As someone who just picked up the game, do you use full keyboard without mouse? So WASD and numpad only, or are you switching right hand back and forth from numpad to mouse?

The life sap comment was so true :D

The legendary snapjaw at 11:35 was disliked by The Cult of the Coiled lamb which means you would have gained rep with them for killing it no? Think you got a bit confused and were talking about not wanting to lose more rep with them. Great episode though!!

Good to see a skilled person playing the game.

I'm always a fan of longer form content, the longer the episodes the better as far as I'm concerned.

Side project idea: 1.0 compatible mods, I’m interested in more genotypes Also, I wish someone would do a quick and dirty on the game settings, I don’t understand some of them

Wasnt the Sphere of negative weight data disk worth picking up?

Using the cudgel relic could be great if you find an ontological anchor! The normality field might negate the space time vortex chance. Live and drink

i have a 4 year old and an 8 month old and just got Qud in the last sale. im so grateful for this playthrough because im too damn tired to play it myself lol....i swear, by the time ive talked to everyone in Joppa and venture out, im already asleep. the music and vibes are so good, it just lulls me to sleep

I started playing with steam deck. Really suprisingly good with steam deck controls!

Cool Vid keep it up!

I like all the episodes of this series so far, however I prefer the 45min episodes. I can watch about half of the vid, play up to the pause and the watch the rest and then play up to the final part.

Love the longer episodes, as a new player I really like seeing you move around the map as well, cuts in the video can be confusing for beginners.

I got Ironshank from doing an unknown first run of Golgotha, it scared the hell out of me. Luckily I found the Corpus Choliys and healed myself, phew. Edit: How do you add your own locations into the journal? I can see the "insert" key to add a note but don't know how to place it at a location. Edit2: Don't worry for me, I was sat on Grit gate so didn't do it. I moved one space down and it added the entry at my position.

Thank you so much for these videos. I got CoQ just before Xmas and knew I would like it, however I found the onboarding a little too obtuse. After finding your initial tips vid, it became much clearer what i needed to do. I have been following this series and copied your build and initial starting progression. Things have deviated a little now, obviously, with the RNG of the world. I found a gas tumbler which has been OP, everything melts. The first wtf moment was when I mistakenly aggro'd a merchant caravan at around lvl15, the farts worked their magic though and killed them all. The guards and merchant had some rediculous gear, meteorite armour or something for example, but most helpfully a recoiler to Grit Gate. I did the Golgotha quest fairly easily, now I am going back to this series for you to catch and with me, so I can see where to go next, or more importantly, where not to go yet. Thanks again, you have a sub from me, keep this series going, I am enjoying learning through your playthrough. Cheers

this run has inspired me to try a corrosive gas build of my own. i'm having a lot of fun with it! :D

Today I beat Golgotha for the first time, I was 1 strata deep an eel tripped me into sludge and I got a sore throat, after I got out I went to the world map and went straight to Kyakukya. When I looked at active status effects, I had lost it, I checked the log, I no longer felt ill after one parasing, how does that happen?

I think the wight girsh speaks about starting a new game. He says stuff along the lines of don't be discouraged by death, restarting is new life. But he says it in more colourful teems 😊

26:10 "disliked by the villages of Quallzoppa for impersonating one of their leaders" how tf that monster impersonating a village leader 😭🙏

I started to play on steam deck and really loveing it so far. Tried it on my PC thinking the controls would be better but I dont have a numpad. i feel like that is essential

Golgotha, filter for new players? I'm over a thousand hours in and Golgotha still "filters" a bunch of my builds. It's probably the single most prep I do other than a certain quest at Grit Gate.

Not just without a numpad, I play with a ps5 controller! The game has incredibly well done controller support and feels super comfy and natural to play.

Looking through your linked mod list and can't find how you gave your character a different colored name at 00:05:04

a good idea for a video would be making a fairly short one about all the tweaks you do with the settings and less used keys/shortcuts for a more user friendly experience

If you're flush with water or valuables, each one of the guards at the Six Day Stilt seems to sell Carbide or Folded Carbide weapons. I only discovered this recently after failing to roll any weapon shops lol.

top ten hand-e-nuke betrayals [mine are exploding on me with 0 obstacles]

This games so good. Cant wait to see more

What I learned is, merchants like Mafeo can identify their own stock of Weird Artifacts/Odd Trinkets by pressing [ i ]. That way you don't have to buy it to identify

I prefer the 45 min ish videos. Easier to keep up with and I don’t get behind.

