Re: Why won't I buy the game...

Your opinions on game design are terrible. +1 LoG breathed fresh life into an old genre, and perhaps even revitalized the genre. There are quirks, certainly, but overall the gaming experience is sheer joy. Protesting a purchase over such minor quibbles is juvenile; you are only hurting yourself. Th...

Re: Enough with the Spiders

Odd, I'm playing on Hard + Oldschool and while the spiders are indeed tough, they aren't that bad. I just burned through the room full of 'em on level 3. I would attack with all four party members than shut the door and recover. If you are saddling up to them and thinking you can go toe-to-toe for a...

Re: Where to start drawing my map?

I am struggling with this too. I started level 1 in the very middle, and assumed since the downward stairs were in the lower left, the next level would start from the lower left. This is not the case. I'm hoping they at least keep the stair location somewhat standardized. I don't like redrawing a ma...

Yes, you can tele-frag dudes.

I like that there are creative ways to deal with the monsters. I'm not saying it is bad, I'd just like to get experience for it.

Re: No experience for creative ways of killing enemies [Spoi

Gotcha. This makes sense... so I imagine I'll bump into those guys later! I'm working through this game pretty slowly, hard is HARD. However, it is forcing me to be creative, and I am loving the hell out of it. There is an ambush in lvl2 that kept killing me until I thought about it and changed my t...

No experience for creative ways of killing enemies [Spoiler]

I am playing on Hard + Oldschool So far I have discovered two ways to kill enemies w/o weapons. 1) Teleport into them 2) Lure them to a pit and open it However, doing so means I don't get the experience from enemies. Thus, I won't level up and be able to defeat the tougher enemies. In a sense, I am ...
