So I’ve played a lot of Fortress mode, but have never really explored adventure mode much. With the current new release, I’m thinking of giving it a shot, but I was curious about what everyone’s experience is with adventure mode. How good is it? Can it lead to crazy/epic stories like in Fortress mode, or is it mostly just eat, drink, kill monsters, and get loot?
I never read any crazy stories from adventure mode, and I’m not super interested if it is still a simple kill and loot type of game. I’m also currently playing Cataclysm DDA, which does a great job of scratching my rogue-like itch.
I brought an adventurer into an established world. A Human Herbalist Swordsman. After taking a few weeks to get my bearings I made a beeline towards my newest fortress to read the slabs and maybe steal some equipment.
I stumbled upon a Goblin nest, a weak goblin wielding a silver spear got a lucky hit on my exhausted Swordsman, breaking his foot, before slowly beating him to death with the spear.
Learned two things. Watch your fatigue. Silver is an awful material for slashing and piercing weapons.
