I've had two characters in ToME complete the "Into the Darkness" quest...only to die in that goddamn time portal. At least I made it to the boss the second time, but they seemed to be very dangerous. I suppose I should just leave it for later, but it's not as if the game is forthcoming with that information at all...I assumed it was going to be a fun playful jaunt to unlock some sort of whimsical time mage character. Stupid time portal.

Both characters were Stone Wardens, which is my favorite/most successful class so far. The Earthen vines in particular are an interesting mechanic, but the class is tanky enough to accommodate my noobiness. If I play as anything besides a Dwarf I tend to get one-shotted.

I think you're supposed to learn by having fun/dying. I've got a fairly successful Wyrmic going right now. (I just finished Into the Darkness). The time portal does let you unlock some whimsical time characters, but it's not something that is super easy. If I remember correctly it's a level that is particularly difficult for melee characters as both the creatures on the first level and the final boss kite you like crazy. I wouldn't recommend doing it early with a Stone Warden who are both slow and immobile. Something you go back to later in the game. Not that there's usually a lot of things to do before it at that point, but even a level or two can make a big difference in hard fights like that as many of the dungeons at that point are quite difficult. You could try the Ruined Dungeon,  Saving Derth, the Ruined Halfling Complex or the Lake of Nur. I don't have any experience with Stone Wardens, but you might have better luck with those other locations before the Temporal Rift, they're considered similar in difficulty level.

So, I went back to an age-old project, which is clearing the whole entire dungeon in NetHack...

My best ToME character by far just bit it...Khzad mag Zib the Lvl 38 Stone Warden, died to Zabbadabbadoo the Neverdead in the Slime Tunnels. Such a shame...I had high hopes for this guy. I thought I was relatively safe but then got slammed with 566 burst darkness damage. Yikes.

I'm not too mad though because I unlocked a bunch of other cool stuff to try. Most importantly I beat that stupid time portal zone. My next character will definitely be a Skeleton Temporal Warden.

I defeated the flagship with Engi A for the first time today :)  Using combat drone Mk1, defense drone mk2, Hull laser mk2, ion blast 2, and a pike beam.  AE on and on normal.

After UNCOUNTABLE tries, I managed to get atheist in hoplite! It's quite difficult to get, but I was a bit disappointed to realize that it is also fairly luck based; levels are not as difficult if ranged units start at different distances from you, with warriors in the way and lava bottlenecking their movements, instead of starting with warriors far away, lava constraining your movements, and a couple of demolitioners nearby.

I just had a Level 32 antimagic lesbian Thalore brawler. Seems to be a really strong combination--the Thalore racial abilities seem great, especially considering I always seem to die to blight damage, and brawlers are really dynamic and mobile. The most fun part of this game was grappling--you're not "supposed" to be able to wrestle huge creatures like dragons or trees, but when you wear equipment that gives you +1 size modifier, putting the Sandworm Queen into a headlock is no problem!

Unfortunately I ended up dying unexpectedly in one of those orc horror vaults. I'd never seen a nightmare horror before and apparently it has some bullshit Mara-esque cloning ability. My own swiftness was turned against me.

Aside from that I think the Brawler class is super fun, but I have trouble deciding where to put the points you get. So many good skills. I tried building a Cunning high defense counter attacking Halfling Brawler with most of my points going into skills that raised defense and the ability to counterattack and crit. This worked extremely well against anything that closed the gap to try and go toe to toe with me. Even in big groups. I had some gap closing mobility abilities that let me rush ranged things. This worked terribly against groups of mobile spell casters/breath weapons. I would just get wrecked by spell casters. I died during the antimagic challenge around level 12. Ghosts are super hard for Brawlers to deal with.

Now I'm working on a Temporal Warden which is pretty fun so far. Less concern about where to put your points anyways as you kinda need to rush Dex and then Con and I've left some a point or two sit unused while I wait to eventually get some stat raises for the purpose of skilling things.

