Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.0.0RC1 aka "The Mathematics of Tears"

I played one of the Tome 4 versions, and it felt kinda bloated and weird gameplay wise.
I liked the 2.* Tomes, and I usually don't like Skill-based levelling up systems. I didnt like Sangband or Crawl, but I did like Steamband and DoomRL. I'm not sure what causes me to like or dislike skill-based versus automatic levelups.

Actually, was it not for the performance issues and bugs, I'd say that ToME 4 is years ahead of most other roguelikes, or some commercial games. It's just fun to play.
That's why I check every other beta, hoping for crash fixes or performance improvements...so far, despite some slowdowns, this beta is quite promising.

Since its been awhile since I played one of the early betas, I gave the release candidate a try. It worked smoothly for me. Win XP 32 bit.
I was playing a dunadain (equivalent) warrior (equivalent).

I liked the unlocking/achievement aspect. Once I put my mind in the Diablo 2 mindset instead of the angband one I had a lot of fun playing and stayed up all night actually lol.

Sorry for the bitchy tone in my past posts.
