ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Oh, yes, i'm playing adventure. I remember "roguelike required" was stated for Insane, but for Nightmare it's not, so i've forgotten this. Thanks.

Hmm, i've done some things on Nightmare (namely Arena, Curse Lifter and lvl 10) in RC2, and still got only standart achievements...

i like the idea of race-specific classes. Stone Warden looks and plays nice, especially synergy between already existing racial abilities and their upgrade with class passives. For Thalore, something plant-oriented would be cool. You live in the forest, enjoying your peaceful life in harmony with Na...

So. Beaten the game in new version, what can i say... 1) Cleave is cool. Especially now, when monsters can push each other forward, so you engage 2+ enemies more often than in older version. But... Still, something is wrong with Cleave, Repel and Surge. They are high in skill trees. They cannot be u...

Pretty much the same. Windows XP. I can't even change resolution properly without game hanging, have to do this manually via config file. High resolutions like 1280x1024 FS (my monitor's standart) or 1200x1024 Windowed hang the game at start, or after alt-tab. Smaller ones like 1152x864 work and all...

Just to be clear, are you calling Surge mediocre? Because, ironically, if you asked basically 90% of the people ingame chat they would call Cleave/Repel worthless and Surge borderline ridiculous. I'd be forced to agree with them, too--Cleave barely picks up until you're past 30-35 or so and for me ...

Sure, dual wield has it's positive sides, but... 1) Okay, we take points off Str, Wil and Con, put them in Dex, for what? To use daggers, deal more damage with them. What else Dex gives? Accuracy? Dominate works fine for defence reduction, and as author says, it can even be skipped without problems....

Ok, thanks. I'll give Cleave a try.

Destroying eldritch eyes that the headless horror has floating around reduces its resistances to normal levels. Oh, thanks. But domination+Frenzy+few hits also works fine. And many other enemies with high resistances have no such weakness. Have you tried torques of psychoportation? Sure, i'm not sa...

Khm? 0 points in strife? And how to kill enemies with 100% resist all without Dominate? I don't mean Atamathon, rare/unique Headless Horror can have this. Also, if you go for AM (what i usually do), then you'll have no teleport runes. And what to do, if you are cornered by strong enemies, and there ...

Hm... This was not fixed yet, even in b43? Arrrgh. Such a promising talent - and not working.
