I realize that we'll probably be able to raise dragons and rocs from eggs in Fortress mode, but will we be able to do so in ADVENTURE MODE? Since there will probably be horse riding, I don't think it's too far off.

Wait, what's the horse for?

Feeding to your new pet dragon.  Try to keep up here.

Step 2. Fight modded-in slimes and other creatures to level up your skills and abilities. (Don't know how much % possible)

Yeah, my modded-in slimes are going to spawn in packs numbering in the dozens and cover you in corrosive slime slime. Surviving long enough to boost your skills and abilities might not be possible.

[Sizik]

I suddenly just realized that, with the addition of dragon LAIRS, we are this much closer to simulating Dragon Warrior/Quest (NES) in DF.

Step 1. King gives quest to kill dragon and bring back princess. (About half possible?)
Step 2. Fight modded-in slimes and other creatures to level up your skills and abilities. (Don't know how much % possible)
Step 3. Find new towns, explore dungeons for equipment (pretty much possible except for elaborate dungeons which will be incredible when implemented)
Step 4. Fight bosses as you go. (megabeasts and night creatures, anyone?)
Step 5. Townsperson: Retrieveth Twenty Bear Asses. Will pay 20 gold. (probably eventually)
Step 6. With new equipment and skills, bash the dragon's head out. Complete your main quest. (Probably done except for the dragon capturing someone)

My face at this prospect is not unlike FSJAL.

Fixed.

Is that some kind of donkey/bear hybrid?

No.

Unless that was tongue-in-cheek.

[Knigel]

Which it probably was.

For feeding to the dragon. Should make a check against Animal Trainer.

lol, missed a page, good joke though.

Will any creatures ever adopt an adventurer like cats do in Fort Mode? Also might some juveniles get an [IMPRESSIONABLE] tag or similar? Birds, that are about to hatch from all these crazy new eggs, are particularily good candidates for that I think.

Has anyone ever seen a cat .. dog, or any domestic animal in adventure mode? I can't ever recall seeing one at the moment. There isn't much mention pets on the dev_next /dev page. I'm sure is a topic that has been well explored though?

[Quatch]

I note there are no further macaques up for sponsorship.

[Rose]

that's a good thing, too.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

Askot is an idiot.

hey!

They used to roam the towns in the 2d version, and if everything goes according to plan, they'll again do so in the next version:

With ThreeToe's mention of pigs and chickens in the devlog and the November report... does that mean that the domestic animals, and any other tamed animals for that matter, will actually appear in adventure mode hamlets/towns again?

Yeah.  We hope for a rather large collection of farm beasts wandering around villages.  And perhaps pigs and chickens in the town yards as well.  Everybody likes to keep pigs and chickens.

Given that some of the new creatures and plants going in the game are going to have related economic benefits and produce tradable goods other than meat n' things, will we be able to buy rhino milk from the elves?

[Dante]

Rhino milk for the rhino milk god! Dragon cheese for the dragon cheese throne!

[Arkose]

Dragon cheese for the dragon cheese throne!

What with dragons not being mammals, I'd expect any dragon cheese to have an equally disgusting origin as dwarven milk.

[Areyar]

Platypuss dragon (Munchkin reference) possibly has milk.
