    Default Do you remember your first death?

    And I mean your FIRST adom death! I do! I had myself a drakeling paladin. In the village dungeon. First floor was a tension level. I of course had no idea what "You feel a certain tension" meant. I found a locked door I couldnt open. Read the manual and found out I can kick doors down. "Cool! I can kick down a door!!!" is what I thought to myself. I did just that. And a stone block fell on my head. Ow almost killed me. Behind it was a tension room full of rats. I didnt think rats would be much of a problem so I dove right in instead of retreating into the hallway. I got surrounded. Long before I Discovered being surrounded gives penalties to hit and dv. The rats quickly engulfed the poor dragon man, consuming him alive. Fun!

    btw this was way back in the day of adom. I think it was gamma 6 or something. maybe. All i know is there was no tiny girl, no talents, and plenty of bugs. no annoying vortices either.

    Memory is hazy. I think it wasn't starvation. I also THINK it was a human fighter. Everything else is blank. Version was 1.0.0 - I found that one on some freeware site.
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    I don't remember my death, but I'm sure it was glorious. I was a Dark Elf Assassin. I just felt that seemed to be fitting.

    Knowing my general approach to life, I am pretty sure my first death would have been in Terinyo, either by baby dragon, sheriff, thug or shopkeeper. Then lots of starvation deaths after that of course

    GE monk. Wilderness. I forget what animal did the deed.

    ADOM was my first roguelike, and I didn't know how to
    proceed. I liked the story parts of the manual, and the
    race/class differences, but couldn't be bothered to read
    the rest (like commands). After trying and failing to enter
    Terinyo for a while, I just wandered around the wilderness
    until I was killed.
    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

    Dark elf assasin, died of starvation without meeting a monster. Viewed my inventory in the death messages and discovered that I still had spider bread, decided to read the manual before I tried again.
