I've missed a fair amount. Anyways, I just wanted to say that the mines was the first location of my original shaper playthrough where I started to appreciate the virtues of a smaller party. It will only get worse  Also, congrats on going Gold, you deserve it.

Maugrim posted:Actually, we found out in the previous update that half the island is a wasteland because of the Shaper ancestors' uncontrolled, haphazard shaping attempts. I get the impression the South Workshop just compounds this, stacking poison on existing poison in a more local area. Yeah, I know... Though I have a feeling that this place is the worst of the Shaper's crimes here. This is poo poo is basically Chernobyl levels of irresponsibility

RoboChrist 9000 posted:stuff. I agree with you on most points. The Shapers (the main ones, not the radicals like the island ones) USUALLY do the best job of controlling shaper magic, and keep it in check (NOT EASY). They just happen to be massive dicks. Sometimes though, being massive dicks just happens to save the day when it comes to the potential disasters that shaping magic could unfold. Perhaps there's a better way, but who knows. That being said, the power plant was one HELL of a gently caress-up. Also, you shouldn't need to put such a disclaimer up like that. If somebody is going to take offense over discussion of a work of fiction, they're probably pretty stupid to begin with. Though I understand why you wrote it...people are so easily upset nowadays over such stupid things mauman fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Captain Oblivious posted:I have to hesitantly agree. There's really no putting the Shaping genie back in the bottle at this point short of genociding the Shapers and even then you're only just delaying the inevitable. Someone WILL rebuild their work sooner or later. I think the only really "correct" (correct as in safest, definitely not moral) choice would have been to GLASS the whole loving island and everybody on it. Oh yeah, and by everybody I mean everybody - shapers, creations, the janitorial staff - EVERYBODY. Now finding a moral (and safe) choice to this whole situation..... Tricky. You are definitely right that somebody would eventually figure out the geneforge again, but it would have been from scratch rather than somebody literally stumbling onto the drat thing. Could have taken thousands of years. This whole situation is seriously stupid, it's basically the equivalent of burying your worst weapon of mass destruction in a little known ditch just outside your border, and being shocked when someone stumbles upon it and nukes you back to the stone-age. I guess what I'm trying to say is the irony of the situation is that the Shapers weren't big enough dicks when it came to dealing with this mess. If they had gone full  this mess would never have happened (or at least it wouldn't have happened for a VERY long time).

Night10194 posted:Also the Shapers are very, very clearly uncomfortable with actually destroying knowledge. Making it require extensive qualification to see is one thing, but destroying it seems like a sacrilege to their culture. and THAT is the primary problem with Shapers They are a very proud people. If they had a bit more humility and the ability to let things truly go a lot of the conflicts in this series would not have happened. mauman fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Loner agents also do very well if you know how to game the combat system. Just don't get cornered But yeah, we're being awfully ballsy to do the shaper crypt this early.

vdate posted:Solution loves the smell of fyoras in the morning! A - they're all shapers. My agent in GF 1 definitely used shaping, just in a different manner than Solution. I actually was always annoyed that one of the classes was CALLED shapers. They should have called it Summoners or something else so this wouldn't be an issue. B - Play a Guardian in GF 2, it's the only time that melee is actually good (as in really, unbelievably stupid good). Only time that poor class gets to shine at all

I dont know posted:The common complaint was that Guardians were unintentionally a challenge class in the first one, and he over corrected. Even then, they are still outshined at it by Agents. It's a close call in GF 2. I think early on the agents have the advantage, but as you go on and on, the guardians shoot up radically in power. Parry is just that drat good. Also, yeah, researchers would have been a much better name for the Shaper class.

Luck affects hit, evasion, armor, and somewhat affects initiative. It's worth maxing out.

You can only train with Halm if you do t have a Taker amulet. Anyway, you can spend your hard earned gold with them to max those abilities. You can train with Halm even with the taker amulet as long as you talk to him BEFORE you join the takers.

dont be mean to me posted:First thing that came to mind. Don't know if it strictly applies to Trajkov, but he did put himself through an Age-of-Sail expedition across an ocean equivalent to the Pacific without really knowing what was out there except 'more land, probably', and there's not a lot of mindsets that deal with that well without an innate affinity for being in charge and having power of life and death over one's subordinates. Trajkov is a complicated fellow, though such words could be used to describe most of the faction leaders in this series.

So yeah.... Good job everyone, by not using the Geneforge we got a bad ending for our Awakened buddies. Hope yer happy  Best ending is hilariously enough siding with Trajkov, YMMV. And yes, the Geneforge ending would have actually been a good ending for the Awakened. Though to be fair the ending we picked IS the cannon ending (or as close to cannon as one can get, since no G1 ending entirely matches up with the sequels), which means we should dive straight into G2 A fun bit about the Geneforge ending - You get some interesting reactions going back to the various important npcs. The Obeyers' in particular is VERY interesting. The talk in question made me respect the Obeyers, even if I don't entirely agree with their philosophy. mauman fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Epsilon Moonshade posted:I don't know what the outcome you're talking about is, but to be fair, I think that "respected but kinda scary Shaper" makes for more interesting future story anyway. Then prepare to be disappointed if Pool ever starts a G2 LP. Unless SHE radically changes the story I suppose. Edit - Whoops. mauman fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Like I was hinting at earlier, Rydell get's my respect for having the MASSIVE stones to actually stand up to the player after using the Geneforge so I let him live (and Ellrah lost a few points for making GBS threads his pants in my presence). Also, this was my first ending because ULTIMATE POWER!!!!!  To put how much your stats go up in perspective, my AGENT was able to create a victory fleet of 7 Drakes and have enough essence leftover to cover all of her spell casting needs as I went and destroyed ever last Sholai (not counting the rebel Sholai) and Taker. mauman fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Jul 5, 2017 |