After UNCOUNTABLE tries, I managed to get atheist in hoplite! It's quite difficult to get, but I was a bit disappointed to realize that it is also fairly luck based; levels are not as difficult if ranged units start at different distances from you, with warriors in the way and lava bottlenecking their movements, instead of starting with warriors far away, lava constraining your movements, and a couple of demolitioners nearby.
It's been a while since I got the atheist achievement, but I remember it being one of the first I got and weirdly easy. The reason is that one of my most common causes of death is forgetting I have some upgrade and getting myself killed as a result. With an atheist run, no such problem. :)

It took me maybe two or three dozen serious tries. I finally managed to get it in a run where levels 12-15 were strangely tame. Level 16 was tricky, but I still had all three hearts, so it was fine.

Most runs ended somewhere in 13-15. 2/3 times because of those damn Demolitioners, I just can't predict their actions; 1/3 times because of some sort of Horatius Cocles scenario.

I still have a lot of tricky achievements to get (Pacifist, Demon Partisan, Speed Run), so there's still much frustration to be had during my commute! It's going to be hard to get myself used to prayers again :P

Fat finger mode saves lives, by the way. Especially with reaction bash: the game will warn you of the hex you will end up on. No more hoplite barbeque!

Have you seen the Melinda subplot before?

Seriously, Brawlers have so many good skills, I wish I had about 10 more generic points to distribute. Makes for some interesting decisions though; I'm not even sure I would go for Grappling next time. I've wanted to try a crit halfling, but I've never gotten one off the ground.

Individual blinky spellcasters are not so bad because you have so many pseudo-rushes: Rush itself, Spinning Backhand, Butterfly Kick, and Takedown. Crowds can be a problem but there is some reasonable AoE as well, like Concussive Punch, and again Butterfly Kick and Takedown...not to mention Tactical Expert, which encourages you to get right into the thick of things. I was a little spoiled by the fact that I had some awesome artifact gloves -- Wyrmbreath -- which would frequently blast elemental destruction in a wide swath.

I died in the Antimagic challenge the first time too, I was only level 10 and the damn corrupter got me (blight damage!!!). I tried it again with my next character before Daikara and it was fine. Honestly though I'm not sure if the antimagic path *really* seems worth it...but I figured I'd give it a shot if my char was just going to be punching things anyway.

Anyway time to try again. Temporal Wardens do seem really fun, I got one to level 10 or so. I just unlocked Ghouls and Sun Paladins so I guess that's next on the docket.

Ghoul-Sun Paladin! The least logical class-race combo? Is it even possible?

I have not seen the Melinda subplot so I guess that explains why I'm confused.

In Tome, I'm playing a Thaloren Time Warden right now and got access to the Bearscape for the first time. That place is nuts, it's hard fighting all the unique bears, but you get tons of tier 5 gear. Kinda makes me feel like I'm cheating by going to it at all as only donors can go to it.

Anyhow Time Warden's really start to come online around level 15ish. Before that I had trouble having enough stats to level the skills I wanted, but now I have the opposite problem, not enough points to put into skills.

Damage Smearing (if you take damage you instead pass it forward to yourself in the future) in particular is an amazing skill and I'm looking forward to building up lots of temporal resistances and not having to worry about damage types at all in boss fights in the future because I can just smear them all into being temporal. This can lead to some weird situations where you beat a boss, but are effectively dead to the damage it dealt to you. I beat the Tempest boss, but then looked at all the damage I'd smeared and realized nothing was going to come off cooldown in time to save my life. (I learned that when you give yourself +Con items you don't get the HP immediately as I was trying to rapidly put on better hats to save myself). Luckily I had a couple lives to spare at that point so it wasn't a big deal.

After playing roguelikes, does anyone ever play non roguelike games and die and get this little tug in their heart like, "Man, I messed up, and I died... that's where the story should end.  I can reload my save file but it feels wrong"

Yknow?

I used to play a ton of DCSS. One of my favorite games was a DDPr that stayed with Zin for the entire game. As a Deep Dwarf you can't regenerate naturally, and by going Zin you're excluded from using any healing besides potions and wands. To survive you have to find healing items at a faster rate than you take damage, which is an extremely difficult thing to do.

