I used a fighter-monk on my first playthrough (yeah, I wasn't thinking) and it owned everything, as did my crossbow-rogue, so I'm going with 2 rogue-monks, a crossbow-rogue and a mage on my second playthrough. I'd go with 2 archers but I can't remember if there are enough bows to go around. I suppose I could try a back-row rogue-assassin instead. I need someone with a free torch-hand anyway.

I finished it today, on Old School / Normal. Surprisingly solid game, and a great value for the price they were asking for it. After playing, I immediately started a new run in Toorum mode (I had to consult a game guide to realise you could do that), and it's a new kind of fun and challenge. Toorum is a custom class by himself (Ranger), with good melee abailities and some spellcasting. He is also incredibly fast, which makes the one PC only limit a lot less problematic than I thought. And of course, since there are no weak characters in the party, there is less reloading, and all the XP goes to one person. :cool:

So after putting Skyrim to rest after 225 hours of play (damn...) I decided to dive into a more focused and straightforward fantasy game. So LoG fits the bill just right.
Just started playing level 3. Really enjoying the game, though I agree the magic system being limited and borked. Regardless, it's a not-too-big quibble for me, though probably not having the nostalgia for having played games like DM or EotB helps.

Do you suppose that it's possible talented designers/programmers could implement a method of creating a very "Thief" like experience using the LoG editor? It seems to have the right atmosphere. Perhaps someone should shed some more light on this.

Why the fuck would you want that?

The Grimrock level editor is still in development, sunshine.

Ok, finished my hardcore run, all secrets found, all treasures etc.
Now to do a Toorum run. Question... axes or swords? I saw a video of lvl 50 sword skill + toorums double attack speed + speed potion = ridiculousness.

I'm a bit annoyed by the combat and how easy it is (at least up to level 6) to lure opponents to a closeable gate, lower the gate, raise it, hit them, lower the gate, rinse and repeat. It works wonders, but it's not particularly interesting gameplay. The only alternative I see is running backwards and in circles, which isn't much more fun. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but it's difficult to see it as that if it helps me through fights that I'd otherwise lose.

I did this my first playthrough... however playing again on Hard I never found the need to... I'm used to the combat now so instead of having to resort to such tricks I know how to crowd control and kite. Also my second playthrough in hard was with two mages. One always had ice ready to freeze stronger enemies to allow me to plow through the others. Note that you can generally attack, sidestep, flank enemies a lot quicker than they can turn around to hit you. It's more a matter of "if I dont do this ill die/run out of mana" and not so much "is this how the game is meant to be played?". Protip: you just suck still. I do however wish that more units could open doors (there are units that open doors... oh yes... wait till you try this little trick with them bastards. :|)
