I don't see our adventurer's hanging from the ceilings and snapping people's necks, though it'll probably be possible before it's all over with.
But that asside, what would you want for there to be in Adventure Mode?

[gumball135]

The ability to knock people out and drag them around. And, of course, you'd be able to drag corpses around too. Maybe a few assassin-like weapons; wrist blades, poisoned weapons etc. And the ability to add poison to people's food (I really like that one, although it won't work unless NPCs are given a realistic behaviour and schedule overhaul). Finally, to tie all of that up, there could even be an Assassin's Guild you could join, which would provide a reason for including all of the above features, where you could receive contracts and all that jazz.

There're just an amazing amount of things you can do with a game like DF.

Personally I want more realistic stealthful killing. Even if someone screams before you kill them, you'd have ample time to run and chances are they wouldn't know who you are off the bat if you were sneaking around. And I'm pretty sure you can't pack a body roughly the same size as you in your backpack.
I'd want:
-Alarm; Someone you kill should try to raise it if they notice you before death and have ample time to raise one. IE, if they see you and you can't manage to kill them, they might have enough time to yell that they're being attacked. They might figure out who you are in the process if they have knowledge of your existence and scream that too. However, depending on the situation you can kill them halfway through the scream or before they can get it out. Witnesses that see you kill them or try to will try to raise alarm and escape, though sometimes you may get lucky and begging for you to spare them in exchange for their lives, though they may occasionally lie, depending on if you're known well. Alarm should be some sort of measured thing; People will just think nothing at first, maybe that someone is having a nightmare, then they'll grow uneasy and spread rumors, then they'll get nervous and guards will grow more alert, until you reach a breaking point where they know something is wrong and begin searching for things unusual, and begin hunting you down when they know you're lurking.
-Surprising someone and silencing them, perhaps to interrogate them. Like if your surroundings permit it, you could hide in a small nook and pull someone inside with you into a chokehold, then do needed tasks (Kill them, knock them out, interrogate them) from there.
-The adventurer noticing things; if you leave someone alive too long that has seen you that won't keep silent, something like "_______ has a sudden look of realization on their face!" will show up, or when hiding if a guard or civilian runs by your character will notice if they're alerted, such as:
"______ paces by, a nervous look on their face as they search the shadows."
"______ runs by, cursing and looking as if searching for something."
"______ looks like they're calming down from something."
-People being tipped off by unusual things; blood on the floors and walls, tables and chairs knocked over, broken objects.... If someone sees you, if you're bloody they'll get concerned.
-Bodies have to actually be HIDDEN, and can't be carried in your backpack. You can pick someone up and carry them, with the cost of being encumbered and in a bad position if attacked, or you can drag them around. People won't know they're dead until they've been missing long enough and enough evidence is present or the body is found.

In retrospect, I think I play too many stealth games and it's beginning to affect me XD

Metal Gear Urist?

I really should stop playing it.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I think most of that is planned

[Dwarven WMD]

I think most of that is planned

I know it is.

[dmgpurity]

I think that there should be a stealth professionalism stat and if high enough, the player could silence the victim and stab him/snap his neck or something and the stat gets higher with more stealth kills

[Yoink]

Lol, with all the stuff in the 'most evil thing' thread, you should be able to drive a wagon and cruise around kidnapping people.
xD

[iceball3]

Maybe a jumping skill which would allow you to leap a distance depending on

Code: [Select]

strength + Jump Skill - (net encumbrance [includes own weight]/agility)And you would be stunned afterward for time equal to

Code: [Select]

Disttraveled/Jump Skill* (Net Encumbrance/Strength) - Jump Skill * (agility/terrain) - Willpower
quietness would depend on

Code: [Select]

(Ambush - disttravelled/Jumping skill)/(Net Encumbrance - Agility) - (Stuntime/Ambush)These values would be scaled apropriately, this should make sneaking over to otherwise unreachable stuff pretty neat. Also for height, just make the net encumrance and strength mean more than the other values.

[Knigel]

The dev blog mentions giving adventurers the ability to jump. Also climb.

[iceball3]

Hell Yeah! My suggestion(s) went through.

[Duelmaster409]

I want my adventurer to be able to knock adversaries unconscious, drag them to his batcave and tie him to a post. Screams of agony and terror echo through the cave as said adversary is slowly tortured and eaten alive. 

[KaguroDraven]

I want to be able to sneak into reach people's homes or castles, knock everyone unconcious, toss their bodies into humorous positions for when they wake up, then steal all their stuff. ......I've been playing too much Thief.....or not enough, not quite sure.

[Urist Da Vinci]

- Babysnatching/kidnapping quests: take people (childs or adults) from towns and sell them to the goblins. Would be amusing for a legendary adventurer to sell an entire town. Artifact flute + "an astonishing knack for music" = pied piper?

- Thief quests: each town/civ leader gets a randomly generated item during worldgen that only exists for you to steal, and perhaps deliver/sell to someone else.

- Scout: your mission is to explore enemy territory for your civ's military. Sabotage could also be fun. Set fires in the food stockpiles?
