Scales that are accurate enough to tell you that a potion of water weighs 4 stones, and big enough to tell you that a moloch armor weighs 15.000 stones? So how much do these scales weigh?
2) How exactly does teleportation work? When you teleport, your backpack obviously teleports with you... Is this because it's attached to your body? If you were to encounter a cave lion and he sinks his fangs into your arm, the cave lion would be attached to your body too, but he does NOT hitch a ride on the teleport train. How does that work?
3) Do mist elves take damage from eating iron rations?
4) What exactly is a scroll of identify, is it a giant list of every single item available in the game? Is it comparable to, say, a tablet device with a single app, that when you take a picture of the item, identifies the item and tells you what it is?
- If it's cursed, would it be an illegally downloaded app that removes itself after identifying only one item?
- If it's uncursed, is it a free trial that tells you about items of a certain type and then advertises for the premium version?
- If it's blessed, is it the premium version?
5) Consider the following course of action. Watching a Gordon Overkill video on Youtube, I saw him do this: On D:50, he reads a scroll of familiar summoning, which gives him a tame greater earth elemental. He zaps a wand of monster creation, which gives him a second greater earth elemental. He orders GEE #1 to attack GEE #2, and we have a duel of GEE's. Whenever one of them gets injured, he casts a healing spell on it, so none of them will die, so they can continue the fight. So in a nutshell: he summons two creatures, befriends them, and makes them fight each other indefinitely. I can hardly think of a more sadistic thing to do. But here's the big punchline: he gets rewarded for LAWFUL BEHAVIOR! Let me try and paint a more realistic picture for you: let's say you were to keep two ferocious dogs and make them fight each other. Whenever a dog gets seriously injured, you perform surgery on it so it can fight again. You do this over and over again. Would you consider this a lawful thing to do, just because you keep on healing the dogs? This is the kind of twisted sense of justice that the ADOM gods have. Now am I alone in this opinion or does anyone else think this is pretty sick?
