b_d posted:time to wade into the rogue like thread and complain about surprises edit: he made the drat thread. meh, it’s fair to prefer Crawl’s design philosophy over NetHack’s. I’m trying to meet ADOM on its own terms but I will probably complain about more before I get a win. oddium posted:yep. dredmor did for roguelikes what sim city 2013 did for city builders you’re probably joking but a lot of people like Dredmor. A lot of people like the objectively terrible Rogue Legacy too so there’s no accounting for taste.

I've made it to the mid game of ADOM exactly once. It requires way too much constant optimal play to get anywhere. Like even opening a door was a process.

Made it to uh the mid game? (saved the sage, finished all Dwarftown quests) for the first time with this stack of characters. Feel like I'm doing a little better about not getting killed immediately nowadays, mostly by staying out of the puppy cave. On the other hand it's around slightly before this point each run where I realize that I don't know what the hell I'm doing this late in the game and it's a big rear end time investment to get here. On the third hand I'm sure glad I got precrowned with Nature's Companion.

I'm stuck in a 'clear village dungeon > get killed by something I've never seen before' loop. Or I get a wilderness ambush that I don't know how to escape from. Still, having more fun with the game than I've ever had before.

Steam version isn't starting at all for me. Feels bad, I wanted to check out some of the new bullshit. Anyway I usually just beelined for the Small Mountain Cave for reasons I can't clearly remember.

Cleared ToeF for the first time, nerve-wracking as an archer with no rings of ice or good artifact melee weapons but I shot those fuckers to death. Then I found this whip in Darkforge, probably should have gone there first lol.quote:It is a dragon slayer.

Nice! Keep your guard up but if you can handle the ToeF you should be able to coast for a while.

I wound up just dipping them in holy water 40 at a time and they held up better, took forever but it worked. Don't know whether to keep going in the CoC or to do some of the optional dungeons, I was born under Book so I might try the Rift.

Lol the minotaur maze. Back when I used to play a lot it was not even remotely worth doing, I dunno if it's been changed?

The axe is supposedly better and the emperor randomly drops more stuff, dropped 4 potions of cure corruption for me. Still a miserable area.
|
# ? Oct 4, 2023 14:14 |

the axe is actually th highest-damaging melee weapon in the game, on par with the trident of the red rooster. still an absolutely fuckin miserable slog though lol

I hate traps so much that I've settled on a Human Assassin as my first serious attempt at winning. Extra skill points to put into Alertness and Detect Traps.
|
# ? Oct 5, 2023 00:26 |
|
Dwarfs of any class start with detect traps as well, probably a little easier to keep alive.
|
# ? Oct 5, 2023 00:54 |

I like humans because the extra skill points seem really valuable on backgrounds that have many great skills. Also I'm already considering thief instead of assassin because their class powers seem really strong.

I win.quote:
The big changes since 1.0.whatever are the random dungeons, the Rolf quest (which I locked myself out of before finding out about it), more artifacts, and more and WAY gentler corruptions. Poison hands and mana battery still both popped up but every new corruption I saw was almost entirely not worth removing, some were just pure positives without even appearance penalties. Time to play something else I guess. Or fill up the high score list with human farmers...

Nice man, I'm probably still weeks/months away from a win. I keep dying around xl12. Speaking of, what's a reliable way to get a good early thief weapon that doesn't involve burning three talents on an heir gift?

# ? May 13, 2024 06:34 |

Well you're not getting anything as good as the heir gift early lol. I'd pick up a spear and shield and start using those, there's no penalty for cross training weapons and pole arms get good DV bonuses as they level. But that heir dagger is definitely worth playing a gnome and burning three talents to get.
