I've always been a fortress mode type of person although as much as I enjoyed being a necromancer in adventure it's gotten boring. I don't have a goal anymore in adventure mode because now I'm just stuck on the question 'what do I do now?', and honestly if anyone has anything they want to say on what kind of adventures I could go on that would great. Oh and if there's a mod that makes adventure mode better that's up to date (if possible) you can throw that at me as well.

Happy new dwarf.. year?

Goals:

Become the world's hammerer. Strike down all the criminal and bandits on the known world.

Creature of the night hunter. Hunt down night trolls, vampires, were beasts (on werebeast form!)

Super thief. Steal all the coins from all the stores in a town. Then move to the next town and star over.

Beast slayer. From a named dingo to a thousand years old dragon, if it can be slayed, you slay it.

Just have fun. Try to take one path without stepping into another.

You can also impress people with your singing and dancing and poetry and such.

Gather fifty zombies, build a tower, and write copies of the Secrets of Life and Death. Play up being a real necromancer.

There's also Adventurecraft or Wanderer's Friend. They add more reactions and allow you to use more materials around you. Plants, animal products, stones. You name it, there's something made from it.

I find it helps to know more about the world before starting in adventurer. Once you have an idea of what's been happening, what major conflicts are going on, who you should think of as your enemies, it's easy to come up with reasons for wandering around (the actual in-game systems giving you stuff to do are still somewhat limited). Use Legends Mode to export legends data into something like Legends Viewer to make that easier.

The main systems which are working right now are missions from hearths (start as a heathsperson ask the nearby lord) and reputation. To build reputation as a warrior, complete aforementioned quests or ask around towns to see what's bothering the common folk then go sort it out, come back and tell everyone about it.

Reputation as a performer can be gained by singing, dancing, telling stories and stuff anywhere people can hear you.

When you want to retire you can just hit 'retire' or for more interesting options, build yourself a house someplace dangerous (then visit yourself later to see how you're holding up) or go and join a fortress you built previously (either as a member of the guard or as a performer) then retire. When you play that fortress again, you can have fun watching your adventurer scurry about with the other dwarves.

Become the best in the world at bodyslamming any wild animal you come across.
Play as a rhinocerous man and go on a rampage.

I didn't know that you can build a tower as a necromancer that's one of the things I wanted to do but didn't know is even possible.

You build a site, and have a wooden tower, but it's possible.

Another thing you can do is conquer a goblin tower and slay clowns in the circus, or climb mountains.

You need a blank scroll/quire along with the ability to read. The subjects available to write on are determined by what you've read/done as an adventurer.