I wish I got to see this part of the stream 😔

It's the Hero of Kavach!

Hi Rogue Rat, I have watched this first episode and props to you for how you balance entertainment and knowledge sharing. I have played Qud for 30-ish hours since 1.0 came out, after a year of having the game in my radar, and I finally got to Golgotha for the first time, where of course I died; I checked your guide and the wiki beforehand, but God that was tough. This first Kavach episode has made me wonder about something though, how can you see in the dark in the waterlogged tunnel without a torch nor the miner's helmet?

I'm all for longer episodes! For people that might not have the time, putting in chapters/time stamps might help them move from events to events.

I appreciate you! 300hours in and I learn something new with every video. At the same time, you are explaining things very clearly for people new to the game. No gatekeeping, just gameplay and vibes. Longer episodes work for me, but you should just do what you find works best for you! Been watching for nearly 2 years, and it is great to see your channel grow with the 1.0 release. Keep it up. I'll keep watching

I am a little surprised you didn't take a second to explain for the new guys why the scratched vents hole is so bad without corrosive gas. Basically they are a whole bunch of spawners that send out Chute crabs that gets bonuses to attack rolls and penetration for each one that gets next to you. They build up really fast and can block off your escape very easily, overwhelm you and chew you to pieces. Definitely very much a run ender for most people going through there that stick around for too long or get unlucky. EDIT: Another tip for people going to Kyakukya the Mushroom roofed ape village to get the Corpus Cholys book. While you are there and the disease still hasn't kicked in, go to the clay oven and eat the chunky cider there, it will give you a +3 to your disease saves so you might just get lucky and shake it off before anything sets in. Also I can't believe how many times this run nearly ended this video, omg!

Long episodes good. Grunt grunt.

I've been really enjoying your videos! I haven't played any Qud but the itch is strong to pick it up after watching this series. It's always a bit of a gamble with lets-play folks whether I'll like their narration/style/humor but you nail all of them. relaxing (non-jarring/non-yell-y/non-bigoted), good audio quality, sometimes weirdly funny, thorough, informative. Thanks for making this! <3

A wrist-fan might help you disperse your fart clouds a little further. It'll push the gas away from you, which might not help, but "away from you" might also be "towards your enemies" in the right context.

Does the cure generation no longer want corpses in 1.0?

Stepped on a pariah, became a pariah.

I'm a big fan of long episodes personally, an hour is fine for me. Love your commentary and I'm learning a lot

great work on these episodes, can't wait for more

10:48 Interesting re the Girsh Nephilim.. I take it that means it's pretty weird/significant that I've got a Girsh Nephilim Mechanimist Convert at my Stilt in the game I'm following along with you in!

I also learnt the hard way to be as far as possible from a rpg target on cdda

I like the hour-long episodes. I watch on x1.5 speed, so watching an hour-long episode only takes 40 minutes for me. If you want to see if you can Bask, look at your Bask ability in your skill bar, not the time indicator in the upper right. They are not properly synched, so you can start basking a few hours before the sun comes up, and can't bask while the sun is setting. Time Dilation is way better than you think. Giving an enemy -50 QN is the equivalent of doubling your own QN (because they will only act half as often as before). So if you have 200 QN, and you inflict -50 on an enemy with normal QN, it's the equivalent of increasing your own QN to 400 (VS that enemy, anyway). If you give the enemy -80 QN, it's like multiplying your own QN by 5! For new players I would really recommend bringing High-Explosive or Thermal grenades (optionally Sower's Seeds) to Golgotha, or at least learning how to make them before going, to get rid of the sludge. There's no reason you should ever have to step in it. With Glotrot, if you're not Amphibious, you might want to spread your water into different containers to avoid putrefying your water.

If you have trash diving it's good to visit every ruin or village that pops up, even if you just leave immediately, as it removes it from the pool of secrets you can discover.

39:14 Caves of Qud mentioned!!!

I like the length of the videos. But any length is fine as I’m also binging your past seasons. 😅

Tongueless in Seattle 💀

Golgotha? More like Gol-got-tha-go. Seriously. Are there no hazmat suits in this game?
