Re:Dying Bug (Score 1)

The question is, does this release fix the "DAMN this game is IMPOSSIBLE!!" bug, or the "Holy crap, I keep dying for no reason." Bug? This is almost a good point actually. A friend of mine sat down to play nethack. First step they took, their pet got squished by a falling rock. New game. First step they took, a poison dart shot out from the wall and killed them. As funny as it is, in a way, to walk into a dungeon and suddenly you're dead for no reason, it can be more than a little frustrating, and it's hard to get newbies hooked on the game when they're just getting to the 'Hey, this is neat' and suddenly they're dead through no fault of their own. --Dan
