ToME vs ToME
Oh, was I so, so wrong.
It's horrible, the graphics are annoying, and there is no console mode that I can find. The skill system is completely fucked up, and removes the challenge that made old school ToME fun. Most of the races have been removed, and those that remain have little diversity, and since everything that was weak originally (yeeks) has been buffed there is even less diversity. The classes are pretty bleah, as all the interesting ones have been removed.
So now I have some questions, because I don't understand how a game this bad could just go down the shitter, and because the internet has little information regarding this transition.
- Why were all the Lord of the Rings references removed?
Why is there no console mode?
Why were so many races removed (if it was to remove LOTR references, then why not just rename them)?
Where can I get any of the files for the last version of the real ToME?
WHY DID THIS WIN BEST ROGUELIKE OF THE YEAR TWICE???
Sorry for ranting, but I'm morbidly curious about how this came about.
