Good incentives to play V?

[johnnybeltz]

I have been introduced into the world of *bands with Z and Tome. I have tried V, but from what I saw while playing 3.0.9, it seems monotonous with no terrain streams or wilderness, amongst other things. It also seems too much of a leverage from what I've heard to use a small weapon, such as a whip, for multiple hits, and the armies of hounds that are found in mid-game does not sound too pleasant...

So, what does V have that would make it preffered over Z and Tome? Please answer!

I'm not much of a fan of ToME-style wilderness, so I like V's basic setup. If you want terrain in a V world, there's always NPP. (And NPP Rogue is a gonzo class.)

... It's the original, and therefore the best.
... it supports the 32x32 graphic tile set.
... it has an active maintainer who's quick to add any crazy suggestion as an option.

It's also a great "control" reference point for putting the divergent variants into perspective. I love the fine line that V walks between progressing the game's evolution and staying true to the original archetype.

Big NPP fan, too, but I always come back to V for some reason. It's my favorite flavor of ice cream, if that's any help.
