It's really the grind that got me on this one. I'd left the game running for 2 and a half months, taking a break to play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup in the meantime. Figured I should try to finish it up before it or my computer crashed. Didn't heal when I should have, was trying to grab a berserk pack off the floor instead.
When/if I make another attempt, I think I'll go with a cateye scout instead of scavenger technician. Scavenger was nice for getting the nano packs I needed for my gear, but stair location and extended visual radius are probably more important for actually completing the game.
I love the nanomachic napalm launcher, but it was kind of a mixed blessing. Once you start using it it's hard to stop, since you're destroying most of the ammo you need for your other weapons, along with lots of other desirable pickups. It seemed like knockback was getting applied before damage too, so killing tougher fluid-immune enemies got pretty tedious unless I was able to pin them against a permanent wall. I eventually decided to start working on a nanomachic pistol so that I could take full spammy advantage of son of a gun, but didn't end up completing it before I died.
