    push 0 on your numpad

    pushing shift + / (aka ?) opens the help menu

    So I'm creating my first character. A pianist, which is the best class ever.

    Pianist is a fun class once you get your Performing skill up. You'll earn tons of money just playing music in towns.

    Don't try it at a low level in a public place, though.

    Seriously, don't do it, all of you aspiring pianists. You'll regret that shit so hard.

    Rock to the head hurts. :(

    Fixed, because village elders are so picky about their music and strong as fuck :(

    Man, it's pretty annoying having to hold fn on my laptop constantly so I can use the numpad. I'm sure there's a way around this that I'm too dense to figure out. Anyone?

    On my laptop, holding Fn and hitting scroll lock (or maybe numlock, not sure) turns on fn-lock. Yours probably has something similar.

    You could always use the arrow keys.

    The topic title made this sound like a roguelike mod for Morrowind. Which would be awesome. Now I'm all disappointed.

    There is a guy with a glass machinegun running through the puppy dungeon. His sword, Ragnarok, begins to RAGNAROK and dragons maul him to death. Someone found a pair of panties that makes him more proficient in dual wielding. Somebody remarked "Everybody loves Shena's ass."

    If you're disappointed by this, I'd just call it quits.

    I'm sure iI will be able to find something at least as entertaining in the meantime.
    My only worry is my lack of a numpad, gogo laptop.

    Oh hey - so no permadeath, but what is the consequence of death in that case?

    When you die you lose items you have in your possession and gold.

    After level 6 you start to lose EXP and skill levels too.

    So I picked pianist for my class. I started with a grand piano in my inventory. o_O

    Is there a way to fix the text box at the bottom so that I can actually read what it says? It feels like each step I take, there are like 20 lines of text, but I only get to read the last 4 with the result that I don't have a clue what's going on.

    There is a log option in the Z menu.

    Anyway, got through the tutorial - my keyboard does not seem to have a fn lock, i do not know how well I am going to be able to play this.

    Pianist, strangely enough. And a meat katana is apparently only a "boring meal".
