Dungeons of Dredmor is, in one word, the-seriously-best-game-ever.

No? Well, maybe I'm overstating. But it's definitely one of the best -if not THE best- Roguelike I've ever played. I will always return to this game. It will constantly captivate me in its shiny roguelike eyes. Maybe it's because every character you make can have a new and exciting build. Maybe it's because no run-through is exactly the same. Maybe it's because there's actual crafting that's better than in some big name MMO's. Maybe it's because your death is always your own damn fault. Or maybe it's because diggles are so cute (but they hate you so much). I don't know, probably all of the above (definitely). I will always love this game and this game will always show me a good time. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

Negatives? The humor is sometimes a little too much, I think, like every-blooming-thing needed to be funny. Oh, there's funny in there, but sometimes you just want the flavor texts to give it a rest already. Furthermore, I guess the art style turns off some people, not me personally, but I've heard it as a complaint. I can understand that, but my advice would be to ignore it and just try it.

You won't be disappointed. 10/10, great game.

Nice randomness there! You're like a living, breating (?) roguelike :newsword:

Its different every time. sometimes when i feel kind of cold i go for a kind of warrior build, other times i might go for some sort of mix when my toughts are scrambled and more commonly i try to make a character out of how i feel or have previously felt.

For some reason i also worship my account of some sort of hocrux of god when im playing or crying myself to sleep too.

Hmmm, that's pretty specific, I guess? What is the right body temperature, smell, atmosphere and sexual tension though? Does anyone know?

Its one of my favorites indeed, its pretty bad i need to have the right: body temprature, smell, athmophere and sexual tension to play this game enjoyably :(
