Favourite DM character

Selie · Post by **Selie** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 9:39 pm

It's not that, it's just that in general, people like to make fun of him so much. Poor Mophus! He gets no love!

Then again, I have never used Hisssa in a party, ever. I don't even know how many "s"es to put in his name. I'm not big on lizardmen. I've also never played with Halk, Syra, or a number of others because I don't really like them as characters. So I discriminate too.

Really, halk is a big softly once you get him into some confortable elven leggings. : )

Was this some part of the Christmas thread I missed out on?

nah, i'm just running with the idea that halk looks a little intense in his portrait : )

My "standard" party is Boris, Tiggy, Gando, and Wuuf. When I first played DM about 14 years ago, I picked those 4 characters in that order, because they are the ones who have the highest mana, and I really wanted to cast spells.

I still use these 4 most, and if I play with them, I always use them in that order. Seems really strange to me if Boris is not green.

Well, since Boris usually comes out as the strongest character of those, I guess he is my favourite character, followed by Wuuf and probably Halk for his lovely portrait.

unless i am mistaken, welcome t the forums two new posters! *waves*

yeah, does anyone else start convulsing if a certain charatcer is the wrong colour?

boris has to be red (or my main spellcaster) and wuuf has to be blue, and usually stamm or my lesser fighter is yellow, and the best fighter is green

anything else, or having the fighters in a different position, and it's...weird...*twitch*
it just makes good tactical sense though to have your two fighters action hands as close to the window as possible, and not split apart : )..and green/yellow *twitch*

i choose my characters colours depending on the 'Oof' sound attached to it, i.e. when your character gets hurt.
yellow is quite 'girly' or 'young', so my first choice is always for a girl (i.e. chani because she's the hotest and has a moonstone) or a young person (boris, tiggy). blue sounds 'older' so it's definitely for elija (sometimes gando).
green and red are similar so i try to be logical : green is linflas, red is leif.
of course this is not possible in RTC because all 'Oof' sounds are randomly played..

They make different "oof" noises? Weird, I never noticed...I'm sure it was always the same on the Atari and hasn't changed from RTC...

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 9:39 am

Uh, the 'oof' sounds are randomly played in the other versions too...

My fighters *always* have to be red and blue, my wizzie green and priest yellow. Don't have any particular favourite characters, though I regularly have Wuuf and Gothmog in my party.

run the rtc editor and load a dungeon, then go to resources > add/replace sounds, and you can play the all the game wavs.
@gambit : i'm pretty sure they are not played randomly in Atari version, maybe we should ask to Paul..

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:03 am

Maybe just a perception thing?... it's always appeared random to me.

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 11:27 am

I am seriously starting to worry about some of you lot.

PadTheMad · Post by **PadTheMad** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 1:57 pm

I'm sure on the Amiga they were random. As random as these posts are....

Post by **Gambit37** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 2:06 pm

Amiga and PC definitely random -- p'raps it's just the Atari, though it seems odd. I think you're wrong Linflas.

Post by **linflas** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 2:11 pm

i think we are keeping vaguely in the realm of 'favoutire character ...jsut adding 'favourite/necessary characteristics of the charatcer

then linflas started gettign attacked by those *fireball* flying axes, and it all went *dart* horrible wrong *phutt* *phutt* damn, outta mana! ruuuuuuuun !

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:00 pm

My favourite is Kylie...

Er, fireball the axes?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:03 pm

no, you are thinking of street fighter two
where van dam looks like someone put his poincloth on too tightly aswell

the flying axes were based on wasps/munchers, weren't they?

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:06 pm

hehe, yes they were... Was it the speed and poison that gave them away?!! It is going to be polymorph in the next dungeon. One graphic lamp, another beachball, etc, paper aeroplane... Duane Dibley etc

Poincloth? Ya lost me there fuzzball

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:08 pm

could have meant loincloth
could have meant poincloth

really, i don't know what i mean..it was one of those days at work where even my technical manager looked like he had gone 500 roudns with mike tyson...still had his ears though...

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:11 pm

Would be a lot better if managers didn't have ears.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:31 pm

ours feints deafness to avoid hearing thigns that would upset him, like questions, thigns goign wrong, or me tryign to persude someone else to quit : )

so, who's your favourite character without ears people? : )

Trantor · Post by **Trantor** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:37 pm

Characters without ears? Either Daroou or Hissssa... are there actually any more? ^^ Oh yeah, Gothmog, but I somehow never liked him very much... I guess he looked to creepy for me when I first played DM (I was just 11 back then), and later on, I probably thought he looked too close to a Nazgul.
