How do you pronounce Qud, chud? Like Qin is pronounced chin?

Dude, I've barely played Qud lol. I think it's a nice roguelike from what I've played, and it fits a profile of player that isn't particularly rare; but that's very limited compared to others and I'd recommend a lot of other retail titles first. There aren't a ton of "sophisticated" (as far as traditional roguelikes go) sci-fi releases to recommend to people, so it's inevitably going to get a fair bit of attention on that alone until someone does the whole "Dune"-esque setting better.And because odds are something you very much like sucks. Why? Because this is the RPGCodex.
It's not really moving goalposts when you never argued the point being contested.Also, nice moving the goalposts there.
Good for you, hardly shameful to not be vapid.I feel dirty for saying this, but I agree with you.

Again, they keep bringing it up. They keep banning their fans. I'll keep talking about it.it sure as hell doesn't warrant this endless whinge where certain people seem deadset on contorting every discussion about the game.
how is golgatha with this build?I started playing this game again after a while to see what's changed. I decided to build my character as an angel sent by God to cleanse the land of the disgusting furry deviants and other abominations that have come to populate the world of Qud and rebuild a proper Christian civilization with normal humans. Hopefully there will be some white men I can find who can help me in my mission. My main weapon will be a Rifle.
Initially:
-Winged
-Heightened Quickness
-Triple Jointed
-Photosynthetic skin
-Night Vision
Added Later:
-Electromagnetic Pulse for rebuking robots and other profane constructs
-Flaming Ray is useful for cooking lower level unbelievers and saving ammo
-Regeneration for faster healing
So far, it's been a cakewalk as I hover above and rain destruction down, and just zip away real fast if anything bad happens.
A lot of this procedurally generated shit is total garbage, fuck sakes.

I realize you're relatively new here, but this was the tagline of this website for well over a decade.

If it upsets you, tell the devs to cut it out.
edit:
Here's your citation, Theo.
I can also quote the devs bringing up Sseth over and over too, or their own Steam page where they cry about trolls and say they'll ban anyone who approves of the villains in their game.
I rarely read the politics or beliefs of game developers. I could give two fucks.
Domina, right? Yeah, the guy swallowed all the redpills at once and just spewed his politics everywhere.The patch notes thing is related to a separate game but the point stands nonetheless.
Yes, and yes they are separate but vidya is a hobby and like any hobbyist I like to talk about these things and not have to deal with self censorship to please a bunch of things skinned weirdoes who need to see some sunlight, or hear some red pulled fucktards go on about whatever they believe. Someone wants to talk politics, let's talk about how weird it is that a lot of fantasy games are stuck in a quasi-feudal state for seemingly thousands of years?Domina, right?

Steam banning him from their platform and depriving users of updates isn't really the same as individual users on some obscure RPG forum complaining about what game devs say and do though.
So, you don't want to have censorship, but you also want others censored?Yes, and yes they are separate but vidya is a hobby and like any hobbyist I like to talk about these things and not have to deal with self censorship to please a bunch of things skinned weirdoes who need to see some sunlight, or hear some red pulled fucktards go on about whatever they believe.
The meta explanation is that fantasy games are about a medieval times and myths. Advancing these societies too far beyond that point destroys the setting as a device for medieval storytelling. The in-universe explanation, for D&D, is that they aren't locked in that state at all, and that there have been numerous cataclysms that have wiped out advanced civilizations like Nethril. And then there's the fact that magic itself removes the need for advancement. Why develop modern medicine when the right mix of potions or spells can do anything from regrowing limbs, to raising the dead?Someone wants to talk politics, let's talk about how weird it is that a lot of fantasy games are stuck in a quasi-feudal state for seemingly thousands of years?
It was nothing I couldn't handle, the EMP helps but isn't strictly necessary. The regeneration helps a lot against all the clouds and poisons, actually a really useful mutation and I fast tracked it. Other than that I had a good rifle and lots of agility and quickness and had no problems.how is golgatha with this build?I started playing this game again after a while to see what's changed.

yeah, I almost never play with wings because it feels like a "wasted" choice because it mainly is for QOL (not getting lost etc) and I usually find the more difficult combat situations to be underground, but I can see how it might be nice to avoid annoyancesIt was nothing I couldn't handle, the EMP helps but isn't strictly necessary.

In general dungeon crawling is a major weakness because I can't fly, I'm not specced to melee, I can't use my skin and also because I can't use regenerating solar cells underground to power my rifles. Although, it hasn't really been stopping me from progressing.
Playing with Wings is so convenient, though it does remove a major aspect of the game where you have to journey to places.
I was willing to sympathize with the dev about trans persecution out of general principle, but when they turn it into fursecution as well is when I call them full of crap. If you lie with dogs (figuratively or literally), don't be surprised if you die with dogs.
How did a harmless-enough roguelike version of Gamma World devolve into this circus? What melted the dev's mind?
Yyyyyyyyeah, that'll do it alright.I was willing to sympathize with the dev about trans persecution out of general principle, but when they turn it into fursecution as well is when I call them full of crap. If you lie with dogs (figuratively or literally), don't be surprised if you die with dogs.

Being Terminally Online. Which also melted half this thread too.
From the sound of it, several of the devs were already LGBT and/or furries.How did a harmless-enough roguelike version of Gamma World devolve into this circus? What melted the dev's mind?
I spent it on roguelikes and other retro PC games I didn't get to play when I was younger.What did you spend your youth on? Not furries or trannies, right?
Lycanthropes are furry and trannies. Because they "transform." Badum dum tisss.

have you reached the end of the main questline?All this drama and the game isn't even that good, so who gives a shit?
All the procedurally generated content is trash, the combat is dull and way too easy, most monsters are samey, the few handcrafted quests are nearly all horrendous cryptic bullshit, the skill tree is boring and actually needless since I never felt like a skill made much difference to my ability to kill monsters. The GUI is awful with gibberish place and character names for everything and multiple areas within each map tile represented by a white triangle that you have to click to see what is in it. As a rifle user, I found the best one pretty early in the game and then never got a new rifle after that, which sucked. The devs idea of gameplay is "You see some ruins" or "theres a goatfolk village", repetitive garbage which represents 90% of the encounters on the game map.
the game is fun when you are collecting schematics and parts and building items that do cool things. I liked picking out new mutations every 4 levels. Leveling the mutations up is totally boring, since all it does is increase a simple % in most cases, but getting new ones felt like I was gaining significant new powers. Having said that, you can reach the end of fun things to do pretty fast and there's just no meat on this game to do much else.
After playing the game years ago, and playing it now, very little has changed in terms of things that matter or make the game more fun to play. They probably lucked into a decent early start and have no idea what the fuck to do with it now due to a lack of talent. The tranny/furry bullshit keeps people talking about the game I guess.