By the way, do any of you play DCSS online? I know there is an online tournament every year, was wondering if F.DS had a team for it.

I've tried to play online, but there's a little bit of lag before I move and it just is never as much fun as playing offline for that reason.

Combine that with the tournaments being designed as a "Are you unemployed? y/n" shebang and I am not so hyped about them.

Wooo I beat ToME!! (Normal, roguelike.) Dion the Lvl 50 Cursed Dwarf. Apparently very very skilled at being cursed.

I took Rampage and Predator for additional categories...I didn't get Predator until very late, but Rampage is really excellent. Heavy investment in Gloom, my character was very gloomy, much like Eeyore or Droopy the Dog. Inscription setup was Primal, Regeneration x2, Heroism, and Teleportation for emergencies. And for prodigies I took Superpower, then Draconic Body, for general robustness. Too much loot to even mention...among other things three complete artifact armour sets, a $4000 custom lamp named Jack, and a charm that transformed me into a tree.



My weapon of choice was The Black Spike, although I had alternatives for foes who resisted darkness damage. My armour of choice, the Black Plate, sounds like it should be part of an artifact set but it wasn't. However it was very useful for reflecting damage. The Shard of Insanity, which allowed me to plague my enemies with Inner Demons, saved me more than a few times. My size was 'huge', I estimate ~20 feet tall, which was hopefully intimidating.

Finally I had the Blood of Life (1-up), the Ring of Death (1-up), and the Elixir of Invulnerability (invincibility star) in case things went truly wrong...and I consumed them all before the end!

Guess I'll try Hard mode...I can't believe there's three higher difficulty levels than this!!!

Congrats! I still haven't beaten the game. I think you must have more time than me (for roguelikes) because I've been running that Time Warden character I was mentioning earlier for the last week or two and I am just about to meet the Master (which makes it the 2nd most successful character I've ever had)*.

Did you have any deaths?

*The most successful died in the Ambush, though I can't find a record of it in the ToME vault and I can't remember what it was.

Oh hey, I can apparently just link characters since I play online:

This is my current character.

Heh heh...I may have a slight problem...

The Master's pretty tough, he killed one of my Brawlers when he appeared right at the stairs and cut off my escape. The ambush hasn't killed me yet but it really does catch you off guard. One thing I like about this game is the general tempo...of course there's hordes of trash foes, but there are lots of hair-raising situations in which you can *almost* die. And then actually die sometimes. And then you're so enraged you immediately start another character.

In roguelike mode you only get one life, except for the game-sponsored items I mentioned earlier. I know that's pretty cheesy, but hey, even NetHack had amulets of life saving. I lost the Blood of Life early to the fight with that guy who betrays you and his Drolem (dragon/golem). It was at that point, when I created an army of Drolem demons (or 'Drolemons') that I realized the power of the Shard of Insanity. I popped the Ring of Death RIGHT before the final area, to one of the four mini-bosses, which really pissed me off, but it really upped the stakes for the boss fight. I used the Elixir of Invulnerability during the battle but it didn't do as much as I hoped.

So, now that you've won... Which is better, DCSS or ToME?

This is a lame answer, but it's hard to pick because they're not trying to be the same game...Gut feeling is DCSS but that might not be fair, because it has the emotional resonance of NetHack for me personally. I like both games for different reasons.

I love the deepness of ToME's lore, but I also love the starkness of DCSS's no-nonsense style. It's cool how race is more important than class in DCSS, and the other way around in ToME. The emphasis on tactics in ToME compared to strategy in DCSS. More focus in DCSS, or more exploration and non-linearity in ToME. The cinematic moments in ToME are hard-hitting, but can be repetitive. After a while you definitely feel the lack of vaults in ToME compared to DCSS. And maybe it could stand to trim the fat a little--do we really need 9 levels of Dreadfell? Do we really need 4 prides of the Orcs? Although arguably the same could be said of 4 Hells. And overall the range of variety is fantastic.

I'd say though it's a great roguelike experience. Good pacing, you can feel like your character is advancing but also constantly in danger. It's so much fun when you get to pick a new category or prodigy. I recommend giving it a shot!
