Going Rogue - Part 02

Definitely agree with comments of at least playing to a minimum length of time. These games are infamous for just killing inexperienced players outright until they know the game intimately. Thanks for all the effort on this weird niche genre that I love!

What a good intro. Love the music too.

I love shorter features like this, great idea

Excellent intro. Excellent run. I’m having a great time.

This Ain't The Run

@calvinball Would you kindly add a timer-blocker for these videos like what you did for This Is The Run?

I am crying laughing

Dagney's high score was erased!

Don't let them silence Dagney Roguemann's legacy!

Wake up sheeple!

Offering myself up for Ben to have killed embarrassingly.

PS Hope this series gets a follow-up with the exceptional Caves of Qud.

The very short run time of this video is a decent tradeoff for how hilariously it ends.

What a run!

I was unaware of this game before this feature so it’s been wild to see this game in action!

I get why some want each video to be 30 minutes minimum but I’m actually curious to see just how far Ben can get in 13 runs...loving the feature so far & great music choice Vinny! 🦑

I need more. Always chose to put on the amulet.

Perfect start. Perfect start. I can't thank you guys enough. Vinny being a true MVP this year.

Ready for this daily dive into madness

I agree with you, but if there's one thing the internet taught me, there's a "git gud" community for EVERYTHING.

Very luck based, especially in the first few floors where many enemy encounters have about a 50% chance of either ending your run or leveling you up. Once you've gained a few levels so you have some HP buffer, you can influence the outcome of encounters much more, but, yeah, ending up in Ben's situation here is very easy on the first two (or maybe even five) floors before you really have anything to work with.

you haven't even played the game and have only seen an hour of gameplay what are you even talking about

I've never played Rogue, so this is great! I dig the royalty-free backing music, but it needs more foley work. I'm hoping Vinny will break out the sound board at some point for some sweet battle sounds.

Yeah, you're right, I worded that way too strongly. It just seemed like the switch to leather armor did not help the situation at all and Ben's reasoning for doing so didn't track.

This is EXACTLY how the first official run needed to go! Made me chuckle a bit.

Vinny: we’ll try to keep these streams to about an hour.

Ben: Challenge accepted.

@geirr: Exactly the same here! :D

Hi, thanks for reaching out to me about this! I have pushed out an update that does exactly this, it will hopefully be approved and available by the time the next video comes out!

@calvinball: You rule. I NEED to stay away from spoiler timecodes for this series. Clearly.

@undeadpool: Thanks for the kinds words, they are always appreciated!

This is the best run so far!
