Used to play nethack, but it did not mesmerize me as much as ADOM does. Brilliant sense of humour, nice graphic tileset, but lacks certain qualities that ADOM has (like a more intuitive inventory system).

It's definitely worth giving it a try.

I dislike bumping things over a month old

It still doesn't belong in various nonsense, maybe before, but these days it's the other games forum.
Nonsense is for nonsense now, apparantly.

This is an other game.

[SHAD0Wdump]

And so it belongs in the other games forum.

You know,right above various nonsense?

[Psyco Jelly]

Wow. I had no Idea that even existed.

Well, NetHack is almost lighthearted enough to fit in here, so whatever.

How do you guys usually do the early game? I look for the Gnomish Mines, run in, go down a few levels, and get killed.

[Cthulhu]

I do the same thing, but I protect my pet, and I'm more careful in the mines.  If you sprint for Minetown you can get a quick artifact from the altar, and it'll really make the first bit easier.  If you're really lucky, you can get a unicorn horn in the lower parts. 

I'm not a fan of Nethack though.  How people found out the things they found out about it is beyond me.  The Oracle can provide for a bit, but only a bit.

[inaluct]

They Source Dive.

Anyway, I don't know how to tell what alignment an altar is, so I never get artifacts from them. 

[Psyco Jelly]

Just use semicolon to see what anything is. You can convert altars by sacrificing to them, but I wouldn't recommend it. It can change your alignment or make you god ANGRY.

[Royal Surveyor]

I managed to change an altar's alignment once with a wizard that later ascended (stockpiles of spellbooks placed strategically and copious use of the wizard artifact is a great help).

Anyway, a damn named demon shows up once the altar changed alignment.   Oh, crap... Nope.  It was friendly, seeing as I was chaotic, turning the altar to chaotic.

Of course, he did try to kill me on the way out if I recall right.

If it wasn't for NetHack, I'd probably have not got myself mired in DF.

[mutant mell]

I would have to say that I highly recommend converting altars, assuming that your level is >4 and your alignment isn't negative.  It's pretty easy, and the rewards are great.

[Chaos]

I used to play some NetHack years ago. Never got far though. Maybe (character) level 11 or something. I've played a LOT of a certain Angband variant though but that isn't what we're talking about here and that's pretty different anyhow. So nevermind, please ignore the previous sentence.

[inaluct]

ZAngband? FAngband? GAngband? LAngband? Mangband? NPPAngband?

[Chaos]

ToME. Which is actually a ZAngband variant if I remember correctly, but anyway.

[Cthulhu]

I used to play ToME a lot.  The farthest I ever got was like mid-20s in level.  I was almost to the Old Forest's boss, but there were ghost wolves or something like that coming from everywhere, and I was in the water, and I died D:
