I would suggest that you (or someone) gets that rune-based ID in the game ASAP.

Or those Rods of Identify with area effect, I think they are in one of the dev versions. They coulld be deep and rare so that they would just show up when you are in desperate need while standing amidst countless objects after cleaning out a pit or a vault.

They're in the comp154 version, but not in V.

No Selling option, definitely. Not only because it improves the game so much, but because I consider it a stroke of creative game design insight. It never seemed an obvious idea or direction to go until it was presented, as far as I recall.

The shaped rooms are interesting, but I find the "cavern" levels annoying somehow, I usually exit those as soon as possible. What I'd really like to see are the themed levels and terrain from NPP -- dragon pits, lava, forrest, etc. Special monster pit levels are a huge challenge and a great place to practice creative digging and tactics.

wow. most of the things that i like have already been mentioned.

exept for making autohaggle an option.

You want to haggle? That's really old school.

I'm pretty sure Nick agrees with this sentiment (and I do too) so I think something like this will be high on the docket "after the refactor"

Squelch and Auto Inscriptions.

I miss a lot from former versions though. Although I have yet to win, it seems so much easier than it used to be.

I hope outdoors levels don't make it into V. I wouldn't mind some of the underground flavor though.

No forests in dungeon please. They just don't make any sense. Themed levels like spider-infested ones with webs slowing you down would make nice variety though. Maybe add chasms that are more than just traps that act a bit like permanent walls, but without blocking LoS. Maybe flying monsters and monsters with pass_wall could pass those areas (game really needs flag for flying).

I'm not particularly stuck on the forest (there is precedent in our world, of greenery (mosses) growing in caverns, I believe). But lava, ice, acid, chasms, etc., where the ground can magnify or impede various effects like fire and cold, and at very least the huge monster-themed pits, would be great.

Oh and quests are really cool, too, IMHO. Really puts you into the "hunting" mood.

It would be fun to have epic effects/spells that affect terrain in a grand way, too. A spell/effect that cause massive rivers to split through the rocks and course through the level. maybe carrying away monsters that are in its way, that kind of thing.

This might be a little OTT for vanilla, but the poschengband (? or earlier ?) thing where Gothmog creates a 3-square-wide river of lava behind him when he walks is pretty badass.

Nice. I agree it's probably a bit far for Vanilla, but now I'm retired I can push whatever zany features I want.

I find flooded rooms and huge vaults with a huge crack filled with lava in them like I'm seeing in Sang to be an awsome feature. Gives you a real "Im in Hell" point of view.
