Articulate Vlish FabledOne Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Recently, I decided to play through the original GF, and relized how much more I liked the original shaper model. So it inspired me to find out who else feels this way. The choices include both Shaper, and Rebel chars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 The Warrior seems to be a bit unpopular, but I like him because he so fits the way you have to play him in G4. He's this dorky-looking guy in goggles who looks like he'd be better off coming up with tactics than trying to fight an army solo, and while everyone else is commanding hordes of monsters or setting enemies on fire, he is completely outmatched by everything he faces. Yet this makes his every victory an honorable one, obtained by tactical skill rather than supernatural force, and in my opinion makes him the most fun to play of any character in any Geneforge game. I also like him because the default name "Tristam" completely fits him--Tristam was the second-best of Arthur's knights, and our own Tristam is second-best in every way, but still a hero.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I've personaly always like the the High Fighting/Low Magic stlye and thier graphics. Most people seem not to like it but its my first choice every time. I like the 2 for different reasons. The Guardian 3 looks like a leader. Sort've like someone who's powerfull but tends to stay in the command center and lead an army(like say Alwan). Dakro to me has gone to military school and studied battles from books. A "Gentlemen". I think he represents the shapers in that regard pretty well. Tristram, on the other, looks like a vetaren. Someone who dosen't know any fancy tactics but instead relies on pure instinics and sheer willpower. In that regard he repreasnts the rebals pretty well. The 1-2 Guardian is just awfull. He dosen't even have a face! The Shaper/Shaper3/Lifecrafter graphics are Good/Great/Awfull. The 1-2 one to me looks like a down to earth reashecher. I never hated it, but never perticularly liked it either. The GF3-4 one is great! To me it looks like a up-tight smart-donkey. I think its the best out of the all of them. I don't know if I alone in this, but the lifecrafter Graphic looks like its from the far east or something. And did anyonr else think of the Sholai when you saw that? The Infiltraitor/Agent is tied to me. When I look at them, I see the Agent as a diplomat, reiling on intuition and cunning. I see the Infiltraitor as someone who reilies on equipment, skill, and a little luck. They both show the rebals/shapers good When I look at the shocktrooper, I see a lifecrafter. I think the Shock Trooper should'ov been the lifecrafter and be replaced with something that looks alittle more violent. As for the Servile, I personly beilive we should've had a difference between a lifecrafter servile and a laborer servile. But it stills looks better than the old serviles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nebulan thinks that the shaper in G1 was more, well, how one describes a shaper. G3 shaper graphic was very fru fru...definitly feminin. The G1 & 2 gaurdian was better as a general local gaurd. The new servile Neb personaly dislikes. They were better as those hunched over guys in the dark robes with red trim, they were kinda...well...cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Arori4 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Infiltrators and agents rule. Although they are hard in the beginning, I prefer moving one person rather than a bunch. This was improved in Geneforge 4, where items worn only count towards encumbrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 That's why you set up a cache somewhere for items you want to have but don't want to (or can't) carry at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 shapers definitely looked more mysterious and shaper-like in G1 and 2. and i made faces at the new guardian when i saw him, but now i've got used to it - after all, there should be some difference between him and a local guard, isnt it?

Aye, but what was the need to change the shaper graphic. To fix the unbroken or because all the other graphics had changed. You know, If you look at the new schreenshots for G5 you can see a Shaper agent. He saw that graphic didn't need to be changed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 That's because you can start off on either side; either as a Shaper/Guardian/Agent or as a Lifecrafter/Warrior/Infiltrator/Shock Trooper/Servile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Drayk Armitage Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 /9th and final class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish FabledOne Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Jeff should alow you to be either 1/2 Shaper, or 3/4/and most likely 5 Shaper. And based on the votes, get rid of Lifecrafter all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 votes are good however... The lifecrafter is the rebel's shaper, if there is a rebellion there has to be a lifecrafter. Can't just toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Agreed. Shapers and lifecrafters are basically the same thing; if there's two sides, you need both classes in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Terra Alcolyte Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 What exactly would you have to do to change the new shaper graphic back to the g1 graphic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Luckily the new shaper graphics and the old shaper graphics are spaced out the same. If you wanted to change it all you would have to do is copy all the shaper graphics from the G1 or 2 data folders and paste them in the 3 or 4 data folders. Switching out the old servile graphics would be a bit trickier since they are spaced differently, last checked. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
