Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 What are the five factions? I want to know, so I know who I'm going to join before-hand, so I know what kind of stuff to say to people. I.E.: 'I intend to find out who has the most treasure, kill them, and repeat the process.'

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Okay. People will look at your topic without necessarily replying. They may not know the answer to your question. They may be composing a reply as we speak - pushing the views up, whilst not counting as a reply. Once you post something, expect to wait a few hours, maybe a day, before you get an answer. It'll save you, and the other members of this board, a lot of headache. And, with that, welcome to SW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That's pretty normal for an internet forum. It's particularly normal here because the game was just released. A lot of people are here looking for information but really it's only the beta testers who have played through the whole game. For example, I didn't answer because I can tell you the factions but not treasure. The factions are: Astoria (peace) Alwan (war) Litalia (Trakovite) Sage Taygen (destroy all creations and start over) Ghaldring (Drakons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I haven't played the game - so I don't know. I thought your topic might have been talking about the factions, instead of asking about them. And seriously, go read some other threads. Wait a while. More people will answer. I suspect though, you know more about this place than you let on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey, I know I should be more patient, but I'm just saying that if you're going to look at a post with a topic you know nothing about, you might as well go somewhere else.

You can't have it both ways - you can't complain that people are reading your topic and not posting, and also complain that people are posting in your topic, but not answering your question.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 One, people look at posts to see if they have information that they may want. Two, people look at posts because they are bored. There are five factions: Shaper Extremist - Sage Taygen - destroy all creations Shaper Moderate - Guardian Alwan - enforce Shaper law Rebel Moderate - Agent Astoria - land for peace Rebel Extremist - Ghaldring - destroy the Shapers Rebel Other - Trakovite Litalia - end Shaping because it makes things worse You can also stay with Shaper Rawal and see history pass you by. Edit - 3 posts went up in the time it took to write this reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Blurb Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Uber, I know nothing. I look at all postings here to find out. So I shouldn't look at a post I know nothing about? That makes no sense. I need guidance when I play and I can find it here. So I look at posts. If your reg is really delayed, like several days, please e-mail Spiderweb. They are working very hard, so please be patient. My reg came in one day, but that might have been a timing issue. If it hadn't come, I'd have waited a few days because I know that extraneous e-mail requests delay them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Trakovism isn't really a joinable faction in G4. There's just two or three of the guys, after all. That said, Trakovism is idiotic. *Rant, rant, rant* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think it's a viable way to solve Terrestia's problems. Although shaping is very fun, especially when you make a rotdhizon and kill everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Nalyd would go about on his typical list of why Trakovism sucks, but he hasn't yet finished G5, and so doesn't know how the playing field has changed. Don't worry, you'll soon see the return of disgustingly stupid debating, just as soon as Nalyd gets around to finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody The Lurker Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 GF5 sounds like it might be the most interesting Geneforge game faction-wise. I'll make sure to try 'em all. Litalia joining the Trakovites makes sense - she didn't really like the Shapers nor the Drakons, and although she thought the Trakovites were mad, she also seemed to think they were wise in their own ways. That Sage sounds like a complete nutcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk BlueRivets Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Litalia doesn't seem like she would be good to lead the Trakovites, almost everything aspect of her personality is due to the better affects of shaping. I recognize saying canisters are a better affect is a bit of a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lyric Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 but does Khyryk appear in this game? and in what position? And about Litalia, she showed some Trako tendencies since g4, and in g3 she wasn't entirely with the rebels, with enough leadership one could pursuade her to "behave herself" .

Articulate Vlish untitledkiller Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 on the topic of trakovites, HOW WOULD THEY DESTROY SHAPING? anyone here meet sage olwen or something? he shapes but even the shapers dont know. so it would be really very difficult to destroy it, also there are so little of them that it seems almost unreal for them to gain momentum . and you think the drakons would just give up and stop shapeing?

Curious Artila Jimm Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The thing is why doesn't Rawal have a faction and I think it would be interesting if the Serviles had one. I havn't played any of the Shaper factions yet but I want to know what Shema has to say about all this shiz going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You can stay with Rawal for the whole game if you really want to, but his grand plan is to hole up into the mountains forever and look after himself, which isn't a winning strategy.

Garrulous Glaahk Serene Tempest Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Originally Posted By: Jimm The thing is why doesn't Rawal have a faction and I think it would be interesting if the Serviles had one. While her motives are debatable, Astoria's goals line up reasonably well with the more Awakened-leaning serviles. If you're thinking more of the Takers, then you won't get much closer than Ghladring's faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Even though Ghladring's faction isn't all that good, and its methods are covered in blood, I think its ending is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jimm Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeh yeh I've played Geneforge 3,4,5 and demos of 1 and 2 so I guess the Serviles have major roles in 1 and 2? And they relate to the "modern" Serviles? Mmmmm yeah I suppose, I never got another task after retrieving Alwans book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you've played to the end of the demo of G1 and G2, you've seen the Awakened and their goals. They want to be free from servitude and to be treated as equals to humans, preferably without bloodshed. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Blurb Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Not sure why Rawal didn't give you another task, Jimm. Did you ask, "What is my next task?" I don't think he cares what your faction leanings are. Everybody seems to get his quests. I, too, would like to have seen a Servile faction. Astoria's faction is strange to me and unpleasant enough task-wise that I wouldn't want to rejoin on replay. I think it would have been nice to have a Penta or, better yet, a Kaz-Penta faction. I suspect that Penta might not be the best sect by itself. The odd message about their impatience with creations, along with their rogue pit, and their identification with the old Pentil/Obeyor sect might give me pause. (Remember the creepy things that used to happen with the Obeyors in G1 and G2?) Kaz by itself might be a little wild. An uneasy alliance between the two would be interesting, though.

I hadn't thought of that. I've usually gotten all his quests long before the control tool is removed, though. I also go down to Stormhold earlier in the game. As soon as I finish the Shadow Road quest, I head south to Kratoa-Kel and the Stoneworks, then walk across the various areas to Stormhold so I can check in with Alwan, steal the canister tome, and then get my charm and drayk training from the fort. Having drayks helps me get through the second region far more easily. ETA: Oh, and if you have enough essence at that point, the wingbolt reward gives you a nice early bit of power, too.
