Geneforge 4: Rebellion
2006 video game
Geneforge 4: Rebellion is the fourth video game in the Geneforge series of role-playing video games created by Spiderweb Software.
Features
Unlike the previous three Geneforge games, the player character is no longer a Shaper, and is not restricted to the original three classes (Shaper, Guardian, and Agent). The player can choose from five separate classes (all rebels), including playing a servile, which can alter the way other Rebels or Shapers speak to the player.
The screen in Geneforge 4 is considerably larger, with a bigger map, and smaller icons, leaving much more room for viewing. The graphics were improved somewhat, with better animations and cut-scenes than the previous three games. The sounds and general flow of the game were still the same.
Plot
The player as a prospective rebel and General Greta make a hasty journey to the Southforge citadel losing other members of their group on the way. The player is to be transformed via the Geneforge to become powerful enough to lead the rebels against the Shaper Army.
With Southforge about to fall to the Shapers, the Rebels prepare to evacuate to the last safehouse in the Ilya Province. It's at this point the player can make a serious choice that will alter the plotline: Either secretly join the Shapers, or continue to help the Rebels.

Why this record matters

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
