#the mumble mouth + waxflab were just too much apparently GFNDMNNG

playing on wander mode does have the like horrible little elitist devil on my shoulder going "you're not getting the REAL experience" but like. i just don't like hardcore/permadeath roguelikes. i find them very frustrating and unfun & if i were playing classic or even roleplay i probably would've dropped the game already. as is ive dumped 20 hours into one character so far and im having a fucking blast i adore it, it's absolutely easier but it's not like a straight godmode sort of deal where it makes it so trivial as to be uninteresting. there's still potential major losses, there's still places where i get my shit pushed in, etc etc its like the perfect amount of challenge for me when combat does happen & i get to do a shitload of exploring id be scared off of otherwise

#plus i think the general neutral starting rep allows for some very very funny situations #as you do go along and gain/lose reputation through your own actions #i got two fungal infections and now the consortium of phyta hates me so much #every time i see a potted plant they attack me On Sight #and they consistently end up being prolonged difficult fights #like jesus christ . #the merchant in ezra near omonporch??? #the force field + confusion + whatever ability it is that lets them spawn a bunch of hostile plants #kicked my ass so hard #i did somehow manage it. just at the cost of... lots of property damage #yurl in kyakukya also had it out for me #unfortunate bc i Would liked to have talked to both of them #the mumble mouth + waxflab were just too much apparently GFNDMNNG #and yurl was the first time i realized that was gonna be a Thing w those guys #i was just there to get the recipe to cure said fungal infections #and suddenly a sentient cucumber vine was tearing me a new one
