Okay, after some practice and learning, I managed to get a character fairly far down. http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=13623
However, I really noticed that there were not very many ego's being dropped. In fact, the only "egos" I got were from uniques all game, and they were all useless as well. I also noticed (to my great annoyance!) that it seems like the items a rogue can sell to the store changes over time - meaning that very nearly everything I found was not able to be sold when I was willing to part with it!
it seems that the deeper you go, the better the item has to be for the store to buy it - Mikko, Is this correct? I was really stunned to find out that my rougue was ending up poor nearly all of the time, with just barely enough cash to scrape by with a few items and such, and unable to sell most of his loot. (I did know to check each item for store value).
all in all, it was exciting playing such a character, but disappointing to die after making it so deep, and having nothing really "Neat" to show for it. Being Felpuur, (lucky, right?) I was really underwhelmed.
by the way - Powder vials are absolute LIFESAVERS 0_0. I don't know how many scrapes those things got me out of.
Please don't take this as condemning, BTW, I really did enjoy the game - I just think that items and ego drops may still need some rebalancing.
last note - (Scatterbrained, sorry) I noticed that you cannot drop ego torches on a temple - I had hoped that would work - and if it doesn't, it should be listed along with arrows as not working. - also, are "Lizardman / hunter / felpuur / kobold, etc. considered "Ego"? Meh, I'll check the ego.txt file to see.
