I like NetHack. I'm not very good at it, honestly, but I've played it a lot and generally enjoy myself

For the scrolling thing with PgUp/PgDn but wanting to use them for diagonals... Are Num-/Num+ being used for anything at the moment? For that matter, don't at least some of the things on the numpad use different scancodes than the non-numpad keys? Even if the PgUp/PgDn keys are the same scancodes, you could always use the Num# keys instead, like Oregon Trail did back when I played it on an IBM PS/2 50Z at school

Welll I'm averse to requiring the numpad by default, since playing a game that requires both a numpad and regular keyboard use really sucks on laptops and phones and so forth. I'll probably have a vim-mode, too, for people who like that (me). I just think the arrow keys should work, and if they do, then something else needs to fill in the other four directions.

"Street smarts" seem like they'd be contained entirely within the player, though, not the character. :V

Just the attribute system. Don't know about the rest.

I subscribe to the "I like Nethack but I'm not very good at it" school. In my quest to find it (tiled, because something in my brain goes DURR ASCII and causes me to be incapable of playing it in the console) on other devices, the iPad version is (strangely) rather good. The menus are categorized, at least, and some of the stupid options are off by default (like PICK UP EVERYTHING). I haven't played too much with the Android port yet.

Dude what autopickup rocks.

I think that just means I'm bad at it. I'll be wandering around and all the sudden I'm overencumbered, then I move and PICK EVERYTHING BACK UP AUUUGH

You might want to fiddle with what everythings you pick up; for example I exclude armor, weapons, corpses, and rocks. Almost everything else is potentially useful.

Raidne was the Siren of improvement. I thought the implication was cool. B)
