Adventure Mode Rocks!
« on: November 24, 2007, 05:10:00 pm »

I just tried out adventure mode for the first time, and, I started out next to the mayor. I ended up attacking him, and, when I nearly had him down, a swordsman came in and killed me. I gave it another try, and this time, after giving myself actual skills, I proceeded to go on a rampage in the town. Needless to say, the guards ended up going after me, and I died. I have some questions that stem from my experiences. How do I talk to people, in case I ever decided not to slaughter the entire town? Can I wield two weapons at once? Can I destroy buildings or pick up and throw furniture? Thanks a lot!

Press k then move the X over the mayor and press enter then you can talk to him and get quests.

shift+T = Fast Travel
> Enter location
Q Travel Map

There is alot more to it but thats the basics to get you started.

BTW You WILL always die in adventure mode eventually if you see a cave spider RUN!

You will notice that "Adventurer mode" is code for "First-person Lemming mode"
As for Dual-wielding, I believe that you can wield two weapons by putting down your shield and picking up another weapon in that hand.
to speak with someone, press K. Sometimes, people will only talk to you if you are next to them, but otherwise, you can talk from long range.

Ehh.. putting a weapon in your off-hand isn't true dual-wielding, because as I understand it the key benefit to dual-wielding is that you attack twice whereas normally (with a weapon+shield) you'll only attack once, and that particular behavior is very likely not implemented yet.  I imagine the way putting another weapon in your off-hand would actually work in DF right now would be that sometimes you attack with your right-handed weapon and the rest of the time with your left-handed weapon, or possibly you'd only attack with the weapon you have the most skill with.

Trickies part is learning all the keys. Then it gets harder.
