Stabbed a bronze colossus to death with an adamantine dagger that was the only thing able to damage it at that moment as my platinum masterful greataxe and shield didn't do squat.
Platinum's nice and dense, but dull. So great for blunt weapons, but not for edge. I'll one up Random_Dragon and say platinum whip!
Btw I don't like whips, but I thought it needed to be said.
Also Droggarth, don't mind Uzu. He's just ornery. His posts though are always worth reading.
Yeah, Uzu even thinks it is cheesy when I hack and punch and dodge and generally survive a steelboned dragon battle and then use those bones to make kickass weapons (and a pile of crap ones), dunno why, it isn't a competitive game, but we've all got different senses for what earning something means I suppose. :p
Heh, It's alright. Uzu's post thankfully didn't affect me as I happend to read Peasant Cretin's (what's with the name? I don't consider you either a peasant or a cretin) first. Anyway for me personally earning something in a game usually means cheating to have fun my way and that platinum greataxe even with the artifact status was just not all that fun to use (didn't function the way I wanted) so I made it adamantine to have awesome hack ability. I'm disliking my greatsword in the main hand though but in a sense that it doesn't fit my demon's style, however when I imagine that artifact adamantine greatsword as a long and menacing
broadsword with Khorne/chaos inscriptions. Oh hell yeah! But a regular long and thin like a claymore.. basically a sharp stick for my demon who yearns to hack, maim, charge and mutilate? Nope.
Really need to try out an artifact platinum maul however.. who knows, might just be my demon's style and as with all male characters in games. I'm getting bored of playing as a male Drogoth (aka demonized Dingoth). The main reason why I started playing Dwarf Fortress's adventure mode was so I could play as a thick-boned muscular/bodybuilder mutant beast woman with feminine features intact.. well, intact for warped self and for my Dingoths/Drogoths as they value gender equality and women who can defend themselves and excel in battle.
This is one of the fine examples of what you never get to play as in 99.9% of single-player RPG games (Legend of Grimrock I&II is the only thing that comes close):
