ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I like the solid block being used for walls. It would be nice to change just trees to a green '#' though. It would better reflect the 'porous' nature of forest in comparison to solid rock. I could do it with the "%" comand but I would have to do it every time. Is this a hard coded item or ...

I like either Gnome for the free free action or High Elf for the free See Invisible. Both are real life savers in the early game.

Been playing ToMe for a couple of years now. Moria and Angband before that. Never won on Moria or Angband but won ToMe after about 3-4 months of playing. The first few months, I just couldn't break through the Character Level 30'ish barrier. I don't know what changed or how I did it but now pretty m...

I have only played Moria, Angband and ToMe and the hardest, by far was Moria, followed closely by Angband and then ToMe. I know Moria wasn't one of the possible selections (since it is a predecessor, not a variant of Angband), but I just had to mention it since it is still the king in being almost u...

Wheeeee! A new Quest! I love Quests!

{Goes off to start a Troll haftedmaster}

Although I think it would be fun to level up a sentient bow or sling, I think this would be way too overpowering. Bows don't have that many powers on their own and I don't think can have elemental slays on them. That and a bow with a bunch of resists, extra attacks, speed, etc. would start to make e...

Haven't even seen it? Excuse me? I most certainly saw it! All ~3 hours of it! (At least half of which were closeups of Arwen and Aragorn...) I wasn't aiming that comment at you. Some have posted that they (and I am saying this in my own words) are boycotting the movie because it sucks. They haven't...

I am male. I play male characters. I can just associate with them better. I absolutely hate traps of femininity/masculinity/nuetrality. They are just plain annoying and mess up part of the role playing value of the game. Since they don't really affect actual game play at all, I think they should be ...

Lantern for the extra light radius. I can always toss the oil or even dump them before I head back to town for the extra inventory space to carry loot. It's only mildly annoying to buy oil. The only thing I like to do is switch to something that doesn't need fuel for overland travel. Okay, one thing...

Wow. I don't feel like quiet such a big loser now. I have a big fat 0 wins but I see 55% of the people who have responded thus far are in the same boat. I currently have my first level 50 character (High Elf Monk) and have a good feeling. So far, everything has been a walk in the park but I have bee...

Loved all three movies. I thought FOTR was the best one though I wish he would have added in the Bombadil/barrow bit. I watched the director's cut and it wasn't in there either. Oh well. I thought ROTK was the most fun to watch. The epic battles were very well done. I thought the dead army was fanta...

Yes! I think there should at least be one sentient weapon per weapon type. It just makes things more interesting. I can understand there not being as many axes and hafted artifacts as these weapon types in general are not as prevellent in the Tolkein world as swords but there are all kinds of spears...

The only time I cheated in a roguelike game was back in Moria 4.8.3. That was back in 1990 when I had my first (actually second since I played Rogue a few times) taste of a roguelike game. I had a friend who had played with the sourcecode of that game to make himself a maxed out killing machine with...

In this case the damage should stack: 2x * 3x = 6x!!!!!

Ouch!

I like the assassin because of the insane stealth, critical hits and backstabbing. I love sneaking up to moderately high level creatures and taking them out in one turn. My best was a Rohan Knight Assassin. I took some time to get his stealth up, but once it got there, he was a killing machine. He w...
