Garrulous Glaahk The1Kobra Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I was always thinking... I have seen on several posts the whole "Fyoras are cute" thing. I don't know what to make of it, though , I kind of do (half think) that the fyora from the GF2 cutscenes, is fairly cute. (every young shaper's dream is to create the cutest fyora, woohoo!) I don't know, maybe im not alone, or maybe I'm just a freak. (Absolutely true on former). Or, maybe its a similar thing with kobolds from NWN. Anyway, I'd like some input, well.... maybe. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 While not ugly, they are not cute. Rather, they are sleek, scaly, dangerous to the unwary, and smell strongly of sulfur. However, Dikiyoba also finds them to be loyal minions.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Fyoras are mostly just cheap and easy to create. If they last long enough then they grow on you sort of like scaly fungus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Andraste Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 They are the cutest ever.

Well-Actually War Trall Andraste Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Good. I'm glad we agree. Fyora don't make stupid little noises when you talk to them.

Well-Actually War Trall Synergy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Are Fyoras Cute? Not anymore, if you've seen the new graphic.

It was doing 80+ damage with its ice breath far into the game and hit level thirty-something before it was finally sacrificed for something more gratifyingly deadly. -S- is for Shiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk The1Kobra Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Looks,,,, like I am not ENTIRELY alone on this... I have not seen the dread ugly GF4 fyora, and looking at the screenshots, they still look the same. I guess I did not specify WHICH fyora I was talking about, so (some random and boring apology). Also, when taking comparison pictures, why didn't anyone take any screenshots from GF2, they're all over. Or, maybe I am just completely insane...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 New fyora graphic. (The one in the Rivergate Keep screenshot must be a placeholder graphic. It's one of the earliest screenshots.) Also, the fyora in G2 isn't the best. (Dikiyoba modified the eye, but everything else is untouched.)

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Jeff started replacing graphics about 2/3 of the way through beta testing. The fyora is one of the few graphics that was changed so all earlier testing games using it are no longer playable with the new graphic. I don't know what types of error may occur if you rewrite the scripts to replace it with an old one. The new one has more of a resemblance to the raptors in Jurassic Park.

Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Fyoras are the cutest creations you can make. If you don't like lizards as pets, then you probably won't want the horse-sized sulfur and brimstone version. But if you like reptiles, then the older Geneforge fyoras are awesome. Would you rather go set up camp and lie down with a slimy artilla, a flatulent and floating vlish, a drooling thahd, a scorpion-like clawbug with an insatiable appetite, or a warm fyora? A cryoa to me seems far less amicable. Unless you live in the Bahamas, I think having your hand frozen every time you want to pet your creation is a major hassle.

Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Sure, if you A) are not a shaper. have emotional detachment from your creations. C) are the type of person to put outside all pets before going to bed (even the goldfish).

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't know how friendly a cryoa would be because everytime he breathed he'd give you a cold shoulder.

Since reptiles are cold blooded and thus can neither generate their own heat nor survive when too cold, it would be logical to assume that they are room temperature. Their breath weapons would not effect their body heat, since the most common theory for such anatomy would be glands holding chemicals that, when released, mix just before being projected from their mouths. Cuddling with a fyora or cryoa would be like cuddling with a leather jacket, it might actually be cool to the touch either way unless it was in the sun. My choice of cuddly creation: ornk.
