I kinda feel bad killing bees for their honey and wish we could be friends without enchanting or corrupting them. We normally take care of bees to share their honey IRL. :(

While I’m on the subject, I actually wish there was a version of PD or some gameplay in SPD where you can save creatures instead of slaughtering them as the only solution to everything you encounter. Otherwise, it can feel like you’re just in a power struggle with the Dwarve King and Yog is really a protector to stop anyone from wielding the amulet’s power to grant wishes.

I’m not even sure the amulet wants to be freed from the dungeon as it resists granting your wish to ascend by making it harder to leave… unless you keep killing everyone! After that, there’s no lore on if it’s a good or bad thing for anyone to have it back in the world, but based on that, it appears to create an undesired balancing effect that counters the wish granted which makes it more like dealing with a Jinn or blood craving demon.

Not that I hate that idea as it makes for good storytelling but the game does have a pretty loose definition of the title “Hero” when you’re really just breaking into someone else’s house to loot and kill a bunch of homies who were unwillingly caught in the middle of the whole thing… lol. It might actually make more sense if the player characters were demonic creatures trying to rule the dungeon based on their actions in the story-line.

I do like playing chaotic characters but sometimes it’s more satisfying to be clever and helpful like Link… and while sometimes funny… not always absurdly murderous like Deadpool. Anyway, just thinking out loud!

    Ultimately, I respect the dev’s choice to use whatever platform they prefer and certainly like the game enough to jump through some hoops to use Lemmy.

    However, I’m like many others who are just burnt out on having a zillion separate accounts to sites with their own quirks where it’s just easier to main Reddit, even with its own faults because it’s the popular choice, and while it’s easy to lurk here, I admit I mainly only take the extra steps to log in and post here because I hope the dev will see it. It’d be fair for some folks to call me lazy tho.

    The dev is great about listening to feedback and constantly adding new content so in this case, I thought it might be interesting to add some wholesome content instead of more kill-kill-kill. I don’t mean it as a complaint as much as starting a dialogue because I care about the game.

    So for instance, the Monk is fun but never thought it made sense as a Duelist sub-class so it could be cool to break it out as its own player character and give it more pacifist conduct like in NetHack.
