uber randarts

[Joona]

I don't actually know how the random artifacts work from game to game. If I keep using the same save file, game after game, death after death, do the artifacts remain the same? (Can Mr. Weakling XXVII, the Unemployed Kobold find the same sword that his father held when he died in the dungeon bravely fighting a yellow mold?) If not, WHYYYYYYY?

Random uniques could work the same way though they'd have to be some how related to the creation random artifacts, rarities, levels and resistances provided to keep the game reasonable. In my opinion this would really add a lot to the game, not having to fight Smeagol and Bullroarer every time. Instead, there could be a unique gnome rogue with a cold-branded dagger waiting around the corner.

Maybe I should start a separate thread for this. People who haven't read this thread might have something to add...

No. Artifacts are randomised at birth for every character.

Oh, really, I didn't know. In some variants you have a birth option for that, so that if you are bored with particular randarts, you request another set. Makes YASD just after finding a uber randart a bit less painful.
