While I will take your word that crawl gets good later in the game, I've always found it to be really monotonous to start, so I never got into it, and have never played it long enough to see past the first level or two.
Nethack was intriguing and really funny right from the start, so I got really into playing it, and the sense of humor is really important to me.
I will have to give crawl another serious look, because at first it seems really mechanical. Pretty much like Diablo, but on the console.
- witten 17y agoNethack definitely has more going for it in the comedy department. I like good game humor as well, but balance and interesting gameplay are even more important to me. I would encourage you to give Crawl another try, if only so that you can appreciate the quantum mechanics in Nethack that much more.
