ADOM is great and all, but its just missing the points of sheer brilliance.
When i first dicovered the rogue-like Nethack.
Being able to polymorph into a spider and dance around spewing out eggs or spit blinding venom into my enemies eyes was the most fun.
Also why has TB missed out lycanthropy alltogether i doubt it'd be hard to implement, theres already time and moon phases.
Little touches like that would really finish the game off for me :D

Funny you should say that, because I'm new to rogue-likes and started out on ADoM after reading about it at Home of the Underdogs. Got addicted and downloaded Nethack since it was recommended to me from various sources but soon gave up believing ADoM to be the more complete game. Maybe I should give it another go?

ADOM is by far the most complex and full game.
But it just lacks the little quirks of Nethack.
Like the polymorph, lycanthropy, riding, sinks to kick :P and stone to flesh spells. It's more of a fun game, even if you never got anywhere.
While ADOM just beats you down over and over again like some mad pimp

I can't get into playing angband or its variants or nethack or anything... It's funny to say so about games without graphics but all other roguelikes I've tried look, well, messy compared to adom.
If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

And maybe this should be moved to roguelikes forum?

no leave it here why do we play adom for so long? like he said we've tried the others and more, yet beating adom with its ways of f***ing you up is just great.its a balancing act not to stupid not to hard the more you "play" the more you merge into *adom*

It's very hard to be humble, when you are great.
