Orcs are degenerate elves that were tainted with Evil™.
So yeah.
In my opinion, one cannot forget the Christian element. Only one figure (Sauron) can be said to be a font of nothing but evil, -snip-
That begs the question- how strictly limited to what is possible in LCS are we limited?
You can already sort of do this. It's just that instead of selling them to the shops, you sacrifice everything to Nemelex Xobeh for decks. Although the obscene amounts of weapons usually lands you a ton of destruction decks, which everyone hates.The game does get a bit more interesting after that. In the very early game, you don't have access to many spells or much equipment/items, and don't even have a god yet.
Also what gets me I think is that you can't amass a nice collection of cool stuff you don't need and then sell it for $$$
There are extremely good reasons why the game doesn't let you sell goods at shops. It would encourage you to engage in the extremely tedious task of slogging every item in the dungeon to shops and sell them.
Oh yeah, one more that may divide opinions a bit... The Simpsons. I liked the first seasons but the newer episodes are becoming more and more like generic comedy shows, I'm afraid. Not that it's all bad now, but it's lost the unique touch it once had.
Or maybe I've grown old and cynical.
No a lot of people have noted that.
The Early seasons focused on them being a family and indeed it was often what redeemed and episode wasn't because it was funny but because it was a legitimately good episode.
Later seasons focus on just being a huge farce and if an episode isn't funny then the episode most of the time wasn't worth watching anyway.
I think that they jumped the shark after they changed the title sequence.
I think I have spyware that's using my computer to advertise a new game.
It keeps typing "new game please join the server help it grow!!" And then a website.
I'm running a spyware search, but in the meantime this is really annoying.
Well, that might explain it... I personally dislike stuff being "promoted" just to get neat numbers though, but that's Toady's choice.
Oh no. All the CORE items are new. I don't think any REQs got promoted (or if they did, it was very very few).
I'm not sure if making up completely new goals just to get neat numbers is any better, but again, case-by-case basis and Toady's choice...
Accidentally replaced my post.
Power Goals are another category entirely (and there's over 100 of them!). The Core items are things that are considered to be essential to be completed before the game is considered "Version 1" and out of alpha/beta status. Req and Bloat items are the bells and whistles, with Power Goals defining the direction: things that could happen and should be possible (giant books, being denied entry, cow rustling, having your followers desert you, etc.).
It would be much faster to just surrender to the police and get off in a trial. That will clear your heat immediately through the magical revolving door of liberal criminal justice forgiveness.-
Yup, best way to get out clean. Doesn't matter if you are accused of murder, arson and jaywalking, so long as you have 5000 bucks and a sleeper judge you are assured to be free. Imagine if worked just as easy in real life...
I did say I didn't mind whether it was ASCII or not. If it wastes more space, it could be good to be more economic.

Surprising how many specifically want ASCII/text interfaces... I always liked them myself but still.
It's simple. It's easy to program. It doesn't lag that much unless you are playing a really huge game like DF.
I meant that people prefer the stylistic choice... and, the first one is relative, the second one shouldn't concern most users and lag isn't a common problem in all non-text games.
It could be that we all like DF, and DF is made of ASCII graphics (Or ANSI, or some wizardry) so we associate that with DF, which is quality.
