I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.Ģ. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them.
I checked the frog-knows documentation and based on the descriptions of the attributes it seems like this mechanic is still present - if you try wielding a dagger or short sword and attack a baddie, do you see multiple attack messages showing up? You can try just buying a nonmagical one in town and attack the NPCs to test things. The second is how many times you can attack with your weapon per turn, which is based on your strength, dex, class, and weapon weight. This is based on items with “of speed” bonuses (which you mention finding) and spells, potions, and other items of speed (in the modern game, these are all additive but there are diminishing returns not sure how it’s implemented in frog-knows.
#ANGBAND STATS FULL#
Player speed and number of blows are separate mechanics - the first governs how often your turn comes up (or, as you mostly experience it, how many additional turns fast enemies get before you get to go - this is important because as you’ve probably learned breath attacks and big-damage spells are the most dangerous things in the mid and late game, and if a monster gets off two of those in a row and you don’t resist the element, that can be enough to kill you from full health). Without those the additional guesswork makes it seem much more challenging. Geez, not having inspect is rough - later versions also have a handy additional character info page laying out your resistances and abilities which makes the gear game much more manageable and fun. The game would be cooler if you were really penetrating Angband, but the Moria roots are too strong and it's just featureless level after featureless level. I really liked the Tolkien flavor added to Moria, but there just aren't enough characters in his books, and Angband goes really deep into the Silmarillion to harvest each and every name. I think I quit just so I could get into the high score table. This is less cool, and I just gave up instead of dying. But when pluses get into the teens, everything about your character just merges together and you become just another midgame-endgame PC. I remember the first time I played, I found a whip of fire that got multiple attacks because it was so lightweight. The fun part of the game IMO is the beginning to midgame, when characters are different and upgrading your equipment confers real benefits. But Angband experts rave about how long it is and how great that is.
If it ended at level 30 it would be just about right. Don't feel you need to finish this one, sheer bloody-mindedness only goes so far. It rewards the obsessive type of player who wants to play, play, play week after week. Angband is a great game that just goes on too long. Yeah, well you're not the only one who thought that.
