If you are not wanted the player, there is no need to go simple. There is a need to go more complex. (Assume DCSS is a game. In fact it is a perfectionism Art.)
Only simple game you need to go simple but, DCSS is obviously a complicated "game".

It'll never stop being funny to me that people unironically think that the devs are some kind of tab-happy IRL Trog worshippers
Wahaha wrote:I liked some changes that made the game simpler because they removed annoying things like the Sick status and secret doors. But that was until version 0.13 approximately. After that I think most changes that removed things are a mistake, but I don't play crawl anymore so whatever. Worth noting that I would be playing crawl if it had new additions. The game would not be worse one bit if it had more unique races, though I wouldn't trust most people to design a good race.

This is for the best; if they knew the truth that gammafunk actually plays summoners and recommends dragon form on octopodes, it would shatter their fragile minds.

* "baroquity"?
