ParticipantThe game's sweet as hell. I hate starting up threads right when I have to go somewhere, here's a link to the thread that I first saw that got me interested.

scroll down and you'll see screenshots.
You have to remember, though; the very thing that makes you a nerd is that your enthusiasms are totally unrelatable and non-marketable to most of the world. For example, anime and celibacy. - Seanbaby

KeymasterLooks like some old Ultima shit I'd play on DOS in the 90's.

ParticipantPish, it's better than Ultima.

ParticipantI used to play the Ultima games. Especially the one where you have too use your brain until it explodes over nine thousand times. lol

ModeratorSpeaking of Ultima, you just WON the game.

ModeratorI gave this Elona thing a shot. Seems interesting so far. I used to play ADOM every so often, so I sort of knew what to expect…
This certainly seems more unforgiving, though. I started off, ate my shield when I first got hungry (it was *reducing* my stats, probably since it was made of meat), had my pet bear eaten by a spider, got myself killed to a goblin, then got myself killed by a spider… and decided I was done for the immediate future.
I'll pick it back up again, I'm sure – the permanent character helps (at least while there's no significant penalty for death).
Also, Atma's youtube link apparently broke my text. :(

ModeratorThat's because LYS.com has no way to do text links to it (which was the original plan) without it showing the video HERE.

ModeratorI rerolled as a warrior and it's been much easier (for some values of "easy"; I'm only level 3 and I've died 6 times).
My dog fell into a well and died, then got killed by a slime. She hates me now.
Although the sword I started with (claymore of flame) is awesome, the second significant quest I took has been pitting me against slimes… making it rust. :( And killing me several times so far.

ParticipantIs it free?

ModeratorYes, Elona is free.
Also cursed items are rare enough that you'll pick up the habit of equipping stuff to get more info on them… only for the hundredth item to be cursed and not come off. :(

ModeratorOn a side note, I'd like to give <Loyter>, Crimson of Zanan a hand… except the game just gave him one… of the unseen type…
