Question: Assuming I get far enough to make the attempt, should I forgo getting screenshots of the final bosses in order to get a full win more safely by blasting them from off screen?
That is a question only Yeesh can really answer.
My answer would be yes. but I'm not Yeesh.

Purging the monsters of hell is greater then any screenshot. I'm sure whatever captures you do get will be enough, and if not, they can play the game for themselves.

Damnit. That's what I get for spending so much time arguing in GRPG.

Update time!
Is it me? I feel pretty fucking sinister right now.
This is a cakewalk. Thanks for berserker we're in constant berserk mode here, moving and attacking very quickly, and one shotting everything.
And our shield has barely been scratched.
Mmmm. Broken movespeed. /drool
Why hello there friend.
Note that being hit by him is triggering our berserk trait, even though he's only doing 1 damage after the resistance is factored in.
So yeah.... that was fucking easy. He hit us what, 4 times?
Ah, our richly deserved reward.
Muahahahaha.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Oh, and this melee weapon, btw, doesn't deal melee damage. It deals PLASMA damage instead.
Including when you do this with it.
Let the massacre begin.
Though, a gun is still warranted for safety reasons. We are by no means invincible. Yet.
But man are we ever scarily fast and dangerous.
Hmmm, we don't need the skulls anymore, so I ditch one to grab the ammo.
Excellent.
More luck for our hero Yeesh.
But how do we get into these without a rocket launcher? Isn't using the phase devices suicidally dangerous?
Yeah, it would be. You didn't think I lugged that stupid staff this whole way for the shitty ass explosion thing did you?
You really want to go mano y mano against the spear of destiny bro?
Yeah, good luck with that.
Ow. This place is fucking dangerous.
Well, so are we.
The layout here isn't very conducive to tactical fighting. It's more suited to guns blazing slugfests really.
We can oblige, since we're berserked.
Eat 56 plasma damage fucker.
Wow, they survive that shit?
Well, we got ammo to spare.
Time to unload this sucker.
Better safe than sorry. Note the teleporters above us for getting you out in case you warped in like a maniac.
Here's the unique we found. Not really useful for us at this point, though it is a neat gun.
Missed the level clearing message so here's the message list. You get a pretty nice medal for doing this, clearing the vaults properly is quite a task.
Ugh, a soldier level. We'll have to watch out for commandos, plasma rifles are deathraps.
Ditching more of these.
Now we play hide and go seek with former humans carrying plasma weapons.
Found you!
Oh fuck it, this is taking too long.
We got hurt pretty badly by a guy with a chaingun in there, so we're heading back for some health.
Not a huge bonus, but enough to keep us safish for now.
Ditch the acid gun to get a nuke.
This level actually had 2... we seriously don't need this many. This is just pure overkill.
This will keep us safe from anything they can fire at us.
More POWER! Ironman is the only trait so fucking awesome it doesn't even lead to an advanced trait. Because that would make it too fucking good.
Yeah, we're pretty fucking badass now.
Small medpacks aren't worth carrying, since if you use them in battle you'll probably lose that much health in the time it takes to use them at this point. We just use them as power ups at this point.
Nice.
Wekk we're certainly loaded with gear now.
Of course we find this lever after everything is dead.
Patch up our lava armor.
'tis barely a flesh wound!
Lava armor is so nice to have in hell. Almost everything is using either plasma or fire and we're super resistant to both now.
That is not a lever we want to hit.
Oh man, this shit is too easy.
These guys are a joke.
He isn't even fast enough to move back right away.
Well, that could prove to be annoying.
Problem solved.
This is not where we want to be standing relative to a revenant.
Much better.
I'd lance the fucker, but killing the archvile first is much more important.
The messages here are kind of confusing: We shot at the archvile. It's still alive. It then blasted us. We went berserk. The revenant (who also got blasted hard, and isn't fire resistant) got killed between the archvile and the acid bath.
We proceed to murder the fuck out of things while berserk.
Nice.
Plasma ownage.
ANOTHER one? Fuck Yeesh, you're going to use all your luck up and get killed by rocks falling or something.
And our next target is right here. Perfect.
I burn a phase device after grabbing the invincibility from the other side of the level to save us a bunch of turns.
It drops us in a nearly ideal spot.
That is a LOT of fucking invincibility.
And we are going to need it, very very badly.
Welcome to the mortuary. This is widely considered to be the most difficult level in the game. It doesn't even show up on easy difficulty.
We start off next to TWO supercharge globes. They are fucking necessary.
So whats so tough about a big open level when it's this late and we have all this awesome shit and we get free supercharges?
The level starts with a bunch of archviles scattered around, and a TON of corpses. It quickly becomes a level filled with pretty much everything that can spawn in the game. The corpses get skewed towards more dangerous shit at higher difficulties. Just ENTERING this place awards you a bronze badge. Making it out alive, whether or not you even killed anything, is a silver. Clearing it is a gold.
It helps to have a BFG. Aside from the obvious massacre, it chunks corpses over a huge radius.
Skulls would be great for that too, if I'd remembered to keep them for this place. Oops.
I don't need intuition to know some major league bad shit is moving over there.
