By the way, have you tested the dagger in your inventory? It would be embarrassing if it were...
On 20.1.2012 17:28 half wrote: That is an impressively dismal armour rating you have there, despite your excellent shield. Are the boots there to help with webs? Or does your high perception do the job?
I imagine Listen has been very useful. Scatha and I have debate the order of importance for acquiring seven key stealth related Abilities for characters like this, and which Races/Houses facilitate them:
Disguise -> Vanish
Song of Silence -> Song of Lorien -> Woven Themes
Keen Senses -> Listen
I see you got all of the easy ones immediately, then Listen, then Vanish, then Lorien, then Woven Themes. I'm a bit surprised therefore that you are not of Finarfin's House, as I would think that would be slightly easier. Of course you did end up with six Song Abilities...
On 20.1.2012 17:52 Satyr wrote: Yes it's mainly the song dependence that made me go for a Sindar. You lose ~ 1 point of stats this way, but you don't need str or con anyways...
The boots are indeed free action and anti-webs. The dagger showed some glowing, so not The One. An identify staff showed a bit later that it was a mere slay raukar dagger.

A staff of Revelations found at 650' helped a lot, I even had to do two levels twice, for beeing too fast :)
On 20.1.2012 18:25 Satyr wrote: BTW, the throne room scene had some comedy value: hacking at his crown with song of sharpness on woke him up every time (even with silence as minor theme). So it went like hack - put V back to sleep - hack - put V back to sleep etc.
On 20.1.2012 18:44 Scatha wrote: Congratulations, again!
For the jewel, did you try Silence as the major theme and Sharpness as the minor? Would only change your effective stealth by 3 (or maybe 2) points, but it's possible that could have helped. I don't know how much the lower sharpness would have hindered you.
I think you now have a significantly better picture of the pure stealth game than anyone else. Which bits of it do you find are particularly easy/hard/fun/not-fun?
On 20.1.2012 18:51 Scatha wrote: Also: there's no way I'll be beating this on turns, so in the spirit of friendly competition, I'd best try to ensure Felagund gets at least a pair! :)

But it wasn't much of a problem, since he was drowsy enough to be put back to sleep with one round of lorien.
The hardest part is probably until you get listen, after that you can chose were to go to avoid danger. But I don't think it ever gets too easy, you have to move very carefully all the time to not get trapped in a corridor.
The fun part is certainly that you can see all the interesting monsters and deep items rather quickly. But you are very limited in your actions. So after a time it gets a bit monotonous, as you skip a whole part (and probably the most entertaining part) of the game, the complete combat system.
So I'd say, although this is a very effective build, the stealth/assassin or combat archetypes I tried so far were even more entertaining.
I'll use the occasion to thank you for this excelent game! It's astonishing how well most things work together, and how gameplay and settings seem to be just right; It's obvious that a lot of thinking, work and enthusiams have allready been put into this gem (no pun) of a game!
On 20.1.2012 20:02 half wrote: Great work again Satyr! and I'm so glad you appreciate the work we put into designing the game -- there were a *lot* of evenings spent with Scatha discussing evolutionary changes to the game over the last few years and a lot of weekends of coding too. It is very gratifying to hear people enjoying the fruits of the decisions we agonised over.
For being the first (and second) winner of the game since its release, I would like to offer you the chance to create an Artefact or a Vault. If you look through the artefact.txt file, you will see a number of people/places which deserve artefacts named after them, but which don't yet have them, or perhaps one of your characters should get a fitting artefact? Alternatively, look at vault.txt and think about making a new vault of some sort. Perhaps a new Greater Vault? We have one for each of the level 24 uniques, but only one that can occur much earlier in the dungeon (The Cat Fortress). Perhaps we need another? Have a think about it, and let me know by private message.

Yes, once you get listen you at least have a chance at skill play. Until then, it's kind of a crapshoot as there are a LOT of nasty ways to die.
On 21.1.2012 01:02 Scatha wrote: decoy: You can actually get Listen right at the start if you're of the House of Finarfin. I tried that with one of my characters -- http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=12229 -- and it seemed to work reasonably in the early game. I haven't tested it much, though.
On 21.1.2012 01:21 decoy wrote: Scatha: Indeed, I too am testing such a character, since a more "balanced" approach tends to be rather random and not very successful (and frankly, it was getting a bit boring). The key difference seems to be that then, you can see your demise coming (since your investments into stealth and song are correspondingly reduced...)
