Exploration mode penalties

[baltharon]

I just wanted to ask if thare are any penalties for playing in exploration mode?
Can i unlock classes and races can i unlock the same achivemnets as roguelike and adventure mode or is this mode the same from a reword point of view?

[PureQuestion]

Same, just less bragging rights for the achievements themselves.

[The Revanchist]

And subconsciously thinking Death is cheap in this game. Which is annoying when you migrate to roguelike.

[SageAcrin]

It's okay, if you migrate from Exploration directly to Roguelike, that's its own penalty.

[SadistSquirrel]

I thought that certain unlocks which relied on achievements were -not- gained in Exploration Mode?

Marauder and Reaver come to mind.

[stinkstink]

They can't be unlocked in Easy mode, which doesn't have achievements.

As far as I'm aware, Exploration mode can still net you everything that a regular game can. I'm pretty sure that I unlocked the Paradox Mage using Exploration mode. It's just a nice way to go through the game without worrying about multiple deaths.
