I really enjoyed playing this a while back, always going True Human for my first ten or so characters. Finally had a good one going, and even managed to get up to level 17 before contracting glotrot.
I just recently started playing again, and I have been having enough of a blast to forgive the game for how annoying Glotrot is, although I am staying away from Gologtha for as long as humanly possible.
New character is a mutated human gunslinger with Precogniton, Pyrokinesis, and Time Dilation who picked up Wings and Force Bubble through random mutations. Really enjoying the survivability. Currently using twin carbide daggers for close range, and akimbo pistols for anything troublesome.
I had quite a few missteps while I was sorting this build out. The first three characters I tried died for really stupid reasons. The only one that really hurt was the one that lucked into some weird artifact=semi auto pistols really early.
So far, I've had some great fights with my evil clone, but the first one was the best. I was aimlessly wandering the salt, hoping for some XP in the form of Lairs, but finding a lot of nothing. My character sensed an evil presence, and it was showdown time. We took turns blasting at each other with fireballs before taking to the air for a slow motion John Woo gun battle.
I'm dreading running into him in any water-rich environment, though. I foresee steam death for everyone.
