ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Gather the threads does not work as described in the skill description. Supposed skill effect at my character level is +9.36 spellpower in the first turn, then a cumulative +1.56 every turn for five turns. The actual effect is: Turn 1: +3 Turn 2: +1 Turn 3: +0 Turn 4: +0 Turn 5: +0 Turn 6: +0 Turn 7...

Well, any feature can be fun if done well, I suppose, I just don't really see how stunning can be "done well." The biggest improvement so far seems to have been nerfing it, which only goes on to show that certain things are best improved by getting rid of them entirely. :) I'll certainly a...

To be fair Baker, Tome4 is moving away from the required gear set up you're talking about. Yeah, I noticed that, which is why I said that insta-kill effects like stun and paralysis are particularly bad ideas in this case. They'd be a step back towards a situation where you need certain equipment, a...

The problem is that what you describe isn't really a challenge so much as an arbitrary cut-off-point for people with poor equipment. Do you really think it's fun to step around a corner, get insta-paralyzed by an enemy you couldn't see and die without being capable of doing anything about it, all be...

Effects like paralyze, stun and confuse are bad design on principle, since they take control of the game away from the player, which is something that should never happen. Especially in a self-proclaimed "tactical" roguelike, the survival of your character should always lie in your hands, ...

Hi darkgod, haven't been around in a while. Damn you change things fast, don't you? Anyway, bug report as per thread title. When an alchemist has no gems equipped in his arrow slot, you can't access the talent menu. This is obviously a bad thing if you don't have Extract Gems and Create Alchemist Ge...

It's not like ToME ever cared a whole lot for canon as it is, so I can see how that wouldn't be a lot of an argument for some people. It's really one of these things where I think gameplay should come before lore, since spellcasters are one of the Big Three base playstyles (the others being melee an...

how about a shop in both bree and minas tirith (and the other towns when they are implemented). this shop is a caravan master, he assigns quests to guard a caravan to reach the caravan master in another city. gold payout is based on distance to the other city as well as # of hostiles killed and # o...

Eh, I just said "screw this" and fixed up the module so stuff sells for 80% of value instead of 10%. Makes it hurt less when you accidentally buy something instead of selling, too. :lol: Thanks for the advice, though, although I still think that a somewhat smaller divide between "real...

well, you would have 10 extra gold if you took items back and sold them Well, duh :) But considering how many "trash items" sell only for 0.1 gold or so, this is often not worth the bother, eventually cluttering up the level with stuff for which you have absolutely no use in any sense. Th...

Getting 500gp eventually, if you're lucky, is nice and all, but that doesn't help you a whole lot when you need 10 gold right now . I'd prefer if sales prices were higher all across the board and excessively valuable exceptions like this toned down in response. Now that the talent system has been re...

That's one horrible idea. Seriously, if unlocking the mere ability to assign your own stats becomes a feature in addition to all the other unlocking you already have to do, I'll stop playing this game.

Are ALL the monsters high level when this happens, or just a few? Out Of Depth generation is supposed to occur now and then, but not with all the enemies of on a level. If it's the former then you might want to file a bug report, something like this shouldn't happen.

I had a scroll of teleport and lots of phase door (i had already used a phase door when he was on 10%), but i wasn't totally sure what teleport would do. Detect monsters is also nice but they are quite expensive in the shop. Phase Door is a short-range teleport that will probably only put you on th...

How about a classic? Talking to the townsfolk, you find out that the town is being plagued by a vampire who lives in one of the buildings. You have to talk to the other townsfolk to figure out which building is his mansion and then fight your way through the vampire's undead servant before confronti...
