Your right, it is too easy if you play only a few minutes into the game...

Unfortunately that's where it counts, I played for only 30 minutes and stopped because it wasn't very hard.

D&D borrows many concepts and terms from LotR. And as you said, fantasy isn't really anything new.

I bet you think it's too easy if you give up a few minutes into the game.

Yes, elements are put in multiple games, but there is a big difference between real video games, and games like this. This is a rip-off of D&D just as much as snakes and ladders is a rip-off of shoots and ladders. Though Half-Life isn't considered a rip-off of Wolfenstein 3D, is it?

Like what? Fantasy? It was around way before LotR... And the board game was made way after D&D...

Now your just being pathetic. It's way too easy.

I've got plenty of other unforgiving games to beat at the moment... maybe when I get through those.

If you don't want permadeath, press Ctrl-X. In my opinion, that makes it less fun, but whatever floats your boat.

perma-death? Do not want. There's always something that manages to kill me, especially in games like this.

NetHack - a roguelike

Hey, does anyone play NetHack? It's a very challenging roguelike in which the goal is to ascend into a demigod. There's the ASCII variant and then there's the (more) graphical variant which I believe can be used by those with Windows. Sometimes you'll laugh, sometimes you'll cry, but you'll die a lot before you win for the first time (emphasis on the dying part, since your save is deleted unless you cheat by moving the save somewhere else, or enter explore mode.
