"Just let me die" option as ghost in Adventure Mode

#1 Post by Emetivore »

We should have an option to refuse resurrection in adventure mode.

As it is now, I res and hold down space a bunch of times if I die too early (before level 10 or so, depending).

You could always just... save and quit, then overwrite the character.

Doing that leaves the character listed as still alive in the score table.

Well yes, I realize that, but it seems that it would be a nice feature to let the player choose to restart without jumping through all these hoops and cluttering their high score list.

It could be added, I guess. The counterpoint would be hitting it by accident. There's an inherent danger to a "GIVE ME A GAME OVER" option.

Angband had a suicide keybind, you had to type @ after to confirm.

That's a good point, you'd definitely want a confirmation box on it.
