So, this was not only my first win, but also the first time I saw nightmare monsters: my previous best was a Gun Kata attempt that died on L24 to a mancubus. I did have some good luck in this game, including a red armor on L1 (!!!), and a very early onyx pack that I slapped on the next red armor I found (that's right, I finished the game with the very second armor I wore).

Ammochain + a plasma rifle is absurdly powerful. Well, a plasma rifle on its own is great, but I'd be too scared to run out of ammo, so I waited until I was level 7 before getting to use it. What really amped up my power level, though, were the SoB's, and even more so Fin's, that I got. Eventually, it got to the point where the only reason I couldn't kill bruiser brothers in one burst was that they kept getting knockbacked. I had thought that was impossible with a rapidfire weapon, but apparently you just need a lot of damage.

The item generation in this game was REALLY frustrating. As you can see, I modded my red armor in anticipation of making some cybernano, but I didn't see a single exotic mod pack past L50. Before that, I got two sniper pack and two onyx packs, only one of each being useful. I found a ton of uniques, but only one (the BFG 10k) was one I haven't already found, and I've only found around half of the uniques. The BFG10k was not quite as impressive as I thought it would be. It suffered HUGELY from the problem that knockback is applies before damage, and I was scared of using it anywhere but in open areas because you aren't immune to it.

As you can see, I have 5 power mod packs in my inventory. Two of those were reserved for when I found a nano pack, so I could make a [10] armor. That didn't work out too well. The other three were reserved for making VBFG, which never happened since I never found a single BFG. I personally think that the chance for an item to be a BFG should be slightly bumped, especially now that it is no longer guaranteed even in a normal game.

Two other complaints: I was hoping I could use the Acid Spitter, since I had cerberus boots, but I saw no acid whatsoever for ten levels after finding it, so I ditched it. Maybe acid barrels should be a bit more common? Also, vaults after ~L30 were horrible. Maybe it was my bad luck, but they seemed to have worse items than the surrounding levels.

Also, I started the game on the 4th of July. A rather apropos killcount, isn't it?

[LuckyDee]

Regardless of any shortcomings you might perceive, this looks like a textbook win to me. Did you use the plasma rifle the entire run (after lev 7)?

[wheals]

Yeah, except for a few times when I quickly switched to the railgun and (on the last few levels, to take out boss enemies) the BFG 10K. That reminds me, though -- I actually found a laser rifle. I was thinking of using it, but only if I found another sniper mod or firestorm mod, which ended up not happening. I lost it a few levels later. when I dropped it while standing next to lava, even though there were plenty of clear squares without items on them surrounding me. Unless I actually was standing on lava (the item underneath me might have been a unique), that was probably a bug, but it's pretty well known.

It's true that it really was a good game. I just need to remember that nothing is guaranteed, even in Ao100.

[Evilpotatoe]

Ah, ammochain... :)
Too bad you lost your laser rifle. sniper makes plasma rifle more than decent, but the increased accuracy of the exotic version is really insane. Just count how much "boom" messages you get everytime you shoot an enemy !
Also, don't forget that the 2nd sniper rifle gives you accuracy beyond your LOS. It might not be the best choice, but I always keep 2 slots on my plasma guns for sniper mods.

the only reason I couldn't kill bruiser brothers in one burst was that they kept getting knockbacked.

That's why I never pick SoB 5 or P-mod those.
12+ damages knocks back. 1 "lucky" roll on plasma rifle gives 7 damages, add 5, and you're screwed :(

chance for an item to be a BFG should be slightly bumped, especially now that it is no longer guaranteed even in a normal game.

What ? You might not have completed Spider's lair on 0.9.9.7 yet, but it now drops a BFG instead of the cheat plasma rifle, and is paired with halls of carnage, which still ensures one.

Also, Mortuary and Limbo have the nuclear version, which means you get 2 guaranteed BFG in a regular game.

that was probably a bug, but it's pretty well known.

Actually, it's an intended feature. I even find it handy to dispose of armors :)
Better drop your translocator next time !

[wheals]

Re: the bug, I meant specifically the fact that there were empty squares directly next to me. I would expect it to fall in if the lava were the only empty square adjacent, but allowing it to fall in otherwise is kind of annoying, although avoidable.

About the BFG, I could have sworn that last time I finished Spider's Lair it didn't appear. Maybe it appeared inside a lava pool (Lair with a napalam launcher is just so much fun :) ). You made a good point about the nuke BFG; I've only ever cleared Mortuary on AoB so I didn't think about that.
