Sadly Qud's bananas are much less tasty although just as deadly My real question is why does this game have so many monkeys? It feels almost like Donkey Kong or Time Splitters amuayse fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jul 22, 2015 |

My favorite box cover quote for Qud was from a comment left from someone returning the game (You get to see the comments left, if any, by people doing returns.) "It's like playing a book written in another language."

I went to look at the Qud discussion forum for the new patch notes and made the mistake of clicking on a couple of the other topics (mostly complaining about the graphics, lol). I found this masterpiece:quote:Books are for women. Of course educational books are exception.

I found a few gems, but they're mostly low effort trolls so I didn't bother reposting them. I've occasionally answered questions on the steam forums, they're usually a mix of innocent newbies with only a handful of stupid.

I'm fairly new to rougelikes and jumped on the Qud bandwagon a few days ago and I'm enjoying it despite getting creamed a lot, but I've got a few questions/issues. 1) How does the off-hand weapon mechanic work? I found the ambidextrous tree you can pump your chance of swinging but does the type of weapon affect it? Eg. having a dagger vs a battle axe in the left, and does it affect your primary? 2) The extra arms mutation seems to spawn me holding three lit torches and always I burn them all down a bit before I notice. I also managed to wield a two handed sword in my left hands at one point, is that meant to be possible?  I made it to level four (!!) but now when I try to load it the game just crashes out. Anything I can do to revive it? (This is OS X btw.)edit: Between failing to load the game and taking the time to post this steam did another update and now it's properly telling me my save is outdated.

It doesn't affact your primary, and the weapon type in your offhand doesnt matter at all, other than daggers which have a skill that doubles(!) the chance you attack with it and has several other skills that buff specifically offhand dagger attacks.

I got tired of being smacked in the face and dying as a mutant in Qud, so I tried playing as a melee-focused true kin instead. I feel like I'm doing a whole lot better, but is not having the Most Optimal arsenal of mindlasers and extra appendages/exoskeletons just going to bite me in the rear end in a huge way later or something?

You're going to die screaming eventually anyway; it's just a question of how soon it happens.  I expect it's entirely possible for a melee-spec character to survive Bethesda Susa (the last plot dungeon, so far), though I doubt it'll be as easy for them as it would be for the laser rave mutant or other characters with powerful ranged attacks. If nothing else, ranged characters don't have to worry about losing limbs to sawhands and the like.

Unique spawns are nuts right now I just had a psychic laser deathraver die to some crazy-rear end psychic super hermit who spawned in Red Rock, wasted my evil twin and all his time clones, wasted all my time clones, and then wasted me, all by machine-gunning confusion, Sunder Mind, and Cryokinesis all over the place. I was level 2 or 3. The previous character went two floors down into the watery tunnel beneath Joppa and got instantaneously atomized by a huge pack of Dawngliders the turn he went down the stairs.

StarkRavingMad posted:How much exploration were you doing versus just blasting for the stairs as quickly as possible? Being well-stocked is seriously critical though, and one of the hardest parts imo about running a blaster build -- it's not a matter of having guns to replace the ones that get shot off, but heat sinks and power generators (and tractor beams, to a lesser extent) become really critical to not going dry in an extended firefight and running out of any one of them will cause serious problems. When I did find an exit I'll usually try to explore the surrounding zone or two, since I can almost certainly out-run anything trying to pursue me. Random suggestion : It would be neat if wheels had something to make them more obviously attractive over legs (which have lower penalties) and hover units (which are generally faster). Either something like something where the time to move decreases the more you move in a straight line, or being able to toggle a "Rolling" mode on the wheels, where you continuously move in one direction, even while you're firing your weapons.

I recently died in Qud to some kind of enemy just called "Evil", which attacked me in Joppa. I don't know what it was, because I didn't even get time to look at it!

I seem to recall the dev saying that the perk wheels have over legs or flight units is abundance. They're just easier to find generally. Speaking of cogmind propulsion systems, I'm pleased with the buff to treads with regard to recoil. One day I'll get to the surface with a pure blaster build... one day.

I got to -4 today going mostly heavy blasting but a squad of those nasty late game soldier types with penetrators herded me screaming off of -5 with literally all my gear destroyed. Couldn't recoup enough before I got trapped between a group of Viruses and a Beast.

 I seem to have broken the quick display of skills somehow. I tried changing it, toggling it, saving and reloading, stays stuck like that, with the top part unchanging and the bottom half updating but covering the normal hp display which is pretty dangerous.

Yarrington posted:Qud: Anybody played on a MacBook? I saw some steam reviews that mentioned the laptop key mappings were nearly unusable, is that accurate? One of the initial techpatches should have fixed that. Though I'd be interested to hear otherwise. You can remap everything, so at worst it's only an issue till you remap stuff, which should only take a few minutes. If it needs it and someone makes one, I'd be interested in getting a macbook default keymap file.

Sorry to steer the conversation away, but I just downloaded ADOM to give it a go and I can't get the tutorial to start, neither in the graphics version, nor the console version. In the graphics I click Start Tutorial and it takes me back to the main menu, in the console, the 's' key just does nothing. Anyone know anything about this? e: NVM, I'm a dumb, after not finding anything in google, i discovered their bug forum, it's a known issue. Sorry...
