I haven''t played the Nethack / Angband / Rogue-likes yet, but I''m wondering if I can get some insight from someone who has: I hear these games have a *TON* of levels. There''s only so many ways you can vary a level, so I''m guessing that after awhile the maps must repeat somewhat. So my question is this: What keeps a person playing, even in a repetitive environment? Is the gameplay so compelling that the environment stops mattering? Thx for any info. -------------------- Just waiting for the mothership...
