I'm frustrated, can you tell?

As you can see, i was playing a fairly standard "knives and fists" game on Easy. As you can also see, i was doing rather well. The problem was i was running the Windows version through wineconsole, as a result receiving overly sharp colors, hard-to-read fonts and, which is worse, bright shadows (seriously, the shadows were brighter than the lit areas!). By the time i reached level 15 i got tired and stopped paying attention.

I can tell exactly what went through my head at that time.
"Right. I'll take them one by one, then go back and heal. (tap)(tap)(tap)(tap) All right, just one more cacodemon left, (move)(move) Ah, here he is. I don't need to heal yet, i can still make an attack or two... (tap-tap) Wait, no, SHIT! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!"

I never died with ten medpacks and three red armors in my inventory to something completely avoidable before. I can only hope it will not happen again.

I'm a stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid optimist.

You mean you've never been instant-gibbed from full health by a Mancubis whom you walked into range of without knowing he was there? Or gotten in a situation where there were so many enemies in view you would die even if you used a large med-pack? Several of my characters have found themselves in predicaments where no number of medpacks / red armors would save them. :P

Post by: Simon-v on March 18, 2010, 03:18: I've corrected my statement - "never died with ten med-packs and three red armors in my inventory to something completely avoidable before".

With all said, this death was really, completely, uncompromisingly unnecessary. I could have saved myself three to seven times over. That's why i'm upset.

I ~~can't~~ can, but want not wait for the Linux version.

Post by: UnderAPaleGreySky on March 18, 2010, 03:50: Ouch. The caco did just enough damage to kill you, yet leave you wandering how it would've turned out if it had done just one less.

The bastard that is the Cyberdemon got a double attack when i didn't expect it.
I'm still going to knife him, even if it takes me another ten or twenty lives.

EDIT: Done.

P.S.: Apparently, melee weapons are better bulk modded instead of power modded (3d5 vs. 2d6). So yeah.

Post by: Doops on March 18, 2010, 11:40: i wonder how that works. i guess he turns 1 knife into a double knife or something.

Post by: ChaoticJosh on March 18, 2010, 17:58: Power mods make the knife pointier, while the bulk mods make the knife heavier.
