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.

Trying ADOM 3.3.3 and forgot how much I hated traps in this game, love it when half my equipment just explodes.

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.

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.

Fungah! posted:holy poo poo good work lol, thats where all my archer runs get pwned. cant believe you did it with no rings of ice, did you find an eternium bow or somethin Oh I did have Sun's Messenger so that was covered lol, I was more worried about my ammo because as soon as I equipped my main stack of arrows they started blowing up every other turn. 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.

The axe is supposedly better and the emperor randomly drops more stuff, dropped 4 potions of cure corruption for me. Still a miserable area.

Dwarfs of any class start with detect traps as well, probably a little easier to keep alive.

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...

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.

Doing the same start loop every game wears me out (Terinyo quests -> Holeinthewall kill + guild leader -> hope I don't get ambushed on my way to pop in and out of small cave -> start playing), especially when I get killed immediately after.

Was it a vault or a tension room? You get level messages regardless but a tension room full of titans is a way nastier surprise lol. It wasn't the dwarven halls was it? Generally if you can do all of Thrundarr's quests I think you should be able to make it down to the wall of flames. I usually do first three quests to get the wand and open the ogre cave stash, leave to do the pyramid and dwarf graveyard, then finish the last two. Lots of great treasure graves to rob in the graveyard if you've got undead slaying ammo/death ray resistance/don't give a drat.

Was thinking about picking up Ultimate ADOM, which is supposed to be really bad anyway, and then heard that the animated forest is still in it but now you can only move in four directions.

It does not. If you're messing with pools the "you feel controlled" message is for stun resistance, "feel like jumping around" is tele control. Dick game.

Stone statues, they spawn peacefully in the middle but turn hostile every time you pick something up, use an item, or cast a spell, and then new ones immediately spawn where they were standing. Luckily I'm a wizard who just gave Rolf my good weapon.

Beat Andor Drakan, went with a gray elf wizard after getting enough farmers killed to unlock the big temple and wound up just rolling over the whole game. Two cool new artifacts: unpick axe is guaranteed if you go through the huge trouble of unlocking Rolfs fortress, but it's a unbreakable pickaxe that can freaking create walls. Potion belt makes potions weightless, immune to destruction, and dippable in bigger stacks so you can get a lot of good poo poo from exchange potions. Time for a break for real. This game has a lot of bs in it and it's really tedious in way too many places, but it feels like a grand adventure in a way that Nethack and Crawl don't quite get to.

Fell down the Angband hole. Found Forasgil at 350', looking forward to getting exploded by a chromatic yeek at 500' in ten to twelve hours.

I like the idea of an infinite big sprawling dungeon with a ton of stuff to pick up, in practice it's not so great filling up your inventory multiple times in a single level and trying to figure out what to leave behind forever. I think I'm about to hit the same wall I always do where the game really wants me to have certain abilities (right now, see invisible and confusion resistance?) and I'm going to get bored to death looking for that.
