INTERMISSION: RNG: Really Not Good (for me)

 

You know what's better then one Bounty Hunter? 2 of them

           

      As we move towards the endgame of my first successful 'Darkest Dungeon' campaign. I need to talk about how much I enjoy this game and at the SAME time extoll how it drives me insane (pun intended)

     'Darkest Dungeon' is unforgiving. Some times its a skill issue but so many times I swear it is the RNG ( which stands for Random Number Generator) that screws you over. You can have the best items for your character, some good stats, maxed abilities and weapons and armor AND you are in your optional position in the squad and your 42 damaging hitting Leaper misses a target completely and all of a sudden you get a snowball effect where these annoying Bone Courtier keep hitting your one stressed character with 'Tempting Goblet' and they just go insane and then die before you could cure them.

     YES I am speaking from personal experience. 

    Or that one time when my very cool Bounty Hunter 'Django' (yes I named him that :D) instead of going insane became 'Virtuous' which is sooo rare during any run and then subsequently dies on the next turn.

    The whole by-line of 'Darkest Dungeon' is making the best out of a bad situation but man, does it humble you in ways no other Roguelite can and there-in lies why I think I enjoy it as much as I do.

    Full RAVE coming soon.
