    Only inevitable in the Aristotlean sense that 'good' is that toward which all things aim.

      I don't know if that holds true for Angband variants. People play for different reasons. I understand my own desires very well, and optimize my variant to satisfy them as well as possible. Looking at the computer games nowadays, satisfying my kind of gamers is a pretty niche market...

      There are probably more than one "perfect" roguelikes in the Platonic world of ideas.

      I don't really understand, deep down on the emotional level, what draws people to Angband. Therefore I probably couldn't design a better Angband.

        Then I think what you're aiming for is, more technically, EudaemonisticBand.

        Plato lists four 'cardinal virtues' that are necessary for attaining this 'goodness' (or eudaemonia) and I would definitely play a variant where the four stats are:

        WISdom
        COUrage
        MODeration
        and
        JUStice!

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”
