Discussion / Re: DoomRL LP

The idea is each video brings new progress with the same build. I won't be savescumming (hell no), but I'll edit out repeat stuff unless something really interesting happens. I'm going for 100% kills w/ ammochain, doing most of the special levels.
If people really want me to switch to another build, I'll take requests, since it's still early on.

Discussion / DoomRL LP
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:46 »
Hey folks; started (YA) DoomRL LP. Maybe a few folks here would be interested. It uses strong language but in general good times. It's a B-side to an LP of Cave Story I'm doing, so it'll only be updated sporadically. If anyone digs it, post and I'll update this thread with updates.

Requests For Features / Re: Request: Abandon Challenge
« on: March 31, 2010, 08:16 »Challenges are called so for a reason: they are an alternative, usually tweaked to make it more difficult. You take a weapon specific challenge knowing full well you could find an awesome weapon during the run, that may or may not be restricted.Knowing I'll be unable to use a rare weapon I've never tried before isn't part of the "fun" for me. One of the biggest grievances in .990 was the inflexibility with builds vs. unique finds. Exotics were created in the spirit of adapting the RNG to player builds. This would approach the problem from another angle by allowing the player to adapt himself to the RNG. I've found the railgun exactly once, and I know that people with loads of more gametime than me have never found it at all. I would've killed to abandon my challenge to give it a spin.
Yes. And that's exactly what the challenge modes are: fun alternatives to normal gameplay.
Challenges are not so-called because they force you to give up certain classes of uniques. They're so-called because they force you to give up certain classes of weapons, making you explore new tactical avenues with the challenge-specific type. Nearly every roguelike has a wizmode where your scores don't count, but that doesn't prevent it from being a legitimately challenging game. This isn't anywhere near as radical a suggestion as that.

Requests For Features / Request: Abandon Challenge
« on: March 30, 2010, 15:15 »
Most have had that moment during an Angel of Berserk, Marksmanship, Shotgunnery when we find a railgun, Pancor Jackhammer, &c. that we couldn't use. So why not let the player abandon his challenge and start playing a normal game?
If it works for just these three challenges, I don't really see much potential for abuse, save maybe shotgunnery since you start with a shotgun. In which case, you could make it a "cheat" mode, and your score won't be listed, post-mortem won't be saved, &c.

Discussion / Re: So I used three phases and couldn't get into the middle vault of the Vaults..
« on: January 28, 2010, 23:01 »
I have to agree that while clearing the Vaults should be a difficult Achievement (tm) notwithstanding, forcing the player to phase into one of them is a rather inelegant way of doing it. You have to spoil yourself to figure it out; it vaguely reminds me of the rogue quest in NetHack. Much better to have to just rocket your way in, or walk through lava to find a hidden door, or something. Not like it'll make it any easier.

Assuming chainsaws work the same as combat knives (and why wouldn't they?), yes & yes.

0.9.9 / [M|AoMr|98%|YAVP] Badass build
« on: December 13, 2009, 17:51 »
Second win ever, first on HNTR. Tried beating Marksmanship w/ Gunkata build, but either I don't know how to use it properly, or it's bloody useless when it comes to defeating endgame enemies. So instead I did a dualgun/badass/reloader build. The turning point was getting Onyx Armor, which, combined with Badass makes you pretty much invincible until archviles start appearing. Trigun was a nice find, but I was already cleaning house beforehand. I don't think I'll ever go back to Gunkata. On Phobos Hell 9, I spawned near both an invulnerability sphere and the down-stairs, and decided to abandon 100% kills and just go for the win.
