Forum Overview :: NetHack :: Nethack is awesomeness

[quote name="Daverd"]The random element dies down later into the game when you have more resources to work with. At that point, it becomes less of a game of chance and much more a game of skill in how you manage what you're given. I know it's frustrating early on when you don't know what most things do, but you've got to stick through it while you learn the game. If that sounds tedious, then nethack probably isn't the game for you. I found it was easier and more fun to play alongside a friend who was also playing, so we could share tips and newly figured out aspects about the game. That way you also get to compete on the top scores list, which adds some fun to the game. I eventually did beat nethack, but not until two years after I first started playing.[/quote]
