As in recent games I usually died of... well, indifference (like deliberately attacking a drolem without poison resist), i finally decided that i need to take some action to make the game more intense...
so i ended up trying an ironman character. and i have to say that it works, i'm much more stressed than i usually am at these depths, and feeling stressed definitely helps surviving
didn't start out well, almost all +1/-1 potions took away from my primary stats, especially strength... + i didn't find free action till ~lvl 30, at which time i was also still trying to kill things with a stupid lead-filled mace of slay orc...[just checked the dump, of course i'm exaggerating again found barukkheled on dlvl 26] but now that i have FA, res poison, ESP and a more or less decent weapon, i feel considerably more comfortable.
but i slowly start having inventory problems. already discarded some artifacts, but now i'm a bit clueless... i'm wearing thalkettoth and now i found arvedui. i'd appreciate res nexus, but i tend towards keeping thalkettoth for its +3 speed.
but now i started wondering if maybe i should simply throw away my swap ring of damage +13... or the bow of amras? thing with amras is that i was planning to wear it once my con seems adequately high.
i'm mildly confused...
anyway, i guess i'll ditch arvedui... unless i get other suggestions before it's too late
btw, one thing i love about ironman is that you have to care about everything. not being able to go to town for restocking makes close situations much more interesting... should i drink a !ccw? should i really use one of my last three ?phase door? i really enjoy that...
aah... dump:
