big dave's big guide on which physical mutations you should pick

(this is for people who value winning over fun, mutations i say suck could be more fun than sliced bread so don't COMPLETELY avoid some of the worse mutations, you would miss out on some sillies if you did!)

oil doesn't burn. .

This just seems weird, that you can't burn away oil like you can with other liquids.

Simply one of the best games one can play.

I wasn't sure when to write a review for this game, and I don't think 40 hours of playtime is enough to warrant a fair review due to the hundreds, if not thousands of hours worth of content that's available in the game, but I figured I'd just add to the positive reception Qud has.

Every playthrough of Qud is COMPLETELY different, generating history and creatures/people of legend with actual meaning and impact on the world with each new world the player generates, similar to something like Dwarf Fortress. What sets Qud aside though, is the fact that there's a main storyline keeping everything grounded and giving the player many handwritten adventures to pursue in-between, or as a main focus, their own unique adventure. Each playthrough tells a story of tragedy or triumph, and each playthrough can last anywhere between 30 seconds and 1,000+ hours.

What's unique about Qud, and sorely missing from modern games that rely heavily on procedural generation (think Starfield, No Man's Sky, etc.), is that procedural generation in Qud doesn't *always* feel like procedural generation. Admitidly, sometimes it is obvious, like in the case of generated quests, but the player will come across generated people and creatures of legend, similarly legendary weapons and gear, and even locations with deep history and mysteries to discover completely unique to the singular playthrough - all of which mentioned is procedurally generated and VAST. There's gotta be an infinite amount of ways the world and its lore can be generated in this game.

Not to mention the builds. Hitting the random button in character creation is the best way to play this game (as long as one is only playing permadeath) as pretty much every build is viable in some compacity and has their own challenges and playstyles. Character builds are just another thing that feel infinite and ever-changing. For those who want a more laid back playthrough, though, one can create their own character from scratch and play a gamemode with autosaving and more akin to the Elder Scrolls in terms of sticking to one character for a long period of time without the concern of permanently losing the character on death.

With a massive, sprawling and breathing world, turn-based combat mechanics that keep the player on the edge of their seats in heated and unfair battles, and infinite amount of storytelling capabilites, Caves of Qud is a game that I honestly believe should be played by everyone at least once. The price may seem expensive for this type of game (based off the screenshots, I guess) but in my opinion, there's hundreds of dollars worth of time and content here on an unprecedented level.

11/10. One of the most mind blowing and rewarding games I've ever played where I never feel like I'm wasting my time. The modding community for this game is on another level as well, though I only recommend really digging into mods after a few serious vanilla playthroughs as there's really no need for mods in order to enjoy what this game offers.

In a lot of ways it's the zenith of video game design, it's a clockwork masterpiece where every element comes together to create something beautiful in a fashion where if you removed any one element of it the entire thing would fall apart but as-is it is the quintessential "video game" (laudatory) and I think the entire medium is worse off for its release because what it does will never be topped.

Best fighting strategy

when equipment is on fire. . .

there needs to be a better indicator that your stuff is on fire. like, in the inventory, it should get some sort of graphic. or the game should have a popup or some message that your gear is on fire instead of waiting until it's too late to tell you. . . yeah, i can see it if i inspect each item individually to check and see if the "fight fire" option is there, but that's tedious and clunky. like DM : "oh yeah, half your stuff is now broken" me : "huh? why?!" DM : "because it was on fire. . ohh yeah. .di...

switching bodies doesn't transfer bits

dunno if this was intentional or not, since yeah, i'm switching to a new body permanently. but that's a bit brutal late game, when i had hundreds of each kind of bits and then my new body starts with none and i can't even take them from my old body. it could just be a limitation of how the game records them. they look like they just become part of the character sheet and since i'm getting a new character sheet, i'm losing everything that was on the old one, but yeah. .that's annoying. side note : this ...
