Re: My six year old daughter loves ToME

Computers are definitely the future. I enjoy them and build them. Although I must admit that I am not really a phone or tablet person. I like them and use them it's just I much prefer desktops. My 16 year old neighbor is the opposite - he uses those tablets and doesn't know the first thing about com...

Second chance at escort quests

I have found that as soon as the player comes across an escort, one can save the game, and if the escort mission fails one can alt-tab out and close - and get another chance. I don't know if this is intended, but perhaps it the game autosaved upon the death of the escort, as it did with the death of...

Re: Help a noob with his Berserker?

http://te4.org/characters/108419/tome/e38dcafd-769f-41e1-81dc-a1b3b0a6f086 I bet I win the game with this one. I am still a long way off, but I've taken to heart all the recommendations in this thread. This character isn't perfect. I still need to make a few little changes here or there (particularl...

Re: Spending tons of time digging in dungeons - worth it?

I get that, I just don't understand why some walls require it and others don't. And what exactly could I use?

Re: My six year old daughter loves ToME

No they do not ahve it lucky, it is so easy now that they do not need to try and understand stuff abotu the computers and soon it'll look like magic to most :/ I meant in terms of computer capabilities - kids these days are growing up in a time when computers are far more advanced. But you make an ...

Re: My six year old daughter loves ToME

Wow. Is your daughter a genius or a prodigy? When I was 6 years old I probably wouldn't have been able to figure out Dungeons of Dredmor, let alone ToME. Children get exposed to computers and games at a much younger age these days. That's my excuse anyway ;) I agree with your point, though in truth...

Re: Spending tons of time digging in dungeons - worth it?

I would suggest playing a character that has Vision from divination or if you can get it the Burning Star. This is, of course, always nice for various reasons, but more to the point it will give you some idea of the likelyhood of you missing stuff when you can't see stuff and also a better idea of ...

Introduce her to Stone Soup or Nethack! If she figures those out I really will feel stupid.

Re: Spending tons of time digging in dungeons - worth it?

Then I'll probably stop digging for the time being unless it's to create a chokepoint.

Thanks guys.

Re: Spending tons of time digging in dungeons - worth it?

So far I haven't discovered anything but alternate pathways. Don't know the tactical value of digging as my character is overpowered anyway. I was thinking more along the lines of finding extremely rare loot. Since time is totally unimportant in this game, it doesn't bother me to spend 10 years digg...
