Garrulous Glaahk BrownieMix Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 So this is a pretty generic question, but what do the mix/max powergamers feel is the best approach in terms of having a good rep with the shapers or the rebels? I found that, while attempting to be exclusively pro-shaper my first time through, there were numerous quests that I didn't have access to - the Trakovites, selling shaper papers, etc. My second time through, I turned in the servile for the +1 Intelligence, but have tried to be pro-rebel ever since. Any thoughts as to what is the 'best' approach? Is there such an approach where I can max out on quests and items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It looks like it would be much easier than in G4 to go back and forth a few times and get the rewards from everyone. Let me go check on that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 sniff sniff I can already smell the brimstones bruming No offense meant, but geneforge politions have a high tendency to create violent, deadly flame wars over which faction is "best". Even though you mean who is the most powerfull, I would not be suprised if this results in a sulky, hot war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 No, silly, both sides are wrong. It is we Vlish who are really in control. We use the chaos as a means to have fresh brains to snack on. So long as they keep fighting one another, we have plenty of gourmet grub to go around. Brains scrambled by geneforges, brains scrambled by canisters, shaper brains marinated in delicious panic or doubt. Both sides exist merely to provide both amusement and nourishment.

Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Er, I beg your pardon, but rots are ridiculously easy to take over and control. They have no real willpower to speak of. No advanced thought. They are just empty husks really, animated through shaping, caught forever in an endless state of decay. Vlish have existed for uncounted ages. We were already ancient when rots were first conceived and came into being. Of course, couldn't expect somebody like you to know game history...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 This is the most... something topic yet on G5. Good job? —Alorael, who thinks it's slightly easier to be pro-Shaper and get good rewards because you can get Rawal's stuff without harming your reputation. By late in the game, though, all factions are more or less equal. It's not even really worth the effort to power-game them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Actually, human appendage porn is an old joke I made many moons ago, when Geneforge was bright and shiny and new. And it has since become a slice of humour for the old regulars. So it pretty much has everything to do with Geneforge. It has been a running gag through out the whole series, along with the location of vlish n— never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be confused with Slartucker, who is stealing Alorael's gimmick. Name and all. Also, you don't have to respond to every single post. Just a thought.
