Why are there NO quests in my world?
« on: March 27, 2010, 03:00:34 pm »

Okay, it seems every  world I make has no quests in it. I just made a new one, and I've been going around and talking to every weapon master I see (I'm a human) and it seems like this is some hippy socialist utopia where there's no problems at all. This has happened in every world I've created--10 in all--and I seriously wanna actually take a quest.What can I do? Should I alter some of the settings when making a new world?

Or should I just become an Insane psychopath and kill every living thing I see?

Stop world gen early. There should be plenty of megabeasts then.

If you want to have lots of quests in adventure mode, when you gen a world, make sure there are LOTS of mountain caves in the world gen params.  Also, as previously stated, don't gen past about year 50.  After that most of the glory and gory has already passed.

Hehe, made a new world and stopped at year 53, and get a quest with the first person I talked to.

Some giant in a cave. This should be easy.

you could try to 'make' one by attacking a town bail then retire in a another town.
get a another adventure and fight your self. better when you make a huge fort filled with goblins that follow your evil adventurer(local dark fort or ask a band of goblins to join or S(t)eal), more fun is to have the evil character if a female give birth to a dragon/demon(lots more modding).

but that's complicated.

Same problem, may have to do with the worldgen parameters I used, though.

But megabeasts are invincible during worldgen.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

That was said before DF2010 came out.

So, I tediously awaited the arrival of the dwarven caravan (I'm set up on a island, see)... And, they came. My fingers tingled, my nose twitched and my toes tickled... they came around the corner, over my bridge... Into my courtyard... Onto my trade depot...

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.
