This was a very promising Gargulec Cross attempt, which I'm convinced would have been successful if not for the fact that, in this version, I can no longer set the inventory menu style to "CHOICE" only.
On the level just before I died, I accidentally pushed I and O at the same time and wasted a Phase Device. That phase device would have gotten me out of a tight spot in the Mortuary and saved me from a terrible pounding from Former Commandos and Arachnotrons. As it was, I successfully took out all the Arch-Viles, and the rest was just clean-up, but by then, I was out of med-packs and I died a few steps away from a Supercharge. That Phase Device really did mean the difference between life and death! (And to add insult to injury, on the level that I did use it, it took me into the middle of a group of Arachnotrons)
And yeah, I get that, with this version, the Devteam basically rebuilt the whole game from the ground up and there was bound to be *something* missing, and all things considered, they did a good job and leaving out the InvMenuStyle option was a relatively minor omission... I get that... It still doesn't make it any less frustrating! >:(
Anyway...
Someone suggested recently that it might benefit a Vampyre build to head for Brute 3 before getting Berserker, and after a bunch of failed attempts, heading to Brute 3 first, I came to the conclusion that I prefer getting Berserker first. (especially in light of this attempt) :)
I skipped Hell's Arena because I wasn't prepared enough at the time, even with all my gift-dropping and other melee tactics, so I skipped The Vaults too, since I missed out on the means to reliably open them. Come to think of it, I probably should have skipped the Mortuary too... There was no real need to go down there; it was an unnecessary risk to the run, but I had picked up an Invulnerability beforehand and was carrying 3 Blood Skulls. a Fire Skull, Necroarmor, and Azrael's Scythe. I felt pretty confident about it. Oh well...
