, so long as you don't edit and save anything. If you want to look like a Shaper too, a similar but equally difficult option to editing the save games would be to load the program into a Memory Searcher (like MHS) and do Trial And Error until you get the memory which contains your character's class. Note that I've not done this on a steam's version of Geneforge, but it should be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also changes how you scale with essence (shaper>guard>agent), energy (agent>shaper, guard), and health (guard>agent>shaper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Level 1 Hermit Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Read through all your suggestions and I am grateful; however, I think I'll just trudge through the countless deaths scenes and hope I can get through with Agent. It's not that bad actually but just a bit repetitive. I learned agents get many more spells later in the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
