Nethack

(1/355) > >>

LegoLord:
I just started playing nethack this morning, and I love it so far.  A little while ago, as a samurai, a broke a marble wand and killed my dog because I hit "a" (apply) instead of "z" (zap).  With another, I prayed too often and my god got angry.  I roled as a dwarf archeologist, made it pretty far, but then got killed by a giant bat after surviving all manner of things an archeologist shouldn't survive.

So who else has played this game, and what do you think of it?

Solifuge:
My roomie has been playing it since the 80's, on Telnet clients and old DOS computers. I was only introduced to it within the last 3 years, but the fact that the game is still played regularly after over 3 decades says something about Nethack.

ILikePie:
I love Netahck, its my favorite RL.
I love monks, farthest I've ever gotten was level 9 with monk, after surviving an orcish throne room. (Deadly crap) Monks get the "warning" ability early on, so I knew when and where the orcs'll come from. I don't remember what killed me though.

LegoLord:
Heh, I put on a pair of cursed hiking boots.  Now I fall down stairs.

Okay, he died.  Now I'm playing as a monk that got turned into a lich by toxic waste in a sink.  I drank until it became a sink, the kept drinking until a water demon appeared.  I tried running, but it followed me and killed me.

Empty:
I started an elf wizard and got lucky early with a wow in a shop. So had my cat steal it.
Wished for a magic marker and blessed bag of holding.
Recharged the wand again and got another 3 wishes.

Wished for:
blessed fixed +3 silver dragon scale armour.
blessed fixed +5 gauntlets of power.
blessed fixed +5 boots of speed.

Wested the last wish from it and wished for a master key of thievery.
Boo for that 20 damage when picking it up but yay for half physical damage.

Cleared out the mines and converted the altar in minetown to my alignment. Killed the priest.
Sacrificed stuff for a magicbane which I enchanted to +4.
Got candles from shop and luckstone which I blessed from bottom of mines.
Dipped a spare spellbook in water and made a spellbook of identify with my marker.
Have now a reliable way of identifying things.
Got to oracle and solved sokaban. I now have 4 bags of keeping ::)
And am now on my way to that fort level.

I think I have a very high change of getting that darn amulet now.
