So why are humans in the game?
Heck, even the in-game description says that they are 'rather mundane'.
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

How does this guy get away with being an insulting forum troll, and get absolutely no backlash for it.

WalkerBoh wrote:Dck has a valid point with respect to humans being best designed. First, they are simple, which is a very valuable aspect of design. Second, their decisions are not limited by their racial features - their aptitudes do not encourage you to move towards any one weapon or spell class or armour type. They are flexible and diverse and well-rounded. These all seem like the mark of a very well-designed race.

damiac wrote:They're the best designed race in the game? The design is lack of any design. They're the basic archetype for a race, before you go and do anything. So I'd say the crawl character may be well designed, but a human is just a crawl character, without any design apart from "average". On the other hand, every other race is then designed off that flat archetype. So maybe you like humans, but to say they're "the best designed race" is essentially just saying you think all the races suck in crawl.

Have you played Mu? Ever? They don't work. Their attributes are terrible, and their gimmick is fairly meaningless.
Furthermore, their gimmick enables grinding to a certain extent, which the player is pushed towards by their atrocious attributes.

They don't work ? You mean you don't like them ?
Also, meaningless gimmicks ? rF- isn't meaningless, no foodclock neither, and once you get to extended, not having to deal with mutations and torment is a pretty big deal I'd say.
About grinding, sure you can, in the first 4-7 levels of the dungeons. Once you get a god (assuming he cares about inactivity), it's not that good of an idea...
