The game was excellent before the mandatory additions. The original release left you feeling like the next room might hold what you needed in order to progress. The meta-progression system allowed you to compliment your arsenal with crafted tools and equipment. The additions, however, cluttered the game with so many resources that you never find what you need to craft the most simple things, many of which are now race-specific. There are only so many containers to loot in the game, and what you find is heavily rng-determined. In the vanilla version of the game, there was a good variety of crafting items to find and with a little luck you could piece a few items together. The expansion added 3x times the amount of possible drops, leaving you with an inventory full of junk.

Absolute classic roguelike, highly reccomended.
