Thanks 8-)

When you are playing permadeath mode the fear and hesitation are your true enemies

I only play games with permadeath modes it brings joy

I hope you can make it below 100 hp mark too someday

Good luck and i also completed this below

PD in the current state of the game is not attractive enough IMO. No greater rewards for the risks of progressing at higher levels. PD plays the same as other modes with the only restriction on saving progress. Simply relying on potions doesn't make PD different either. I have finished the game in unlimited mode by not consuming a single health potion at all.


By principle, I am against using potions to survive in PD mode. Also, AT involves a lot of grinding work. There's no incentive to stay alive in PD for the grinding involved in order to progress in the game.

Overall, PD is perfectly playable but I don't find it attractive at this point. It needs to be more rewarding, offering various incentives to avoid gulping poitions and other design changes to make PD interesting and different.

Why do I play PD mode? Because I can.
Reward enough for me.

It's not the extra, it's the challenge and proof of skill.

Often, in PD mode, it's even harder and rewards and equipment get cut down.

That's the motovation.

And of course the brag rights ;-)

It's not a challenge-for-reward. It's a challenge for the sake of challenge. If that's not your thing, play Unlimited.

I am sorry, but I don't see a challenge in carrying 100 bonemeal potions in my inventory. An insurance scheme to cover the lack of reloading the game?

The real challenge would be to have a separate mode with health potions removed from the game, and a few other design changes specifically for the folks looking for a CHALLENGE!
