Board 8 > Legend of Grimrock is the hypest s***.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have never played one of these kinds of games before.

Also I'm totally stuck.

And I should hate everything about this game.

BUT GOD DAMN.

I've really been enjoying it so far, gotten to level 10.

Can't wait to see what fans do when a level editor gets released.

Also, quicksave got added today, thank goodness. The constant manual saving was such a pain.

Level editor is going to be amazing. Also looking forward to expansions.

QS was just added today then? Thank god. I was also worried that QS was always there and that Vinny was just pulling a Brad in the Quick Look.

Is the dungeon randomized? I'm stuck really early on in the part right after a secret door you open by putting a torch on the wall, but I have no idea if that's something in every game.

There's also a cell door with some arrows behind it. Opening that door is currently my #1 mission in life.

The dungeon is not randomized. Are you asking for a hint, or just kind of venting? I've finished the game, but I'm well aware how annoying it can be to have a solution spoiled for you when you don't want it.

Dying breath, light my blade and sing in shadow! Omega!

Dungeons aren't randomized. I get that the devs were going for a more puzzle focused game, but I'm really hoping that the level editor gives you enough freedom to make something like Nethack complete with randomized dungeons.

Protip once you eventually get bow/arrows: bow damage is based on STR, not DEX. So the DEX points you pick up in the Bow skill tree aren't making you hit any harder.

Found it. Didn't know you could grab close object through gates.

Arrows...BUT NO BOW.

UGHHHHH.

Geeze, so ranged rouges are gonna need all 3 stats leveled? Expensive character.

Although...I guess Willpower isn't as important for bow rogues as it is for melee rogues?

I believe the only thing willpower does is give you more maximum energy.

I can't recall ever having a problem with energy for my non-mage characters, but it's possible I just wasn't paying attention. Are you having energy problems with your fighters or rogues?

Not yet, I was just assuming I eventually would.

Mage needs more willpower, definitely. I went ice, don't like fire and earth magic in general and I figured ice would be more offensive than air. The row ice spikes have come in handy so far.

LtM if you liked Dredmor and this game you should play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (with graphics tiles on)
