Aside from being cursed/doomed, I've also wondered if the RNG has any means of deciding how frequent wilderness encounters are, or if it's purely the RNG itself at work. I've never had them as...
You have a good point. That would have been the best move to make, regardless of spell power. I assumed my spells would bounce like a little kid in a moonwalk ride. Still should have tried, though.....
Well I did say I was hoping I could bolt him, but I never actually did. I knew any spell I had at level 1 wouldn't do crap, so my instinct was to try and get away, or at least make some distance to...
That PC's decision to become an adventurer was indeed a regrettable one.
Well, if I was lighter I may have been able to move in a more defensive manner, but still probably not enough to create any...
Better late than never! :D
Congrats on that win. I've never savescummed. It's been really tempting, but I want to win a game the first time without dying. Obviously, with my play style, It will probably take me another 10...
True.
Level 12 is not too rare for me, but I still have yet to actually finish a game after playing ADOM for 7 years (safe to say I suck).
I was a bit happy about this PC though, because I had...
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I don't like to create new topics if I don't have to. So, I was wondering, what is everyone's current stance on pool-sipping?
This quote pretty much...
Yes, it was just like that (lol), and he was a chaos brother. He was right next to me as soon as I entered, so I couldn't leave. I was hoping I could bolt him to death, but he was on me like stink on...
LOL

Just started a gray elf wizard. Read the spell books and took the quests in Terinyo. Went to DD right away to get Keethrax generated.
First level of DD: "You feel a surge of power." An artifact...
I go for healing just about every time. No doubt herbalism comes in very handy for many situations, but the healing skill can (and most likely will, at some points) make the difference between life...
Awesome! While I've never suffered a game crash in ADOM, it's always nice to see it get some attention/tweaks. I personally can't stand tablet PCs, so I eagerly await the Linux/Windows port!
Don't have much to add to this thread, but I just wanted to say that even though I've been playing ADOM for at least 7 years, I just played through Sage for the first time yesterday. I gotta say, I...
Hey, thanks! :p
What I was hoping would turn into an action movie-worthy escape attempt, ended up being a foolish (yet amusing) death. I think being on the "Coward" tactic upon death was more than...
Heinous way to go. Was on my way through the wilderness to the CoC for the first time when I was ambushed by a group of lost souls in the swamplands. Eventually cornered and the only way through was...
Well done, and congrats! Indeed, that is impressive dex. Your character must have been a missle machine in that game.
So I had a nice human monk coming along. Nothing too exciting about this game. Was lucky enough to gain both teleportitis and teleport control through corpse consumption. I was assigned a white worm...
Thanks for the tips/info, guys. While using the weapon was as tempting as it could be, I didn't want the barehanded skills to fall to the wayside. Just in case, for any stupid reason, something...
I usually try my luck with DH, because I just lack the patience necessary to traverse the AF. If I have a wand of digging and a wand of door creation, I'll run through the north end of the forest,...
So, I died for pretty much the same reason as every other person does: overconfidence.
Pecan, the trollish healer, had lots of promise. Started with a strength of 30 and toughness of 26. Brick...
There is much to be done when it comes to balancing out difficulty, of course. The game is still in it's early stages. Thomas seems to be focused more on adding content right now, but in time, I'm...
How are you guys getting tasked with such difficult monsters? Does it depend on your level when you take the quest? I take it on as soon as I meet him, which is usually when I'm about level 8-10, and...
Perhaps I'm a masochist without realizing it, but I like the fact that death is final in ADOM/JADE. Sure, it's frustrating. I've cursed at the screen plenty of times, but I think it just makes...
