How can you say that? I've been playing for only an hour or so, and I've killed bunches of foul creatures, picked up numerous objects of magic and mystery, completed a bunch of quests, upgraded my pointy stick to a -1 Andiron, and finally reached level two!
Edit: Scratch the Andiron, I've got a +1 Broken Bottle now. Feel my wrath, juvenile bugbears!
