how are they less interesting than humans when both their downside and their upside are more interesting than anything humans have going on(+0 apts wowee)

Humans get gods, arguably the most interesting aspect of Crawl, and even if you find them boring, they're still way more interesting than "Stats!". Hell, one of the gods gets you stats and abilities, with a way more interesting trade off than slow development.

Yeah, I go with strength = encumbrance also, but you can have a little less and be okay, and a little more is always nice. I mostly play casters and hybrids that wear light to medium armor, though. Someone who has a lot of experience with pure melee bruisers might say that you can get away with significantly lower strength than the encumbrance rating.

The issue with ignoring strength on a pure melee bruiser is that it begs the question of what you put the points into instead. If your strength is lower than your ER, both of the other two stats are operating at a really lovely rate for anything a bruiser might want them for.

I haven't really looked at Crawl for like two years now. What is the current state of the game like? Seeing that there's an actual goon fork now, did people get super fed up by something the main devs did?

Most of the recent Crawl updates have at least felt like they removed more things than they added, and what was being removed was more often than not fun poo poo. The devs seem super focused on promoting a play style that bores me to tears.
