Random Suggestion: New Game Mode
« on: February 13, 2011, 10:59:36 am »
Raise your hand if you've wanted to take control of a dragon, hydra, or bronze colossus or other megabeast and rampage around the country without exploiting utilities that are not intended for that purpose?

Me too.

It would only involve minor changes like firebreath and not allowing followers. I just think it would be awesome to do that. And DF is all about awesomeness!

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

You can do that already with some modding.

I once modded Bronze Colossuses (That is how it is spelled in the RAWS) to be Slade Colossuses. Then I played as them.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

It's possible with mods, and is actually in the devnotes, along with wizard tower and all that.

This is a planned feature. Saw it while I was looking around the Consolidated Development page in the DF wiki,

Quote from: DF wiki
MONSTER 

Playing the dragons and other large beasts seems like another good (and fairly easy) extension. You'd have to be careful, since there aren't very many large beasts in the world and you don't want to just possess them and have them all burn out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you do... or it could just give you new ones. You could also just occasionally have fun going out on an excursion and retiring, then play an adventurer and take a quest from a town to go and dispatch your old self.

That would be FANTASTIC!

But i have a feeling the brothers Adams have some opposition to game modes that don't invlve the player usually being the victim...

I suspect closet sadism...

What closet?  The tagline is "Losing is Fun".

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.
