So, I've been toying with adventure mode lately, something I haven't done in several versions. I'm glad to see that it has been considerably advanced, but I remain adventurously lost.
What I found to be an attractive scenario was starting as early in time as I could, in an era where great powers of all sorts are still about. Dragons, colossi, titans, demons, Hell, the lesser stuff, so on and so forth. Assuming I grew powerful enough to take such things on, then hunting them down seems like fun. Become a power in my own right, so to speak.
However, all I've managed to do is get lost on even the simplest of quests. I learned tonight about shift+T, which I'm sure helps a lot with actually getting to where you need to be. That may solve one issue. However, what about the wider world? If you don't build and then abandon a number of fortresses, is there really much for you to see? Are those great powers and access points to places like dark fortresses or Hell out there even still?
When roaming around on my own in search of such stuff, I generally find a whole lot of nothing, even mundane creatures. I did once find my way to a goblin fortress, and though I was able to access a few buildings there, nothing was inside any of them. I figured I'd finally have found a demon, given that they tend to rule goblins, but no such luck.
I am a sad newbie in an era of legendary beings. Help me to become a demipower, O wise ones!
