This game series just sucks. Ive tried replaying geneforge 3, 4 and 5 at least 5 times each and Im beginning to find that there's really no reason to play these games.
-First of all, unlike avernum, you dont actually get to experience the full game until about a quarter into it as you dont get creations that wont die in the 1st to 2nd round.
-If your playing a guardian (like me) your fucked as they get no benefit to shaping that a shaper cant do better. If your playing an agent or shaper, you should be alright as they are actually powerful classes. Not the guardian. The guardian is the weakest class in the game as they cannot shape like the shaper, nor can they cast magic like the agent, and 1 attack per round wont get you past half the game.
-Another reason the game series is lame is that you never know just how much you DESPERATELY need mechanics and leadership. At least in geneforge 1 and 2, this isnt so bad. But in geneforge 3,4, and 5, if you dont pump those skills just the right amount, you wont be able to get past that area. Another reason why this series sucks.
-The last and worst part of the game is that it says that you can make your character any way you want, yet that is the biggest fucking shit as if you dont specialize in the certain right skills that jeff knows your supposed to place, you will get destroyed again and again.
Ive been lenient with this game series, but after replaying the games 25 times and losing half way through, the maker is a fucking jew in this aspect.
I should add however that the avernum series (another series) is very good especially the reremake of the original exile which i am playing right now, so this is one major setback but not completely.
Do yourself a favor and dont buy any of these games. They are far from regular rpgs and even further from rpgs you can sit back and enjoy.
