Death by 1000 Taunts. DoD doesn't really require massive modification during your first playthrough.

i've been playing it on and off for a long time. never won, but that's more of a "got bored" problem than a "don't know how to play" problem

Are there any mods for inventory stuff? Also should I level up Archaeology and how far if so? Debating that vs Leylines for teleport which I know I will need, just not sure if I can be greedy and level the other first.

Debating that vs Leylines for teleport which I know I will need, just not sure if I can be greedy and level the other first. I typically put the points in Archaeology to get to Museum, maybe Charlemagne if I lack any sort of panic buttons, and then save the rest of the tree for dead last. Assuming you're running a magic-using build, Leylines will give you much more utility in the long run, as all you'll get out of Archaeology is some levels in Trap Disarming and some skills that just futz with your equipment.

Museum is probably the second greatest skill in the game, right behind the Pyromancer's dragon summon.

Between the game itself and the seperate beta key from back when they were doing that for patch betas, I have 332 hours. I've beaten the game a handful of times, only one of which being on Going Rogue perma-death (for the achievement), and never since getting the extra five floors from the expansion. [EDIT] And I think my one GRPD win was before they finally nerfed Pyromancy into not being a complete gamebreaker. Copycat Zero fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Nov 27, 2014 |

So I finally decided to install this and give it a try after owning it since it came out and I have been mostly hitting the random button just to see what each skill does or has in store for me. Now that I want to play the game in earnest, I realize I'm not very good and building a character. I tried just looking at builds others have posted but most were posted 3 years ago when the game first came out and are based on skills that have now been retooled and are completely different. I feel like burglary should be in every build simply for the free lock picks and xp but I honestly don't know if its truly worth it or not and I should just brute my way through traps and such. It seems like monsters re-spawn on a floor since I will run into a random 1 monster sometimes when I am backtracking but I'm not sure. Also, are you not expected to fill out all your skill trees by the time you reach dredmor and beyond? EDIT: I forgot to add, is there any gear that boosts trap affinity or do you only get it from skills? BAILOUT MCQUACK! fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Jan 17, 2015 |

Also, are you not expected to fill out all your skill trees by the time you reach dredmor and beyond? Monsters do gradually respawn, though it's not fast enough to really make a habit of grinding. Whether or not you fill out all your skill trees depeneds entirely on your skill loadout and difficulty; on the easiest difficulty with Archaelogy (for It Belongs In A Museum and trap affinity) and a source of lockpicks, you'll generally get to about L30 if you make a point to kill absolutely everything you come across. On the flipside, on Going Rogue without any bonus EXP-granting skills or abilities, you might - might hit L25 by the time you reach Dredmor (if you make it that far). Considering that skill trees have generally 4-7 skills (not counting your original skill in the tree) you'll generally get 2/3 to 3/4ths done on average, though you can easily fill out your trees if you've got a mostly melee-based build. Trap affinity does show up occasionally on artifact equipment, but if you want it on non-enchanted equipment, you're basically looking at the Trapper's Toolbelt (+2 trap affinity) or mod-created items. That said, a fair number of skills boost trap affinity; aside from Tinkering and Smithing, both Burglary and Archaeology boost it pretty substantially, and Perception grants crazy amounts of Trap Sight, which makes it far easier to avoid traps if you don't have the skills to disarm them. The appeal of Burglary isn't the lockpicking, though, it's the free items from vending machines. Trust me, deeper in the dungeon, when vending machines start stocking Bolts of Mass Destruction and Clockwork Sawblades/Holy Hand Grenades, the free Burglary item will save you an unholy boatload of money.

Can items be hidden in 1 square rooms that are completely walled off, kind of like the 1 square islands? I have seen a areas that look perfect for this sort of thing and I figured there might be a way to reach them. EDIT: Is the Wyrmling supposed to have health regen? It seems awfully powerful with it and I think the effect comes and goes. It must be tied to one of my stats. BAILOUT MCQUACK! fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Jan 19, 2015 |

Yeah there are some walls that are destructible by certain skills. I'm not sure which all skills work, but I know thrown grenades and most AoE magic works. Try the viking magic shout or pyromancy's fireball.

Double post. So can you pick up any trap if your affinity is high enough? It just seems like any gargoyle trap I just can't pick up which makes sense, since the gargoyle can't come with you.

Yeah you can pick up any trap that doesn't have a wall launcher associated with it, although there was a funny bug many patches ago where you could sometimes find gargoyle traps as loot, and placing one on the ground would magically spawn a gargoyle on the wall to the north of it.

BAILOUT MCQUACK! posted:Will rocket powered punch work on breakable walls? I couldn't find anything conclusive. If not what is the deciding factor on what skills WILL break the walls? Most of the time you're just going to have to experiment and learn the map. Rocket Punch leaves a smoke trail, but it's not an AOE skill so it won't break walls. It is useful for knocking items off islands. Rocket JUMP, however, will break walls as long as you blast off or touch down next to them.

Glazius posted:Most of the time you're just going to have to experiment and learn the map. Be careful with that, though, because until your HP or Fire Resistance is high enough, each rocket jump is gonna hurt like the dickens. (Dickens hurt a lot.) If you have it, Parabolic Goomba Stomp has an AOE that breaks walls, too. The basic rule of thumb is "is it an AOE skill that you can cast without an enemy nearby". Thus, Fireball and the Clockwork jumps work, but weapon skills don't. As far as "can you tell where they are": Sometimes a secret room will very barely be visible when you pass by it (usually you can see the top wall of it but have no way to get there) but mostly it's a matter of intuition. There's only so many room layouts in the game, and the ones with secret rooms will always have secret rooms in the exact same spots.

Gotta ask, with high end items costing almost 100k possibly, is money really an issue in this game? I have only got as low as level 3 (mostly from indecision) and I wonder if picking up traps to sell them is something to really consider. EDIT: Sorry for all the individual questions that are rather specific, but in all the time this game has been out I can't find much info on these kinds of things. A lot of it is just repeated.

Money is important early on so you can grab out-of-depth items in shops and it's important later on so that you can buy lots of high end ammo. If you pull a piece of endgame jewelry out of a fountain you're pretty well set, yes, but you definitely can't count on that.

That being said, there's several ways to exploit stores to make it easier to amass a solid fortune and/or acquire any items for sale in vending machines and shops that are nice (some more obviously intended than others).

The more I play this game the more my OCD kicks in. Tell me that walking through traps and picklocking doors isn't all that necessary in the grand scheme of things. Since I have only made it as low as the 4 level I don't actually know how much xp you generally get from sending high end artifacts to the museum. I don't even get mad when a monster walks on a trap because I want the xp, its because I want to sell that trap to Brax. I need help.

Don't worry about it, it's a very tiny ammount of XP and gold you can get from traps and doors. There are many other ways to break the game that are way, way more effective. Sending stuff to the museum is an excellent way to get lots of XP so send stuff you don't need right away, it's usually worth it.

I meant to add, is there ever anything of actual note in the brown chests? At this point I feel like bashing them open and not caring if I break it.

Occasionally you'll get potions or food or booze from them that are handy to have, or, ironically enough, more lockpicks. It's not going to ruin a run if you bash chests, though. The most important stuff is typically either self-made, bought from a shop, or an artifact.

I wish the info out there was a little more comprehensive. I really want to know what skills actually blow open secret walls. Namely Remember Your Charlemagne. I can't seem to distill from all the conflicting info out there what it is that makes a skill able to break down a wall.
