Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've been thinking about this for awhile. You see, I've always wondered why the agent's default graphic had pale green skin. Maybe all shapers are like that. Then I supposed that was to represent the use of canisters since the agent was the only character that shows skin. Has anyone else ever wondered about this oddly coloured skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 It has to do with the tinting of the agents clothes. The colors kind of wash together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Given that the Shaper wears a shadowy robe that leaves only creepy red eyes visible, and the Guardian wears full body armor, the only skin you can actually see is the Agent's. Perhaps they're all like that - which would be one thing that clearly distinguishes them from the humans in the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Frozen Feet Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've always thought that the weird colouring comes from the essence stored within their bodies. Anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Maybe it's just Dikiyoba, but Dikiyoba doesn't see the green in the agent's skin. It's abnormally pale skin for someone who doesn't wear a lot of armor and presumably travels around outside a lot, but it's not green.

I looking at the skin again and yes, it is really pale but to me it looks glowy which translates as a greenish tone on my computer.

Ineffable Wingbolt Aequitas Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Most Agents look to me like they've been dyed as Easter eggs. And they've been living in a cave for the last year and a half. Like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sitting still in a cave for a year and a half. Not necessarily alive. It gives the lichen time to grow, you see.

Personally, I don't give a (insert expletive here) about how hot a series of numbers looks. Sure, they may have some nice graphics, but none of them are anything to write home about.

Ineffable Wingbolt Suspicious Vlish Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 The agent has a 'sheen' to her skin. And no, you're not imagining it. She DOES have a slightly glowing skin. However, it's not always green. The colour of the glow is the same as the colour of her uniform. I remember noticing how sexy glowing skin was on a relatively well toned girl all the way back in GF1.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Milla:I'm guessing the Shapers glowing red eyes may be due to the Geneforge effect. They were not. Um, I mean, if the Geneforge and assorted canisters were hidden away on a remote island and eventually destroyed, then why do all Shapers have red eyes? Or is the "Geneforge effect" something that isn't limited to the Geneforge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 I was going from the description of Trajkov after he used the Geneforge: Glowing, fiery red eyes. So it was easy to speculate that when the PC used the Geneforge that happened to them too. Of course even just using enough canisters with apparently give you glowy eyes too.

Fledgling Fyora ShaperGangrene Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 But they're not damp and dark. That's Avernum/Exile. The shapers don't live in caves, they live on the surface, in towns and forts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Sawtooth Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I found Milla's question regarding the Agent's skin coloring interesting and amusing. So it gave me the idea to experiment and change a graphic in GF2. In so doing, (understand I'm not talking all graphics for the Agent, that would be a major undertaking) I was able to change my Agent, just on the inventory screen, to a long haired blonde w/blue eyes and red lips, black outfit w/silver-grey tights, black boots and a rather enhanced upper torso (in good taste). By making just these changes and using Jeff's original color, the skin tone lightened significantly. FYI, I used resedit on a copy of the GF2 graphics file to do this.
