Well, they were pretty good gloves, with a huge armor bonus and some nice stat boosts as well. Infinitely better than any other gloves I was carrying around at the time,
and their durability was almost full when they dropped, so I thought "Why not?"

How about taking the "THORNS" modifier away from bosses?
I died 18 times last night trying to kill a Dark Elf boss who had a "THORNS" %50 damage returned modifier. Very annoying. Specially when delivering a critical...

Praise be the main gameplay mechanics of Depths of Peril and Din's Curse. Both are well done and, as far as I know, unique in a working production. They achieve what well-funded studios have failed to pull off time and time again, and if there's any kind of pattern to Soldak's games, the future is a bright one.
While I don't know what plans might be for the next game cooked up, I think there are some prime ingredients ready at hand to make another great. Combine the guild systems and AI of diplomacy, war, trade, and so on of Depths of Peril with the dynamic worlds and towns (as well as their salvation or doom) of Din's Curse to create an entire random world, or at least region. Each guild has their own town, like a series of Din's Curse towns, each with their own goals, quests, and modifiers for the area. Have the towns start pretty basic and expand based on the quests you complete (such as gathering resources for a new Armorsmith shop or collecting a rare artifact for a defense tower), and suffer or stagnate for quests you ignore or fail (townspeople starve if you don't save their farms, or migrate to other towns if you fail them enough). Use the same basic systems of Depths of Peril regarding other towns and their guilds, letting you trade, ally with, or destroy them (for starters). Compete for resources and fame to attract migrants to your town, or sneak in and sabotage the competition, either directly or by sending minions you've acquired or hired. Have strong bosses and veritable armies of evil critters that, as in Din's Curse, don't just sit around and wait for some hero to come a smitin'. Maybe you pull a quest that incites the army of dark elves to attack an enemy town, or maybe you team up with another town and their forces to take down a particularly nasty baddy. Most of this stuff has basically already been done between the games, just not in a grand scale. It'd be great to see your actions carry weight beyond your little town and see the world actively change, even if in simple ways like a few new huts popping up or critters moving into the charred remains of a former opposing town. These games are great not just because of what they've achieved, but what they still can.

Meet Taris. A superboss mimic (pictures below). He's also a whole bunch of other choice words that I'm probably not allowed to post here.
 I created a new world with lower leveled monsters so I could just collect some coin and health goodies so I could last a little longer below in a harder towns. Apparently, I'm not supposed to do this and I am being punished by being introduced to this menace. He's horribly good at one-shot criticals which always range in the 2000 - 2500 HP range. I've died 42 times to this monstrocity. Mimics are a painfull breed to run into in any form, but super bossing one?!?! That's just plain abusive. I know I've saved the town and all, but now it's become personal and I need to rid myself of this creature. Is there anything I can do to off this thing and maybe mount his head in town somewhere?
