So seeing as how DoomRL has a nice Berserk subtext I thought it'd be fun to play a Guts-themed runthrough. Obviously, this meant a melee-focused game though I allowed a shotgun to take the place of Guts' Cannon Arm. This gun then evolved into a rocket launcher, and from there into the Biggest Fucking Gun which I can't help but think is appropriate. Other than that Guts is obviously a Marine, and just as obviously not a Vampire. I found an onyx armor in the teens which I used to assemble power-modded cerberus onyx armor, which was much, much, much better than even the unique armors I found. I found two nano packs burned one for grav boots (of course), and was saving the other in case I could assemble some interesting cybernano armor... but honestly, I doubt anything could top cerberus onyx [2].
The low point the game came around level sixty when I found the Dragonslayer... and couldn't pick it up. Apparently my Guts runthrough was not impressing gravity. Didn't it see what my name was? I have no idea what else to say about this except that if this character can't pick up Dragonslayer, nobody can. I don't even.
Which brings me to my next point: Dragonslayer wasn't needed as this build is completely, utterly, totally overpowered. Once I got my hands on modded cerberus armor around level thirty every subsequent level and encounter was identical, and towards the end more than a little boring. See pack: charge pack: berserk: mass murder. I don't think I ever shot the BiggestFG in earnest -- only while screwing around. 95% resist of all the common late-game damage (with 5 armor on top) made it impossible for me to die. I even let myself get down to ~12% health a couple times just to see what it was like. I went entire levels without looking at my health while being constantly shot by Mancubi, Revenants, and Viles. It got real dull.
Anyway, as for other thoughts I learned pretty quickly that level five was the make-or-break point for this character. I could pass the first four levels pretty consistently, but around ~75% of the time level five would come up with a way to just completely screw me, like flanking me with imp-and-knight spawns or tossing a knight-filled maze where it was real hard to dispose of corpses. After level 10 the game stabilized as, oddly enough, it was much easier to fight a small number of hard enemies than a large number of weak ones, again mostly due to corpse disposal. After that, it was fairly smooth until level thirty or so at which point I either had onyx armor or I did not. If I did, the game continued. If I did not, I would slowly run out of medkits.
I dunno, fun enough. I do not think I will be attempting this again.
