DRL > Nightmare!
[N!|Ao100|85%|39|YASD] I am here to suck...
Tormuse:
...your blood. ;)
I was trying for a Vampyre build and it was easier than I expected. Once I got the Vampyre trait, things went mostly pretty smoothly, even though I was using an unmodded combat knife up until level 28! (Seriously! I didn't find a single bulk or power mod until then!) Naturally, Pain Elementals became an excellent source of healing, so things got pretty ridiculous when I found a Pain Elemental cave and I was wading through a sea of lost souls that couldn't attack me fast enough to do any damage. That's why more than half of the kills are lost souls. :P (Too bad there's a cap on how long berserk lasts; otherwise, I would've just hung out there until I had enough to last me to the end of the game) :)
Levels 32, 33, and 34 were Arachnotron caves. If not for the resources I used up there, I might have won this one.
This was a fun run; I'll have to do it again. :)

gilgatex:
This is really impressive! Did you only use blades or did you use projectile weapons during the first levels?
Tormuse:
I switched between the knife and projectile weapons throughout the game, depending on whatever situation I found myself in, but I was definitely using the knife way more than anything else, so much that at one point, I was throwing ammo away to make more room in my inventory for med-packs because I wasn't using the ammo anyway. (And I had maybe 10 or 11 med-packs at the time) One thing that really helped the run was a suit of duelist armour which I held on to for quite some time and was very useful for the speed boost and melee damage protection.
Also, it's worth noting that the new Arch-Vile AI is a pain in the ass for this build. :)
action52:
It might have helped to specialize in a secondary ranged weapon. I've tried the melee build in Ao100 and I find that I have the most success by going for shottyman or dualgunner after getting Vampyre (or else whiz kid 2 if you're really lucky with mods). Use your ranged weapon on the difficult enemies, switching to melee to build health and conserve ammo. Like when you have easy kill opportunities or get a berserk/invincibility powerup. I think you need to work on having a strong ranged weapon option before adding on TaN and Ironman levels. I find that TaN especially tends to be less effective against late-game enemies and isn't worth more than one or two levels.
Looking at your mortem, I also have to say that slapping a firestorm mod on your plasma rifle was a waste. Without EE you can't hit shit with a plasma rifle, so you're just wasting more cells with each shot. The double shotgun would have benefited a lot more (especially if you had gotten shottyman). Alternatively you could have gotten whiz kid so you could combine the firestorm mod with agility mods, or better yet made a hyper blaster and then slapped on the firestorm pack.

No it wouldn't. The Double Shotgun is limited to x2 due to its clip size, despite the listed damage being x3. This is true of all Double Shotgun variants.
(the Jackhammer works properly, however.)
