Yay, saving! And yay, grammar! The description for "quest items" from Bezar says he can "bre" reasoned with, btw.
Were there any speed improvements in this patch? Spamming lemmisi seems a lot smoother than it did this morning. Maybe age has just made me more patient.
On a related note, I've been trying to unlock the crusader for long enough that I'm wondering if I've found a bug somewhere. Haven't found him after ~50 tries, though I have noticed that yin/yang has been appearing a ton (maybe 1/5 dungeons or so). Could it be replacing my crusader subdungeons?
In addition to chaos avatar only giving one level (which I'm not actually sure is a nerf), it also only gives 100 item conversion points. The weirdest thing about this to me is that becoming a chaos avatar doesn't actually change you that much. It's the same with Jehora in general--he just doesn't actually seem all that chaosy (outside of the ridiculously awesome artwork). He doesn't actually give any big swings outside of last chance, and even there, it's not all that exciting with the bad outcome being you lose all your piety (which would've happened anyway). Stuff like the (truly awful) potion abilities seem like the opposite of chaos. If I'm going to worship a chaos god, I don't want a full heal or a 10% damage boost and a level, I want tentacles growing out of my eyeballs. Maybe I die a misshapen wretch of a man; maybe I never worry about my glasses falling off ever again.
What if chaos avatar giving a random class ability or three? There are obviously some imbalanced outcomes, but there are also plenty of clunkers in there. Or a mutate ability that gives you piety in exchange for letting Jehora perform whatever operations on you he feels like at the moment? These are the sort of abilities I might click on even if they weren't good, just to see what would happen.
