Like the Leper taking off his mask to relieve stress freaks everybody else right the gently caress out.

...I had a game crash and I'm pretty sure all my adventurers just went down to level 0, 0 stress, no trinkets... and my starting crusader doesn't have kleptomania anymore? What on earth is happening.

It's really weird because it seems like my roster is full of all the same characters as before... they've just been booted down to level 0 and seemingly randomized. They all have different quirks from before and most of them have different skills. Everything's borked

A Bone Arbalist/Bandit Fusilier in the third/fourth enemy rank is dangerous as all gently caress, but alone and in the first rank is trivial and really just a speed bump.

DeathSandwich posted:Edit: As far as the people complaining about playing optimally and bitching about characters potentially dying anyways: Think of the game like Classic difficulty XCom ironman. Your role is to minimize risk and try to get your guys through as safely as possible. I think they're overstating how useful that is but you're kinda missing the point if you're telling them that they should be trying to get their guys out safely as an argument against doing that.

I think you're all exaggerating the potential harm of non-chest environment objects, I pretty much always click on everything and the downsides are mostly quite minor while you can still get great stuff like confession booths removing bad quirks, and just more loot on average from cabinets and stuff like that(which can only do minor damage to you if it goes wrong).

TheBlandName posted:That's someone you found on the official or steam forums, right? In any case, I'm trying to think if that's even technically possible (for the kind of player who's broken after a 72 hour break). And the answer I'm coming up with is no. 9 damage to everyone twice from a pair of fusiliers, 9 more damage to everyone from a bloodletter using rain of blows. That could certainly insta-gib some of the squishiest classes if the bleed caused a deathblow. But a crusader at full health would survive. A leper at full health would survive. A hellion would probably survive. So I'm left to conclude that the tale is fictional, the player was at the very most beginning stages of the game where a wipe doesn't matter, or they did make a mistake in party composition but are unwilling to acknowledge it (which is a legitimate criticism of the game, but not an objective one). It was a post that came from the guy who's bad enough that he lost to the first dungeon over and over again, restarting his game every time his roster filled up with stressed-out newbies because he couldn't even find the dismiss button, so I wouldn't be shocked if there's a mistake been made here

paranoid randroid posted:At higher skill levels, noxious blast can do 7-10 on the attack and accrue 3-4 dmg per turn after. Stack them high and you can rack up an impressive amount of damage per turn. Incision has a fairly sick crit rate and inflicts decent bleed. She's not bad, it's just that all the other damage dealers and support characters are better at their roles than her.

That's not the same as having a loss condition, and outside of the individual missions it is not.

THE BAR posted:"Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic ROGUELIKE turn-based RPG." Rogue Legacy was also marketed that way and it's one of the furthest possible games from a roguelike. Calling something X thing does not make it X thing automatically. The permanent loss of individual recruits instead of permanent saves makes it far more X-Com in the sense of progression/player investment loss as punishment than it makes it roguelike.

The concept of permadeath applied to individual characters, with an immortal player overseer type character, even in the context of a fantasy-flavored game, has far more to do with X-Com than Roguelikes. In a roguelike, 'permadeath' means you lose all progress towards winning. It is a full-on loss condition. In this game, it means you lose a small portion of your investment towards winning, even with a party wipe. That is much, much closer to X-Com. The time investment and consequential degree of punishment for losing a fight is far different(aka far more lenient). The random generation is the only other 'roguelike' thing, but there are no randomly generated mystery consumables, no randomly generated equipment or trinkets, and the dungeon generation is very simple. The level of randomization is, again, quite a bit closer to X-Com's randomized character stats and level/enemy layouts than a roguelike. THE BAR posted:I've never liked labeling like that, and I see their use of "roguelike" as more of a buzzword than anything, really.

Marking is still worth it even without additional effects if the enemy is beefy enough that it would take several attacks to go down normally.

I think a challenge run with the following rules would be fun, to try and see what you can do with what you are given: 1. You have to use the skills your heros start with. You can upgrade them, but you cannot purchase new ones. 2. You can't dismiss heros(to prevent just rerolling for ones who happen to have the right set of skils).
