Making norns more dependent?

Hey ya'll,

Gengineering is not something I'm even vaguely familiar with, so I don't know whether this has been explored much. I assume it has, so: what genetic experiments have been done to make norns less independent and more C1/C2 like?

Can anyone point me towards some breeds/genetic alterations that do this, apart from removing instincts (as I'm pretty sure instincts were part of C1/C2 as well)?

Disabling their sense of smell while leaving their traveling instincts might work. I haven't tried it, but it would make them unable to seek out food sources on their own.

You could certainly start with finding out what the original C1 instincts were, and then stripping the C3/DS instincts back to that, (less the ones that don't make sense) plus navigation instincts.

Genornics might help a little?

I recently hatched some emerald and pixie norns in C3/DS...I don't know how C1/C2-like they were, since it's been years since I really played C1, and I never played C2...but they were awfully stupid compared to the ones I'm used to with C3/DS! They all pretty much starved to death when I got distracted working on agents and forgot to babysit them. :(

Another thing that might help is finding a way to prolong the pregnancy tenfold - from one minute to ten minutes, and have there be a recovery period where the females are sterile. Every new egg would be harder to come by, and therefore more precious - and the mothers would feel the effects of pregnancy more.

P.S.: Geek2Nurse, try the CFE C2 Norns?
