24/24/14 will/ego/agi, +2 will job, take force bubble, force wall, light manipulation, and esper. Level 5, pick a new random mutation, preferably something highly offensive. Pick up a pistol or rifle early on, musket works well until you can upgrade it, and keep your gear light. Lightest 3 AV armor you can find early on, though upgrade to 4 AV as soon as you can, even if its fairly heavy. A cudgel works wonders for knocking through walls if you must. Get the first glowsphere you see sold in Joppa, and snag butchery.

Standard combat will be to spam Lase until the melee mob reaches you, then pop force bubble to push em away. If forcebubble is about to end, drop a force wall to protect yourself. If your out of Lase shots, start plinking away with your musket. Depending on what you pick up at level 4, you'll have a massive boost to power. If your lucky, you get disintegration, which is utterly amazing with force bubble. Otherwise, any of the other offensive esper abilities are ideal.

*DV will now apply to projectile weapons at a -5 penalty

What does this mean?

[Tarran]

*Many skill requirements and costs reduced

Yes! Thank goodness! It was already hard enough just getting to the level where you can get even half-decent stuff without utterly specializing.

*Aquatic creatures will no-longer move onto land when fleeing

That was possible? Heheheh, that brings an image to mind.

Does this break save compatibility?

Yes, it'll break old saves.

DV didn't apply to missile weapons at all before, only melee attacks. So it's a reasonably large buff to DV. However, it's harder to dodge missile weapons (by -5), unless you have the Swift Reflexes power (which removes the penalty, making dodge [DV] work equally well against missile and melee weapons)

[beorn080]

Does the DV apply to most mutations as well? I can see Sunder Mind being an auto hit, but something like Flame Hands shouldn't be.

Most mutations are unaffected by AV or DV at the moment, that may change in the future.

So, the Mehmet died to an albino ape REALLY early. Like before I've even levelled once early, haven't even talked to him yet. How screwed am I?

Screwed in the way you won't get the watervine quest. That has no real impact outside of the rewards you would've gotten. You can still go Grit Gate if you help Argyve, I think.

Also, remember to kill the elder now, you shouldn't let 1000XP and good loot go to waste.

[Repulsion]

This game gets infuriating to play after a little while. I mean, I load up the game and I get absolutely horrible frames, and such extreme lag. At first, like when I first start a game, I can play just fine. However, around when I get to Golgatha, everything started messing up. I would be able to play a little, able to walk around normally and whatnot, but then it would just... stop. I mean, I wouldn't be able to move, I'd be frozen with lag. My last character, and also my best character, got destroyed when I rage-quit'd after I couldn't move and went away to do something else for a while, then came back to still see it frozen.

Anybody have any tips of not making the game eventually lag it's way to hell?

How much RAM do you have? It's pretty RAM intensive. You could try turning on some of the 'low memory environment' options.

Well you could do that or you coul hope for a few errors, those are fun, and don't seem to effect you too much... Though one bad error and everything can go ka-pluey.
I personally enjoy the errors as they reset the places i've been to, allowing me to explore them again and kill all the creatures again.

My god, adventure as follows.

You are lost (somewhere around the cave of eaters).
Ok, ill just explore a bit.
Oh hey look, downstairs, well, i'm still lost, lets go down them.
"You recognize your surroundings" No i don't.
Well since im here, might as well go to the bottom.
FIFTEEN LEVELS LATER.
A SHIT LOAD of loot, like, 37 copper nuggets, 5 silver nuggets, countless weapons, and many many guns that i had to dissassemble as i have no use of them, oh, and a 6 fingered gauntlent, that was pretty cool.
Came close to dying about three times, twice to a damn ant queen and her workers, one to an ambush of ants and goats, luckily got up the stairs and they woke a slumbering.

Oh, and i got to level 25. Slam is WORTH IT, daaaaaaaaaaamn.
Overall, a great spelunking.
Deepest random level you guys have been down to?

[Tarran]

~3? Something like that.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I went down to level five or so in Red Rock. And then I got attacked by a couple of eyeless giant crabs at once. I got out alive by three hp, so I decided that was probably a sign that I should turn back.
