Pogolizard Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 What is the thing in the taker warrens in geneforge 2? when you finish the game it says "behind a locked door in the abandoned taker warrens, something stirs" (or something like that.) And now I know my signature doesn't work... Ah well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nioca Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ghaldring or Akhari Blaze. One of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock The Archmage Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Are those 2 characters going to appear in G3? I haven't heard of them and I am in the middle of playing G3 for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nioca Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ghaldring and Ahkari Blaze are both Drakons. They both are very powerful, and the former is the only sane one I've met so far. AMEND: Akhari appears in GF3, and I think Ghaldring does too. I just can't remember which one was the experiment locked away in the warrens. I think it was Akhari. Anyway, both appear in GF4. And both might appear in GF5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock The Archmage Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 will G3 explain why they were locked behind the door? or was the answer in G2 and i didnt play enough of it/need to play the taker story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nioca Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 He's a contingency so the Takers (under the guise of the Rebels) can come back to fight another day. If he had been out in the open, the Shapers/Awakened/Barzites would have taken him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious...Is it even possible to get through that door? I've tried everything I can think of, with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock The Archmage Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I tried too, I could never figure it out. EDIT: on the subject of Geneforge, I have heard that, many people usually go with the awakened or the shapers on the first playthrough, is it odd that i always play unaligned my first time?

The Mystic Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I play unaligned as much as possible in every Geneforge game, choosing a side only when absolutely necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikiyoba Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's Ghaldring behind that door. And no, there is no way you can get into it. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evnissyen Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That was fun. In respect for Brock who hasn't yet finished G3 : Click to reveal.. Wasn't Akhari Blaze the one waiting at the geneforge? And Ghaldring, I believe, never actually "appeared" in the game except as a sillouette in the epilogue? So... who was the one who was imprisoned? And who was the one meditating in the Servile town? It was so long ago that I played it, I've forgotten the names and details. And I'm glad at least one person hasn't been discouraged by the overwhelming criticism of Geneforge 3. Fun game, best beginning of all the SW games, too (A5 comes in second). One of my favorite parts, I think was the Monastery of Tears. If you think the upper level is tough, find your way into that basement and go crazy. ...But that's not until maybe 4/5 of the way through the game. Go in there with a rotghroth and a drakon and have fun. (Why're we able to make drakons, anyway? I don't think that that question has yet been adequately answered.) Oh yeah, and... I prefer to get aligned as soon as possible. It gives me a sense of purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping Dragon Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Click to reveal.. It was Ghalding behind the locked door in Geneforge 2. Akhari Blaze claims he was created by Ghaldring, who was in turn created by Eass. Akhari blaze was in Genforge 3, and you could only see Ghaldring's arm in the ending. As for Evnissyen's question about the meditating person. Are you talking about the person in the ending? I believe that is the PC, and the PC gets imprisoned in some endings as well.

Evnissyen Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Click to reveal.. First: I did a little research (my resources here are limited since I've only late-game saves). I was speaking specifically of G3. Akhari Blaze is in fact the drakon who's heading the reconstruction of the geneforge and then finally, if you don't kill him, tests it out on himself and is quite satisfied -- after some appropriate agony, of course -- with the result. Meanwhile, there're two other drakons. One is imprisoned in Lord Dhonal's (?) palace, the Shaper leader you're sent by Akhari Blaze to assassinate. If you free him after you escape the palace dungeon then he helps you fight... if I remember correctly. So... this is another drakon, not Akhari or Ghaldring. He's also the one who tells you about the drakon lineage. Then there's another, effectively insignificant one, who sits meditating in a house in the southeast corner of the servile town where you join the cause if you like. The "knives in the night" town. I forget the servile leader's name. He makes you kill Khyryk if you want to join the servile cause. The drakon doesn't want to be disturbed. He hightails it out of there if you betray the serviles, so you can't go back and kill him. In that town, there's also an agent spy in the northwest corner. EDIT: After quickly verifying two names.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Overwhelming Criticism of G3? i haven't heard any criticism, and all the criticism i have ever heard for any SW game was negligible to me anyway . My ONLY criticism in any of the games is the lack of options in the Avernum games when compared to Exile. No dual wielding any more, not nearly as much magic, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evnissyen Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anonymous... I mean Brock: I won't comment any more on or against the criticisms of A4 and G3. I've had my full of commentary. I would agree, however, that both the Avernum and Geneforge series could use more spells, of more variation and greater imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock The Archmage Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 could you direct me to the thread where the criticisms happened? Now i am dreadfully curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikiyoba Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 G3 isn't that different plotwise from G2, except it only has two factions to choose from. The engine isn't terribly improved either. Alwan and Greta are nice. The enchanted anvil is only a little bit nicer than the people who could make you stuff in G2. Traveling between islands is a real pain. And while it's nice to be able to stash stuff in a barrel instead of on the ground, the inventory is a pain too. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evnissyen Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Brock: Well, this one, anyway, at least that would be the latest one. There are better threads, but I don't know where they are, maybe the Geneforge 4 forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock The Archmage Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 true, that. now I've played a little more, i know how annoying island travel is. I like the inventory system though, like G4. Just wish the encumbrance system was the same as G4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evnissyen Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Funny thing... my first reaction to the alteration of the encumbrance system was, well, confusion was the first reaction since it didn't make sense to me that my huge sack or backpack or whatever I was supposed to be carrying was not weighing me down... then when I realized what was going on I was simultaneously happy and disappointed. Weird. I was happy that I didn't have to worry about encumbrance except with equipment... but I was disappointed with the loss of a system that had been, in the past, a reliable nuisance. But it was definitely an improvement. I think the only argument against G3 that can I agree with was the issue with the boats... that was a bit of a nuisance, but it did add something to the game, nonetheless, which I think I mentioned in that particular thread. Anyhow... there were a couple of other threads on that nature that, in retrospect, are kind of amusing to me... I'll post them if I find them.

Brock The Archmage Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks. As to the encumbrance-I'm a firm believer in dropping the very very heavy backpack when trouble rears it's head, hence having NO encumbrance but the armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evnissyen Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yes, that's true... after all, who fights with an absurdly pregnant sack slung over their shoulder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock The Archmage Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Apparently the characters in the first 3 Geneforges and in Avernum 4. Dunno about 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
