BKPR posted:I'm about 8 hours into Geneforge 1 and I feel like it's kind o a slog. I can enter a new area and kill two or three enemies before I have to return to a town and remake my creations. Is this a speccing issue? I'm playing a true shaper, and generally put all of my essence into the creations I make. The few side quests I hadn't done right away, I got no XP for, as I was apparently at a too high level to gain XP from those. The only way I could get XP was by doing the main quest, which kicked my rear end left and right, unless I employed the same tactic as you just mentioned. Before starting out, I had read a lot about the openness which is probably why something went wrong, as I (main quest spoiler) decidedly didn't join a sect, thus not getting any side quests from any factions. The reason was that I honestly didn't care for any of the sects, I just wanted to get off the drat island. In hindsight that might not have been the best decision but that's how I played it. And while the graphics and sound didn't bother me at all, I really started to hate the interface at around the 40 hour mark, which also pushed me to just quit after those 50+ hours. I still plan on playing Geneforge 2, this time with a bit different approach, but first I want a modern interface, so my next Spiderweb game will be Avernum: Escape from the Pit. (Oh, and great OP!)
