First, about Ao100 melee - i have done game, where i firstly raised skills for chaingun up to the level where i had almost nothing to worry about(clvl 11, or something like that), and after that started to raise melee skills looking forward to find Dragonslayer to try to pick it up. I actually found it on level 32, or something like that, managed to pick it up, and after that started melee massacre. It's a 100% game, but not pure melee.

About pure 100% melee Ao100 game - try doing 100% AoB UV game first, it's pretty hard, even counting that there are Chainsaw and LS. Now imagine game where you can't kill anyone because you have only knife, and untill you find Butcher's Knife, or Dragonslayer(and you also need to know how to pick it)), you can only run from everything that is bigger than imp. Rumors says that chance of appearance of chainsaw, or BFG900 exists(maybe LS too), but only on later levels. So, try to survive till level 50 with only knife, and this i will call A DAMN VERY COOL GAME.)

i did AoB on UV and yes damn hard. but you can plan things up. then again there not many sidewalks you can take: run like hell behind you to chainsaw->do the same to LS ->kill CD. in Ao100 things are crazy cuz you simple cant preseen whats going next and its strongly based on luck. thats why i am asking =]
yesterday i had tryd the 100% melee Ao100 and i must say its imposible for me =\
wish Kornel could add more goodis for melee player.

sidenote: Nightmare is broken. its nearly unplayeble and not because it is sooo hard but its just ridiculose. like Morgue but on every single level. it could be bareble if for killing raised and spawned mobs xp would grow.

Off-topic goodness:

I think I remember Kornel saying this is as it should be. Ultra-Violence is for super-players to complete, Nightmare is for super-players to have “a good run”. i.e. Nightmare is only broken if anyone can finish it.
