I got the 32 heat statue then burned out. It kinda suffers by that point cause you've turned off so many options the deck building decision aspect fades away

I keep telling myself I'll go back sometime and try for this but it'll never happen

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
hades is over after you party with the olympians imo. they did a really good job of having the roguelihe part feel like it's progressing alongside the story pretty much all the way up til the end, then once the story's over the gameplay progression might go a little teensy bit further but it's pretty much done. you can round out whatever you haven't accomplished, but at that point it's more for completionism.
it's something you maybe revisit in like 5-10 years time just to experience it again, but not something you continuously play forever

Qud is amazing and anyone who likes ADOM or Elder Scrolls or Fallout or Dune or good games should play it

How's ADOM been since they started selling it? I only ever made it to the fire temple in 1.0, got a couple of mindcrafters killed in the Steam version but didn't get far.

I know a lot of people are on the fence about this game but has anyone mentioned life yet? Or is life only a true roguelike to atheists? I guess you don't really get any bonuses from samsara..

the default graphics have a great aesthetic, i haven't dabbled in these more traditional roguelikes that much but i usually try to find a tileset. this just has such a strong look

It's easier than the pre 1.0 versions I used to play, especially with all the item suffixes and prefixes. And you won't immediately crash the game if a drakeling spits in the fire temple and the other weird bugs it used to have

Mindcrafter is a challenge class imo, no getting around it

the original idea was for dualie pistols late in development and the animator was like "so whos gonna make the 800 animations of him holding dualies in every position because its not me" and they settled for the rifle lol

I've never liked ADOM very much but it's been clicking with me recently. I'd like to break the game with a Wizard but I need to get one beyond level 10 first.

Elementalist is not as good overall i think but might be easier in the early game. But wizard is so sick once you get Acid Ball, I think I actually burned a wish on that spellbook on my winning wizard run

it's just kind of a common sense thing that the boulder that drops in front of the door won't hit you if you aren't in front of the door

there's also a less obvious thing that trapped doors have a slightly different message when kicked without breaking which might help future decision making
