Nightmare! difficulty not Accessible to slow players
Ashannar:
Disappointing. :(
I expect to fight the game, but I didn't think fighting the developers would be part of the difficulty of N!
If someone wanted to cheat they would just run DoomRL in a VM and save/load entire game states. Or use a hex editor to make themselves invincible.
Radagast:
Roguelikes actually never had such an issue. Not rogue the original, not nethack, not adom, nor any of the modern good ones either such as stone soup, desktop dungeons, tome, dredmor, ftl or any other for that matter.
Roguelikes are supposed to be tactical games with turn based decisions, like it or not. Speed was never a goal, much less a necessity to play. Private lives should get a break when they need to. All such developers respected that, always.

Indeed and that's the most challenging difficulty of all. Disappointing indeed.

Truer words were never spoken...
Negativity is understandable at times and when there is good reason, but this time there are not even decent arguments to back it up, that's what makes me sad mostly.
Tormuse's idea is probably pretty decent if feasible but anyway, I think I won't continue any more talk here since it's obvious that this is not even a proper discussion in the first place.

DoomRL is the only Roguelike I've played where locking the HP was the only precaution a hex cheater had to take to win.
Matt_S:
I'm disappointed that something that even a couple of supporters would want is simply non-negotiable, but fine. I won't ever bring the subject up again.

Hex editor and invincible is not an option. If you try that )
But of course we can convert our pistol to devastating 20d20+20, explosive radius 6, damage type 'plasma' or upgrade any of that weak green armor to 100% resist all :)))) items can be changed. Changing player properties not so easy.
