I stop whenever I get frustrated of dying with anything other than Transmuters (imo Transmuters are too easy--they get me into bad habits so I die when I play characters who don't have imba spells right off the bat). I still don't understand how you're supposed to play non-Spriggan assassin-types; I keep killing off my attempts at VpAs lol. Bad habits  Carnivorous Sheep wrote: Now go beat Nethack Nethack has balance problems.... It's too easy to become basically invulnerable (anyone who dies after the Castle did something really really stupid, since you'll never die to HP loss after using the wand of wishing unless you waste your wishes. Despite this, you still have to slog through Gehennom--I've never died in Gehennom) and Elbereth is way too powerful. And the game punishes you for experimentation, which means you have to read spoilers to be any good at it. It's an okay game but I think Crawl is a lot better. And even though much of the game is just a timesink it's still not an easy game compared to most games out there. The end is easy but getting there is not. --- I haven't played Angband (from what I know of it I think Crawl is more what I want from a roguelike) but I might try it out if I get bored. If Angband is nearly as hard as Nethack or Crawl (the winrate on CAO is about 0.5% and the winrate on NAO is just under 1%) then winning is still a pretty noteworthy achievement! Congrats! | ||

Edit: And yeah, for the above, Angband is crazy hard, and winning even once is a significant accomplishment. Think like Diablo without graphics except the only difficulty setting available is hardcore hell++++++. | ||
