ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

For what it's worth, my 2 cents on the matter are that both games have a fair amount of unfair deathtraps. ToME2 was pretty safe if you knew your way around, mostly due to guaranteed artifacts and plentiful teleportation options. The vast majority of my deaths in that game arose from me leaning into...

I don't think dreamscape counts as a mental effect though,so you can get thrown into the dreamscape even with mental shielding up. I'm also not sure how the game is handling the cooldowns of all the different entities when an enemy uses dreamscape; I know when I use it on an enemy my own cooldowns c...

Inner Demons is really annoying because in your hands it generally just breaks sleep right away and doesn't accomplish much (and it gets resisted ALL the time by enemies), but in the hands of enemies it's devastating since you're so decked out. Night Terrors is similar, but it also gives a very usef...

That method doesn't really help if the enemy can heal itself. By the time you can cure your stun again, it can definitely stun again, and probably heal itself too. And next time you might cure something dumb like poison instead of stun. Or running away might not work because you get hemmed in or tel...

Used dreamscape. Might be related to the projections resurrecting? Also, the projections didn't do anything outside the Dreamscape, they just sat there immobile. I Cast Nightmare on them but it wouldn't count down or do damage, but zapping them worked fine. Not that there was any point to killing th...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume this isn't supposed to happen:

I'll say this much about them when encountered as enemies: having no idea what their psi is at is a pretty big disadvantage to begin with, and if you're unspoiled, they seem to be outright invincible. And they may as well be, since if you're unspoiled you'll probably try hurting the thought defender...

Normal poisons aren't so bad, but an insidious poison is basically a death sentence for any character relying on healing. Especially since the enemies that apply it generally do so every single turn and have incredibly high mobility. And I HAVE had my Berserk sustain disabled before. Less common tha...

Everyone always says wild infusions solve everything, but they're really quite useless most of the time. If you're stunned, you're probably also poisoned, off balanced, off guarded, slowed and bleeding. The wild infusion will do sweet - all for you in that situation. Unless you get lucky, but if you...

I think about half my time clearing out weaklings is spent looking for the monster 'in line of sight' that stopped my autoexplore that isn't actually on the screen, and instead is buried under the UI somewhere. Why is the UI not outside of your field of vision?

I wish I'd STOP triggering this thing. The assassin lord is insane now. All he has to do is hit me ONCE while my wild infusion is on cooldown and I'm dead from all the stacked poison bs even if I get away. I'm going to need either WAY WAY WAY more levels or poison immunity, neither of which is going...

Uh, seconding this post. Can't get any links to work. Never would have gotten rid of my old files if I thought the site would ever go down.

I go light on Con but arcane blade needs everything else and I try to make up for it with hp items.

The thing is, after doing SIX starter dungeons (the elven and human ones), quests, and the old forest I'm still so underlevelled when I go into the maze the boss has 8 levels on me- 50% higher level. The bastard was hitting me for 300+ in a single go some times. And that's not even criticals. Just t...

Am I supposed to be obssessively clearing every single enemy of every single floor and doing the dungeons in a specific order? I just lost my arcane blade (Cornac) at level 21 in the spellblaze, mostly for lack of levels. I cleared out all 6 low level dungeons and the old forest AND the lumberjack a...
