Still having a lot of fun with that public pre-release, the big visual upgrade and the music really contribute to the atmosphere, it's been a long time i didn't played ADOM it was already a very good game before but i'm surprised by how the upgrade is making it better for me.
Currently running a Grey Elf Wizard (as that's the combo that i keep alive for the longest time usually) and reached the water temple level
After getting rid of the monsters in the exterior of the temple , as my swimming is too low i used by Frost bolt to build some ice bridge to cross the channels, i entered the main building and saw the Snake from Beyond sitting there (invisibility helps a lot there)
After using some Lightning bolt (that rebound on the walls) to wake up those elementals and their leader, i ran away while the Snake was following, but my powerfull Fire bolts were strong enough to near-destroy the monster that panicked and ran away inside of the temple after that
After a one sided battle (surprisingly one sided in my favour as the beast was failing its "shrug off" checks a lot) i decided to kill with my Magic missiles spell (as i need to train its power more, something Elona kept when used its Adom inspiration )
I took the corrupted orb from its corpse, and as i had no way to preserve it enough to bring it back to the druid in Terinyo in exchange of potion of cure corruption, i decided to eat the corrupted beast, the idea was in fact to see what kind of corruption my character would get from that as there are lots of
new ones in that pre-release in comparison to the old version, and i have some potions of cure corruptions with some scroll of corruption resistance waiting in my stash in case those corruptions are not positive.
And addition you get +4dex and +4 mana from what the wiki is saying in that new version of adom
Hmm, the leg one is not too bad, as kicking door is something i do much less as i have now most of the keys, and running faster is always good
The eye one is overall good, as i don't care about my appearance and charisma for that character run, as it's mostly used for shop pricing and i have no companions anyways, and my headgear being a crappy one, i can remove it ( headgear will prevent the bonus of that specific eye corruption)
But the 3rd one is really nasty from what i read in the wiki as it can transform some enemies into one of the nasty primordial chaos mass, that are rather high end enemies
And it would heal possible corrupted enemies, something i don't really want, the good side is that it's on melee attacks, not on my spells
Anyways lots of fun, anyone else here is playing this public version of the 1.20 pre-release ?
Really worth a try
