Re: Would Text-based quests be a good addition to the game?

well, coding this should be easy enough to do, but I don't have any experience with the ToME code. I offer no guarantees on when I'll be able to get it done. Someone point me out to the function/file in ToME that shows: 1. the pop up text box 2. the pop up text box where you can make a choice 3. how...

Re: Would Text-based quests be a good addition to the game?

FTL is a crappy thing to compare it with. I put better examples in my first post. Also, "blue answers" are not always the correct one. Personally, I rather there be no blue answers at all, so the user has to make educated picks on what to do. The problem with FTL was that it wasn't very en...

Would Text-based quests be a good addition to the game?

Basically, a text based quest is exactly like it sounds, a quest all in text. The main player chooses options. Success is based on the player's choice and stat/skill score. And there is never a 100% chance of success and never a 100% chance of failure. Some notable games that used text based quests:...

Re: Time to throw myself on your tender mercies...

I had a solipsist that would have beaten the game with, but the game crashed on me. But a couple builds ago, the Inner Demons spell was completely OP on bosses. You can also get an amulet that lets you cast Inner Demon too. Distortion tree wasn't very good, and maelstrom is suicide (why would you wa...

Re: Make a prodigy or class that focuses on item abilities

How about being able to use items from your inventory, that normally have to be worn to be activated? unfortunately, that would make the skill too overpowered because you can just carry items. Instead, something like a "store item ability as one of your skills" as a talent would be better...

Make a prodigy or class that focuses on item abilities

Prodigy: Item abilities takes no turns to use, but item cooldown is increased by 40% or Prodigy: Item abilities takes only half a turn (or 33% of a turn) to use or make a new class like "Item Collector" that focuses on item ability usage. I'd like to make a build that focuses on clever ite...

Re: [RC2]Once More, Shalore Corruptor (the OP DPS Build WINN

Several points: 1. Flames of Uhr'rok give you a global speed bonus. Yes, they cost vim to sustain, but vim regain rather than the size of vim pool is the main issue for corruptors once they have torment up. And it ties into fearscape, which can make some of those fights you had trouble with a breez...

[RC2]Once More, Shalore Corruptor (the OP DPS Build WINNER)

Character Sheet Want a build that does thousands of damage a hit? Want a build that can do splash damage of 10,000+? Want to kill every boss in one or two hits? Then you've come to the right place. This build relies on pure offense and no defense. You are essentially a glass cannon, but it doesn't ...

New AI always targetting escorts?

I don't know if this is a new change to RC1 or not, but it seems every enemy goes straight for the escort. This makes it impossible to protect the escort when there are several ranged/magic casters (such as dreadfell), as the enemy will just ignore my character and only attack the escort. 3 archers ...

[B43] Dieing after farportal beaten will cause "freeze"

After beating the farportal stage, an exit portal will be created. However, if you die, you will get sent to the afterlife. When you return from the afterlife, another exit will be created and the game will freeze as the words you see in the pic will constantly repeat and scroll up. The exact things...
