Personally, wandering around as a bandaged adventure would be cool as hell, if wounds don't autoheal on travel anymore.And now arrows and bolts don't result in instantaneous fun, so you can finally get revenge on those elven archers.

Yeah, if we can reliably get to the underground caverns (through caves? Dwarf fortresses? Goblin towers?), I might start playing Adventure mode before I even touch Dwarf mode.

First things first, I wanna muck around in the arena, to get a quick feel for the new wounds.

Then, I will take a newbie adventurer straight into the first cave I find and try to have some good old fashioned FUN.

I always start with adventure mode, just to get a 'personal relationship' with the world.

This way it'll be even cooler, so I'll do my best to map out the nice underground. (Finally something else than those irritating caves in which it's impossible to find whatever you've come to kill.)

The new organization of creatures and bodies is going to be so much fun for modding. Playing a wandering Adamantine robot is going to be the balls.

I've actually done that, but instead of being a robot they're called "Adamantine Horror" with an extra pair of arms and twice the size of a Bronze Colossus. They also don't have their limbs severed when they break.

I'm going to make a Clockwork Annihilator, a huge bronze clockwork spider with scything claws that breathes evaporated lead.

I would probably start with a fortress, dig my way down to the depths to open the way to all sorts of interesting caverns and such, probably get wiped out by whatever lives down there, then explore with an adventurer.

Arena mode isn't an Adv. Mode feature, and if exploring the new caverns doesn't count as a feature, I don't know what could.

But yeah, I'm just going to go hog wild with the new combat like everyone else.

i wasnt aware that arenas were in just an Arena mode for toady to test stuff with. Are there in game arenas in the ent version? I will probably try and get deep enough underground to try and defeat a clown with my stone throwing skills.

This is correct.  It shows up in the main menu as "Object Testing Arena" and it doesn't interact with a DF world in any way.

At first I will go to the most dangerous place possible with an adventurer and I will read descriptions of creatures. I want to see what Toady One made up for them before I start modding them :). I could just look into raws, but it's much funnier this way. Some kind of a "deadly zoo" :).
