I´ve gotten as far as going to the troll city/camp and searching for the mcguffin there, but the cominbation of troll berserkes and a dozen spells being cast while one clawed monster king crabs rip me a new one is pretty bad news.

There are some unforgiving things in this game some times. I had this nearly immortal character. But then I went downstairs and it was a Jelly level. There were 5 big green Js right next to the stairs. I didn't even get a turn, I was DOA.

Once you learn how to make some kind of mkIII grenade and have the lay mine skill you can most likly deal with every enemy - given perpetration time.

Swipe and the windmill stance (hit all enemys once) saved me so many times...

Heading into the deadlands to find some rare tinkering bits, my first journey there.

There are some unforgiving things in this game some times.

I just lost a promising 6th level character by walking in to my own generated steam (flaming hands over a stream) and instantly dying. It might be nice if there was the possibility for the game to not let you walk straight in to 'dangerous terrain' without a prompt (it's not unreasonable for an intelligent being to think twice about walking straight in to a boiling cloud of vapour .. )

But then again, I suppose in these things lie the very charms of roguelike gaming ...

Not everything... And be careful with what your beguiled friend might aggravate. You might not be able to deal with it.

Argh. Finished the critter quest and my .SAV file is 286MB large, plus saving takes at least four minutes.

Really wish I could play this! Crashes straight after character creation (console mode).

Crappy intel laptop. Grumblegrumblegrumble.

Umm... Umm... Unormal, I've got a friendly evil twin without even doing anything to him... That's certainly a bug.

Also, I got a glowpad stem and a glowpad root system in the same screen, which I've never gotten before. So I have a feeling that this one screen is bugged in some way.

Edit: And I got this four or five times every turn after that after returning to the same screen from the cave below;

This is similar to that bug from the game I sent you before Unormal. I have a feeling the evil twin mutation might be the cause of that bug.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Yup I'll fix it up.

Unormal, another bug; when I got a bill from the beak defect, the game treats it like horns, with the horn description and the ability to attack with the bill.

Yup:

RunSegment:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007007A): The data area passed to a system call is too small. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007A)
   at ConsoleLib.Console.TextConsole.WriteConsoleOutput(IntPtr hConsoleOutput, CHAR_INFO[] lpBuffer, COORD dwBufferSize, COORD dwBufferCoord, SMALL_RECT& lpWriteRegion)

   at XRL.EntryPoint.Main(String[] args) in X:\Documents\Programming\C#\XRL\XRL Application\Game Core\XRL.EntryPoint.cs:line 64

If there is an easy solution that would be awesome! But this thing (intel GMA 950) is more than a little notorious for incompatibility with games that I don't dare get my hopes up.