Yeah, thats what one fucking shot did. 12 fucking kills.
Thats not including all the fragged corpses or the enemies near the edge that got shoved away instead of killed.
Alas, at 40 rounds a shot, we run out of ammo pretty quickly.
But we don't really have any better way of pulling this shit off. The only other really viable alternatives are truly insane pistol builds (ours is only mildly insane, even with that fucking gun), ammo chain builds, (which are easier on other challenges, where the ammo would be the main problem here, instead of us getting gibbed by the massive damage of so many enemies always hitting for top damage), or nuking the place while invincible. Which we could have done, but that'd be too fucking easy, boring, and it'd blow up all the loot.
Left side is basically cleared now, but we have to work our way to the right, and enemies will have started occupying the middle area by now.
Annoying fucking enemies that have been getting rezzed this whole time.
Yeah I though maybe I could badass my way through a bunch of this shit with the whole berserk + spear angle, but thats not gonna happen. Too much knockback on this mode, even imps send us flying.
Only a couple shots left.
Well, this one seems worthwhile.
Looks pretty good to me.
Now those are the fuckers I wanted to see.
We have to pistol rape them, since we're out of plasma rounds pretty much.
Shit, we're going to need to crack open the ammo chain soon too.
And our armor is taking a beating. Theres nothing to repair it with in here either.
I swtich to our tactical armor and run back for a supercharge.
Back in action. Oh, and this place has some nice guaranteed weapon drops too, in case you somehow got this far without any. Did I mention there was another supercharge in every fucking corner?
Back to the killing field.
We empy clip after clip.
Luckily one of the rezzed guys was a captain, and his chaingun gives us even more ammo.
And the arachnotrons give us more energy cells.
Almost done...
Perfect.
Another holy something?
Damn right we will.
Because a normal BFG just isn't good enough, we need one that replaces it's own god damned ammo over time and doubles as a nuke.
I haven't mentioned yellow items yet have I? Yellows are (kind of) even better than uniques. They are uniques that appear in set locations. The other two we've found so far (the staff and spear) we grabbed while berserked, so it wasn't really apparent except in the menu.
Welcome to fucking godhood Yeesh.
No resists, no movespeed penalty or bonus, no knockback adjustment or funky durability traits (well actually, it can't be destroyed, but it can be reduced to 0% and have 0/7 armor.) Just 7 badass points of armor.
Oh, did I mention wearing it while holding the spear of destiny gives us another flat 4 points of armor?
Time to get going.
I was considering saving the angelic armor for a major fight, but we have the lava armor too, and the angelic armor can be easily repaired like any other armor, so...
Lets enjoy some fucking godhood.
Another level. Notice anything odd?
Yeah, level 12 marks increased caps on basic traits. We get SoaG FOUR now.
.18 seconds per shot. NOW we can qualify for 'truly insane' pistol build. If we had this at the mortuary (and we would on a higher difficulty with more xps) we wouldn't have even needed the BFG.
Were we hit? I can't say I noticed.
Not hard to keep this armor in good shapre when enemies can barely scratch it to begin with.
Hmmm, supercharged health, some lava, no enemies... lets patch up our lava armor a bit.
Ah, nice and toasty warm.
Nice, we can start refilling our BFGs with these.
Yeah sorry, your chump plasma gun isn't going to cut it any more bitch. You're just a walking pile of energy cells now.
Help help I'm being taunted with weapons made for children!
We don't really need this thing any more. We're stupidly fast even in the angelic armor anyways. And even if we weren't we're nearly indestructible, have multiple phase devices, and enough nukes to clear every level left in the game without firing a god damned shot if we get the invincibility to do so. Not to mention enoguh firepower to rape shit before it hurts us anyways, instead of running away.
...
Whats that?
The next screenshot?
Yeah, this is when the power went out on the block where I live. DoomRL doesn't save backups in case of shit like that so Yeesh was banished to a dark oblivion.
Bye Yeesh, you probably would have been in the top 5 on my hall of fame, but now there's not even a mortem for you, and no medals either. This LP is your grave.

No troll, that really just happened. Now I'm debating whether or not I want to keep trying for this shit. Losing that character really sucked balls.

That is so weak. I remember I had a crash or two (but maybe just one) in Crawl, but I'm pretty sure lost the play since the start of the session (if I even lost that much). I'm a big fan of the forced-ironman nature of roguelikes, but not autosaving every ten minutes or so blows. In addition to power outages, there are brown outs in the summer, and there are crashes of the game itself, or other applications, or the OS, among other assorted troubles. It's just common sense to have some sort of contingency in place.

If you guys really loved me you'd bump this to the next page so the awesomeness of the next update doesn't have to share a page with this horribly tragic one.

Pretty sure DCSS autosaved whenever you entered a different level. Really surprised that DoomRL didn't have something similar.

DoomRL is a total dick about saving. You can only save on the stairs to a new level, and it forces you down the stairs. On top of that, on the hardest difficulty, saving isn't permitted at all. It is easily the thing I dislike most about the game.
