Newbie experience

I starting playing ToME4 a week ago. And I was quite surprised that there was no food clock (or any other type of "timers") forcing me to move onward. It's an interesting change of pace from the other roguelikes I've played.

Anyway, after choosing the "roguelike" setting I rolled a dwarf berserker, because dwarves are awesome! ;-)

I did try a fighter, but realized that I didn't care much for a defensive style. My 1st dwarf berserker (Fafnir) died due to overconfidence against a bunch of cold drake hatchlings.

I rolled another dwarf berserker (same name) and played a little more carefully. For the most part, the game was easy. I unlocked a bunch of classes for just killing things.

I tried to upload my dwarf, but it seems that only characters created while online get uploaded. Everything else got uploaded though.

Most notable moments (1st area): Fighting "The Master" (didn't know about his special ability), and the ambush (I'm surprised that my dwarf managed to survive that encounter, let alone kill them all!).

I made it to the 2nd area and immediately started hating those annoying patrols and all those casters!

I actually came close to dying once in the new place, when fighting several casters at once. Otherwise, the 2nd area wasn't much harder than the 1st.

After finishing all the quests and killing every boss I could find I reached level 50. I decided it was time to end the game, so I went to the final dungeon.

The final dungeon was exhausting...I think it should be a bit shorter. When I reached the top floor I skipped the boss, because I wanted to finish the game already. That was my 1st mistake. The 2nd (and last) mistake? Going into the final battle unprepared.

I got brutally murdered, because I thought my dwarf was practically invincible. Oh well, it wasn't bad for my 3rd character!

Thanks to DarkGod for making a great game! :-)
