This was a variable sort of game, and I'm still not entirely sure how it ended up winning-- since this "strategy" didn't seem very good to begin with. Maybe I've gotten sorta good over various games and by listening to various pieces of advice. I know there were a lot of things, like the usefulness of sharpness and light, that I'd learned long before actually even playing the game, and that I couldn't really apply to the early game.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Galvorn Armour of Maeglin vanished because of too many items in two small a space. Coming from nethack and crawl, where items can be piled fine, this sort of thing is /really/ annoying.

My final game thoughts (aside from the obvious or recorded) were "Apparently stacking constitution and dodging allows you to survive things you don't actually expect to survive", "Wow, there's an entire fortress here for me to replenish my supplies before Carcharoth, how nice", and "can cat assassins actually still kill me? Oh, they can if I don't scare em away by killing cat warriors."

Also, apologies for shifting weirdly between Voice of Maran Gor and Voice of Tactical-Strategical Optimizer. They tend to usually be very clearly separate in my head, but that doesn't necessarily come through in text.

Oh, and apologies for my glacial slowness: I could have shaved off >4k turns if I wasn't so given to double-exploring a level and dancing around messing with equipment and junk.

You'll probably notice I expected to have more time near the end, but that's because I listen to lots of divers instead of anyone who plays like me.

I really wanted that forge. Then I wanted to escape and survive.

congratulations

can you say anything about your choice of secondary weapon? what did you do to angrist?

On 2.2.2014 04:28 Nivim wrote:
It's wasn't really a choice; I stupidly broke Angrist getting the second Sil (I thought I would be prompted as to which weapon to use for some sleep-exhausted reason [I even thought I got the third without breaking Nargil, after of course trying to use my bare fists]).
Use-wise, I actually switched between the two (swapping main-off-hand is annoying sometimes) depending on whether I wanted the bit of extra EV and whether I wanted more armour piercing crits.
I could have made a really cool weapon instead of the smithing hammer ("Rigid Mantle"), but as the comment five above, my perception of how much time I had left was warped.
