I can't help but enjoy the Geneforge 5 demo

Still too expensive to me. Even though I have enough money to buy let's say, Geneforge 5, getting these money was way too much work to spend on a single digital copy of a game.
Actually, the demo is also the game. You're buying the key. I'd say to get it if you have the money and credit card.

And he sends you a CD, if you want it. It's nothing too special, but it is, indeed, a portable copy that doesn't need any keys or checks to get it to work. He ships them like shit, though, so it may come beat up. At least they're really quick on the draw with replacement CDs if the worst happens.

That's about 9 days of my work after paying food and bills. To be honest, I have spent last three weeks working full time after school. So, for three last weeks after returning from the school, I sat to my computer and spend the rest of my day working, this included working on weekends. I'm fucking exhausted.
When I buy something, I want to buy something that justifies all that time and effort. This doesn't. Maybe if it would come in a box with a nice manual and background information and stuff like that (maybe an artbook and map), I'd consider buying it for that price.

I have never played a geneforge game but now that gfx seems decent, i might just give it a try.

What old RPGs are similar to the geneforge games? (BG2, ULTIMAVII, etc)

There isn't a clear comparison. It's tempting to say U7 because of the scale and openness of the world, but G5 is turn-based, non-linear, has factional and subfactional shenanigans, and there isn't really an equivalent of the shaping mechanics or the leadership/mechanics skills in U7. Think of it as open-world and faction-driven, but with a non-linear main quest.
