Hey guys I've just recently started ADOM, yesterday in fact. I have quite a strong nethack/crawl background, have ascended nethack upwards of 25 times, and won crawl over 10, so I know what I'm doing in terms of roguelikes, but not in ADOM
After a brief start with a random char (which died in the wilderness to some hobgoblins :P) I listened to some advice on #adom.
I've now had 3 goes with orcish barbarians; the first starved after messing around in the plains, the second died at level 8 to a steel golem (I'm guessing I shouldn't have gone there) but the third is progressing quite nicely. So far I've done the peaceful healing quest, converted mainly to neutral (N- alignment) and then joined in the fun in the main dungeon, clearing the graveyard and reaping the rewards from the dwarf leader. Where should a newbie like me go next?
My stuff:
