NETHACK: The dev team thinks of everything
A quick look at what makes Nethack great.
Art by Brett Ruys, check out his youtube: https://goo.gl/PDUwxC Other games I should really play to explore this kind of interactivity include Dwarf Fortress, the Scribblenauts series and the Divinity series. But they will have to wait for another day. I have a couple of ideas for the next video, I might do another “Choose my next video” … video.

Notes on artistic license
*1 You have to be polymorphed into a gelatinous cube to eat candles.
*2 You have to polymorphed into a metallivore to eat rings.
*3 You can’t bribe or romance orcs, but you can some other enemy types.
*4 There’s no water shield in Nethack, but this is a great way to represent intrinsic fire resistance.
*5 Breathing fire is not in the game. Mostly you get resistances from eating corpses.
*6 There’s no raft in nethack. To cross the sea you can use levitation, water walking boots, freeze the sea and walk over, push boulders to make a bridge, or get water breathing and just walk underwater. See, how cool is that!
