First off, as someone else stated: why on earth are fireball and lightning damaging your own party??
This must be one of the silliest things I've seen in a dungeon-crawler. Making main level 3 damage-spells useless=stupid.

Secondly, ageing. Spending hours upon hours levelling characters to make them powerful only to have age killing them off so soon= beyond idiotic. Why would anyone pick any other race than elf in this case?

Thirdly, exploring dungeon. Why aren't there some kind of town(castle) portal? Killing endless hordes of low-level enemies on the way up or down from the deeper levels of the dungeon is tedious and boring for powerful characters.

Fourth, make a menu using the phones menu-button with a load and save last portal-option. It's frustrating to wait for minutes in a fight for the rest of your party to die when you know you'll loose.

And lastly: Sages can cast both mage and priest spells. So why would anyone roll a mage or priest when they can have an all-powerful sage who can cast everything?



Quite a few things where I've been wondering what the hell the developer(s) have been thinking, but it has potential as long as the money we spent on it comes to good use.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sorry if I came off as harsh, but some of the things seemed very frustrating in an otherwise great game.

Keep up the good work. :)

Call me old school but I'm glad that the game was kept the same regarding spells. One has to realize that in the old and glorious days of dice role-playing (read: the 1980s), most role-playing games had some sort of backfire system where the mage type characters had to contend with. The lower your spell level (or your mage level compared to the spell level), or the lower your mana (the stuff of magic), the greater the chances of backfire, as well as the resistance factor of monsters/foes whereas a spell doesn't necessarily hit every monster in a group or the 1/2 damage factor if they resist, and that's all very well implemented in Oubliette. That's why Oubliette have characters that have more hit points to absorb the backfires, and the low-hit-points mages that have spells to protect against backfires.

I can suggest a compromise to better the general enjoyment of the game by most, get rid of the backfire effects but make those spells that backfire less potent.

Perfect!

The problem with Fireball and Lightning bold hitting your own party is not so much that it is not survivable (because it is), but that the time required to heal everyone back up makes it a total pain in the butt. I for one hardly ever use them for that reason.
