    Default Let's Play the New ADOM!

    There we go again!

    I've switched to using Open Broadcaster Software - much more comfortable - and obviously I've switched to prerelease 20. Of course, after my vigorous insistence that elementalists are just fine the way they are, I get put on the spot. I refuse to adopt any common sense - I'm not that keen on playing for 30 episodes again - and start out with Treasure Hunter and a UD run. Watch me toil!

    This should be entertaining, thanks.

    That's some amazing news!
    Already watched the first episode... from the very first fight on it was bloody exciting! I think I would not have dared to enter the small cave/unremarkable dungeon with a character as fragile as Cheryl, but fame and glory will be hers if she should succeed!
    Might have been beneficial if that goblin rockthrower sayed alive a little longer?

    Yeah, I'm still permanently slightly confused. What I meant is that I wanted to give a quick introduction to the new races and classes, but I always had the intention to randomize both. I was toying with jumping in as a ratling duelist, but a) Gordon did that already if I'm not mistaken and b) it would have meant that I can't really play with spells and ranged combat in the new interface. Playing an elementalist - hurthling, to boot - is a pretty sweet deal; right from the start I get to use everything.

    @Silfir: I recommend that you delete the adom.cfg and adom.kbd files because you are missing some of the new features otherwise (like colored messages, blood splatters, "repeat last command" key, etc.). You should backup the files first if you have made any changes yourself.

    If you are playing the Windows version, they are now located in the "Documents\ADOM\adom_dat" directory.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I'm liking the gore already. Feels murdery good.

    Hadn't activated it in time for part 2 though. Some weirdness going on with missiles; the minimap seems to snap back to where the monsters is you just shot at in some unfortunate cases. I also think rocks, especially individual ones, are too hard to distinguish from the dungeon floors; though I do realize that's non-trivial to fix.

    Lol, lots of shades of gray.

    It's like my workplace where we have a non-stop "who makes the worst joke" competition and loudly congratulate each other on getting close to it. I'd say you'd have a good shot at it.
