I really like the idea of blobbers.
I've read a lot about them for the past few months and I'm always excited to try one. I've read twice the Wizardry IV Let's Play that Crooked Bee made and it's definitely one of the best things I've read in a long time.
The problem is, as it happens with classic roguelikes, the blobbers I've tried so far (Elminage Original and SMT: Strange Journey) don't seem very "noob-friendly", so after about 10 hours into each one I gave up because I realized that the problem wasn't the difficulty, but the fact that I had a shitty/non balanced party. Even after gaving up, the games stood with me, because I loved the first person perspective of exploring dungeons and found that really immersive.
So, with that in mind, where should I start in the genre? What are the games designed for babies in the genre?
Also, just a curiosity: Is the dying/resetting a lot a feature of the genre or I'm just really, REALLY bad?
