I have included leadership/mechanics recommendations for each zone. Even if you optimise your character for combat, you will be grossly outclassed by many enemies throughout most of the game. High leadership and mechanics are crucial on Torment. Now creations do benefit from items that are supposed to provide strength bonuses. In previous Geneforge games, creations did not benefit from bonuses to creation strength provided by items. The creation strength bug in this game has been *fixed*. If you're ever encumbered, unequip your shield first, then your body armour. Most notably, shields and body armour in this game are complete cack. Always prioritise stat point bonuses provided by equipment over protection. Therefore it is not worth investing in strength just to wear armour with a higher defensive rating. The protection provided by heavy armour is over-rated. You want to accumulate enough spellcraft and mental magic skill so that you can reliably terrify/charm/daze any enemy in the game which isn't immume to mental effects. Almost every enemy can be terrified/charmed, excluding golems and undead. Daze (later Strong Daze), Terror, Dominate (later Charm) and Mass Madness are instrumental for crowd control. Mental magic is crucial to surviving on higher difficulty levels. Alternatively, you could go with shock tralls. Once you have war tralls, you can revisit previous areas and clear them up with ease. Until this point, avoid accumulating too much XP. If you play your cards right, you can have one 15% into the game. They have high HP, moderate resistances, a powerful long range attack, and are the cheapest 5th tier creation. War tralls are by far the best creation in the game. Don't know which ones are necessary and can't be found from a canister? Don't worry, that's what the no BS walkthrough is for! Don't buy points in creations/spells from a trainer, unless they are necessary and cannot be found from a canister. Geneforge 5 walkthrough: The no BS version I'll turn your character (ideally a sorceress/lifecrafter, as they are the most effective in GF5) into a lean, mean, fighting machine. Or when you spend 2000 coins on a high end spell, only to find a canister in the next zone. Or when you create an artifact, when those same ingredients could have been used for another artifact more appropriate for your character build. For example, when you fight your way past a horde of 700hp enemies at level 10, only to get a healing pod and 74 coins as your reward. By BS, I mean boring stuff/bothersome slog/bitter struggle. That's why I have created the Geneforge 5 walkthrough: The no BS version. Not only is it the largest Geneforge game, it's relatively non-linear, which means that it's easy to waste your time on stuff that isn't important, and miss stuff that is important. I was replaying Geneforge 5, and realised that it is easy to suffer from burnout, particularly on Torment.
