Just like in Dwarf Fortress; Losing is fun!
But honestly, it's a great game. I love how you can upgrade yourself in a kind of RPG like way, and sometimes can choose between just heading on quickly and probably getting killed, or grinding EXP a little bit so you won't die right away. Having a few different classes is always cool, and I also really love that ironic humor with most enemies.
The only thing that kind of bothers me is that sometimes, certain things just seem to change randomly, for example, the EXP you get seems to vary a bit from time to time, even if you always play on easy, and on the second stage, monsters are sometimes impossible to hit. I tried it twice with a paladin and had about the same dex, one time it almost always worked, and one time, it literally NEVER did.
So I suppose that is kind of a glitch, if you could fix it, then this game would be PERFECT!

Naw, you just gotta buff your dex - also, Paladins can offer and get a special bonus mid-battle.
I'm digging this game. A lot. At first i felt it was way too simplistic but as I kept getting curb stomped I felt I shouldn't rush into it so brashly. I figured out the stats more or less and chose my classes of choice.
Monk was definitely my favorite class and Paladin made NetHack such a sweet ride. I'm definitely going to do what I can to unlock the other classes.
I did have a few gripes though;
In the first Area, there was a door for the maintenance room or something I had to unlock with a key (You know, the other one that didn't lead me to the second area... That one.) It felt that after I had hit a certain level, it was totally cut off to me. Which was a shame since when I finally found the guy I had to buy the key from, I was at level 8 and I grinded all the way to level 16. At a point, it just felt that i was either getting those Wandering dudes and the equip/armory smiths. Now I'll never know exactly what it is that was behind that door.
Secondly; In the third area, It seems that the Arena to fight those ranked fights became glitched for me when I wandered around the Blue Wall and fought those Wall knights. I did 2 ranked matches and fought those Wall knights afterwards. when I found myself at the arena gates, I couldn't enter because I was Ranked -3 (I'm assuming since I was at 2nd rank and fighting 3 or 4 wall knights ruined my ranking)
There was another issue but I don't believe it wasn't critical. If I remember it, I'll let you know.
Also, Dat tree. Wats up with that, yo?
Anywho. It's like a quarter to 5 in the morning. This was a great insomnia inducer. I loved the game and I'll keep working at it. Fantastic job!
Another glitch: playing as a Psion, I got my Armor to -3 on two separate occasions. The game didn't acknowledge it at all; I didn't get the Pessimist Achievement, and I didn't unlock the Blackguard class.
i cant stop playing !
ps/ i have a tesis stilll need to be done
