1. Drowning even though I can swin, and got into the water properly.
2. Not being able to get out of the water, no matter what, once drowning.
3. Training up your character's stats for an hour IRL, and dying to a wolf, even though you're on godlike levels of power.
4. Sneaking being shitty if you actually want to sneak up on someone, even at legendary level.
5. Trying to train up weapon skills, as opposed to Wrestling, or throwing.
6. Grabbing elbows with your armpit.
7. No actual goals.
8. No reason to buy anything in the shops.
9. Becoming the enemy of the entire civ in half a second, even though noone saw you steal that dog bone amulet.
10. Ranged Weapons.

8. No reason to buy anything in the shops.

Extra ammo always helps if you have a ranged weapon. Also, there's no such thing as too many shields.


As for me, due to a few modifications to the creature raws, I can barely travel five tiles without being ambushed by something that explodes, tears my face off, stuns me with its venom and THEN tears my face off, or happens to be on fire for some inexplicable reason.

The World Without Knifebear — A much safer world indeed.
regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

What, nothing that keeps trying to kill you after you've cut off its arms, its legs, and its upper body?

Okay, seriously, the fact I can't get out of the water while drowning or do anything to prevent it is fucking stupid. I've lost 4 Adventurers to it today.

6. Grabbing elbows with your armpit.
34. Strangling people with your armpit. Seriously.

How is that impossible?
Wouldn't a headlock be kinda like strangling people with your armpit?
It mostly depends on which way their heads are facing, I guess.

And I can definately grab elbows with my armpit. I can imagine it happening in desperate wrestling situations, even.
Wether it would be effective is an altogether different story...

The default wrestling attack is a random attack from the entire wrestling list, so you end up doing retarded shit half the time like 'grabbing left foot with right upper arm'
