Rolled up an axe turtle in CoQ, headed to Red Rock, explored for a bit, had a knock-down, drag-out fight with a Snapjaw Brute, won, rested up, got tangled up in a Jilted Lover, died. Just couldn't hit the thing to save my life, literally.

At very low levels that can occasionally happen since you probably have like 10 agility and 22 hit points and jilted lovers can do a decent chunk of damage if they grab you and you keep whiffing your attacks. Carry a bow or musket and shoot at 'em from two squares away for the first few levels. Later on you're so loving strong and durable that you'll wander through their grabs without immediately noticing anything is happening half the time.

Guns are a good idea in general. Just about any of them will be stronger and penetrate better than your melee attacks til you get carbide or better weapons. Of special note is the flamethrower, since it is really a 15 penetration shotgun with way more accuracy, a couple extra pellets.

Things I learned today: 1) It is entirely possible to sunder your own mind if you're lazy with targeting and mash the button, assuming it'll snap to the nearest enemy instead of defaulting to your tile. 2) The tough Machinimist bodyguards at the bottom of Bethesda Susa have Mental Mirror. 3) If you're a psychic mega-wizard with rank 11 Sunder Mind, massive Ego, and mediocre Willpower, sundering yourself really hurts  On the bright side, I got this dude's radical Ego-increasing robe to go with my knollworm skull and now I'm a psychic giga-wizard and can sunder myself even harder!4) Walking up to the back of the cybernetic thingies in Bethesda Susa and hitting space lets you steal the modules out of them. You can't do anything with them, but you can steal them out of spite in revenge for the stupid racist computers not letting mutants use their services. So I guess I have an ornamental Eigencannon now. dis astranagant posted:Of special note is the flamethrower, since it is really a 15 penetration shotgun with way more accuracy, a couple extra pellets. Whoa. I always thought it was mainly for applying damage-over-time, but if it also hits enemies with raw fire damage via multiple projectiles, that's pretty badass. I gotta get one of those on my next bruiser. edit: I also noticed a bug with Clonelings and Temporal Fugue. When a Cloneling fights one of your time clones, it can clone the clone, creating a creature called [Creature] that looks like a time clone and seems to have no equipment or abilities, as well as completely lacking a description of any kind.

Fates of my various axe turtles: 1) Killed by a jilted lover 2) Found a yuckwheat stem and 40 drams of water in the Joppa houses, and the camel trader had a folded carbide battle axe. Got killed by the trader while trying to shoot him down with a musket. 3) Wandered into Red Rock and was immediately accosted by a Snapjaw Brute and its entourage. 4) Entered Joppa, and Mehmet immediately attacked Warden Ualraig, with predictable results. Lacking a way to start the What's Eating the Watervine quest, committed suicide by snapjaw. EDIT 5) encountered a bear on level 2 of Red Rock, fled, got lost en route back to Joppa, and was killed by his evil twin.

The watervine quest is completely optional and I don't recommend doing it til after you do the weirdwire quest. If you get screwed out of starting artifacts just ctrl+w for metal folding chairs, which are worthless for anything but starting the main quest.

I would recommend against taking Evil Twin on axe turtles. Beyond a point you'll be randomly getting into brutal dismemberfights with yourself, which is highly metal but not great for your survivability. Take Spontaneous Combustion, Ravenous, or Amphibious. They're all fairly easy to manage.

So i've been listening to KillerofLawyers play Catacylsm and a wonderful conversation followed, I'm wondering if Caves of Qud has something like this or can have something like this added: You know that super cool character you were playing on another save that you abandoned awhile back? Yeah, that's now an NPC in your new world with your new character. Hope you like running away from the mutated dryad queen with alluring fae features who sprouts overgrowth in her wake that you just finished min/maxing you motherfucker!

Qud chat After sending more than a few True Men to their graves; then remembering to: bring bandages for those goddamn true ivories, run away from pink (legendary) snapjaws, invest in butchering so I don't starve, invest in toughness to +4 for the necessary extra hp, and throw freeze grenades FAR away so you don't freeze yourself and look on morosely while the badass monster who resisted freezing leisurely paper cuts you to death; I FINALLY got a True Man to level 7 and traveled to Kyakukya. Evidently I accidentally ran into Svenlainard, which turned him hostile, which in turn caused Warden Indrix to terminate him. Now it's amusing when the Argyve beats the Six-Day Silt cultist to a pulp for interrupting his valuable concentration. But when Svenlainard dies this way, I can get his killer swords and the rest of his gear without effort. Seems too easy. Also in the latest build I can apparently escape from any zone situation to the overland even when enemies are chasing me. The only times I cannot get out of a zone and move to the overland is when I'm lost. This was not the case in previous versions and it seems too easy now.

As far as I know, wearing multiple shields does not grant any advantage, and is actually detrimental since you get the DV penalty from all of them. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be possible, but it kinda owns regardless.
