Curious Artila Tesability Black Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Okay, time to get creative. I've thought of things before that just ain't going to happen and I've got the feeling you have, too. Let's share and laugh our tails off at what the imagination can think of. #1: Shaper/servile hybrid. ~Note that I used 'Shaper' and not 'human'. Is that going to EVER have? F***, no, and I'll bet money on that. This is one of my favorite "Ain't Gonna happen". #2: The ability to shape turrets and spawners. ~Think about it, these creations canNOT move. Not to mention, you'd get your butt kicked if you were caught shaping a spawner. What have you thought up that ain't gonna happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Zealot Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 1. Spawners spawn turrets and other nasty things. COULD maybe annoy a bit. 2. Serviles can fight well. HAHAHA! (sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Tesability Black Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Got another "Ain't Gonna Happen" for you. A Shaper SOMEHOW turning him/herself into a Drakon, namely a Taker Shaper. Don't EVEN ask how I thought that one up, I got made at Zakery and Brazahl for soemthing is all I'm saying... I think I just heard someone vote me as "Most Creative Imagination" over here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 - A Spawner-spawning Spawner. - One of the sect leaders actually getting up off his ass and doing something. - Fighting giant swamp rats. Oh, wait. - A plot without megalomaniacal villians bent on world domination. - You steal something when nobody is looking. Later, they notice it missing and you spend the rest of the game in a cramped prison. - The PC, despite devastating magic and fierce, loyal creations, has to stop to take a leak. - An NPC gets over their fear of "Shaper authority" and just beats your ass when you demand more supplies. - The Clawbugs start their own sect, determined to dig a big, sandy pit. - As you summon all your powers to blast the enemy to kingdom come, he unceremoniously whips out a revolver and shoots you in the face. - Someone sends you on a quest to return his missing head of cabbage. It's been in the family for generations. - Your desperate search over the world has led you to a dark forest. You slay all the rogues and trek through untold miles of wilderness. Finally, through clues in obscure rumors told to you by raving, drunken serviles, you come across a toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, you'd get your butt kicked if you were caught shaping a spawner. In fact, these things could be possible, but very high level needed and very highly illegal. So if someone from the good side sees you doing it, they kill you. And if you join some evil side, you can freely do it, but very late in the game. And what comes to the can't move thing: You have to shape it in a place where is a big fight, and after the fight, drain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 MagmaDragoon: this is actually what I meant. Spawner-spawning Spawners wouldn't be much of a threat; since they cannot attack they'd just take up space, essence, and a few gemstones apiece. It'd be good for experience to hack through a few, and you'd get rich quick. In related news, it has always bothered me that, assuming Geneforge takes place in our universe, the Law of Conservation of Matter is broken each time you Shape a new Creation. But Einstein's Relativity Theory does state that matter is energy. Therefore the Shaping process must consist of some fission in which energy (Essence from the Shaper's body) is transformed into matter, and the Absorbtion process must consist of fusion, in which mass is transformed back into energy. This is all well and good in theory, but keep in mind that fusion produces such rich energy that (according to Einstein) a two-pound brick, if spontaneously transformed into pure energy, would destroy our planet. So can it be that the Shapers are that powerful? Maybe Creations are weighed in amu ... or maybe I'm just not giving Jeff a chance. Hooray.

Curious Artila Tesability Black Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 My brain is running on full today. 1. Invisible enemies (that cast a shadow). 2. Committing a crime some out sets off a defense system that permentally reduces some of your stats without reducing the leveling-up cost. 3. A full-Servile Shaper (a.k.a a servile specially created to Shape. 4. Being able to actually Shape during COMBAT!!! The NPCs do in in G3!!! 5. Being able to make customized creations other than by changing their stats, to make it look like no two creations are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(idea, must create an orink (sp??) to serve as a pack animal, therefore using up one of the creations slots) 4) Being able to control "guest" creations (the ones you find, rather than make yourself).

Curious Artila Socane Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 What about, Say... A device in some sect, that is supposed to shape you and give you ultimate power, something like the Geneforge... but when you use it, it shapes you into some wierd half/creation half/shaper thing and you get locked up as an experiement, and you then get the option of quiting and trying again on a previous save, or trying to escape from jail. I mean... A half/human vlish thing that can shape? It scare the crap out of anything and be better at throwing spells, yet really really really easy to kill with a good melee hit.

Now here's something that REALLY ain't gonna happen: An upgraded form of an ornk, like a Cryoa is a Fyora's upgraded form. And here's something else that would go well with the girl players: in-game dolls that look like the creations! Of course, actually having one, even if you had to make it yourself, tops that easily. *huggles her Cryoa plushie* And, no, you can't have my plushie.

That arguement will never haven in the Geneforge games, thank god! *headdesk* Hello, there's no sort of religion in the game, and these Shapers can use magic? There must be a god SOMEWHERE in the games! I know there's one in the Avernum games, it's just that a name hasn't been mentioned yet.

Unflappable Drayk John S Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 There's more than one god in the Exile/Avernum games. They also don't seem to exclude each other by existing, despite the fact that none of the gods are counterparts to the others. Maybe gods in Exile/Avernum exist simply because they have followers? For example, an Anama priest probably doesn't pray to the same god as a member of the Divine Lucre, but they both use the same spells. There's nothing in the Anama religion (as far as I know) about the god of the Divine Lucre, and reverse that for the religion of the Divine Lucre.
