So I've gotten back to DF after a somewhat long hiatus - genned a large region with some customized settings.
My initial few playthroughs were probably the most insane I've had in a while. All were as various tarkatan warriors from the same civ.
First one - barely a minute in, I walk outside my tiny house and see this going on.
A chief fishing a fisherman - by the time I got anywhere close to them, the fisherman was a quadriplegic torso rapidly bleeding to death. Needless to say, I tried to fight the chief.
I savescummed and tried again.
I've checked the guy later - he was an Ogron master lasher, somehow, despite his only kills being me and some other villagers.
Next up - I made another tarkatan, recruited a crossbowwoman waifu, and went to the biggest town of my civ. In the keep, I found some kind of outcast society of pygmies - not even warriors, just masons, hunters, engravers, woodcutters, etc. All hostile on sight. I killed around 15 of them, before heading back. On the way, a surprise popped out of nowhere and murdered my waifu after spilling her guts.
Of course I try to fight again, to no avail.
I guess what happened there is that he jammed the meat hook into my head, then pulled on it with enough force to make my head come off. The guy was like the Butcher from Diablo, only thing that was missing is him going "Ahh, fresh meat!" to signal his presence.
Lastly, I went to the same town, trying to see if I could get revenge for my previous adventurer. In the keep, I noticed the lord and the religious leaders I saw previously laying on the ground, dead. My game lagged a bit at that point - unfortunately this meant I kept moving forward before it unlagged.
Then, Cthulhu out of nowhere.
I think this is what happens when you accumulate 10 years straight of bad karma. A dimensional portal rips open, Cthulhu comes out and bashes your brains out.
