So i mostly played DF fortress mode up until few days ago. DF fortress mode is pretty well known by many people.
For years i didn't want to try adventure mode, every time i started it, it always ended up badly because like in case of fortress mode controlling stuff is horrible. There are some awesome concepts behind it like combat and other stuff but this stuff was kind of "Boring".
So it was normal day and got bit bored. So once again i started to play adventure mode. I forced myself through keybinding idiocy and spend good while on wiki figuring out stuff.
And game finally clicked with me.
Started as peasant with almost no skills aside from better agility and some novice ambushing.
For first 10-15 days i mostly tried to hunt animals for skins and tusks hoping i will sell it and buy some armor.
In those 10-15 days i experienced DF combat. Holy fuck. I tried earlier adv mode but most of the time i got killed by almost anything but now with wiki knowledge i did good and effects were amazing.
I mean i can sneak up laying on ground to boar, split his belly so that hits guts will spill out and run the fuck away waiting for boar to bleed out quickly.
Combat is also completely fair which is something i didn't expect. Almost any fight can be won if you will try to do it right provided you are not trying to handle whole bandit group by yourself.
Next case scenario. There is dude and i check him. He has some armor and looks like he is quite skilled judging from equipment. I check again he doesn't have any armor on lower legs.
I sneak up to dude again on ground and i cut up his tendon in his lower leg then i run away take my bow and practice on dude who can't catch up with me my archery skills.
Few next days i was trying to get some bandit group but there were to many of enemies to handle it. I go back to city and i am ambushed. I quickly sprint the fuck out of there then i hit ground and start to sneak. Dude comes up i check him and he has crossbow. Not good. I can leave or try to kill that fucker. I sneak up on him. I will try to take this fucker out in one shot. I target his throat with my seax and...
... i got him ! I stuck my knife into his throat ! I cut his major artery and dude has like seconds to live..... he took his crossbow and in his last moment shoot it straight in my face smashing my face and piercing brain...
awesome.
Then it got me thinking... what if i had wrestler skill ? I could grab his right hand (with crossbow) and with my other hand strike him until he is dead.
Or i could just target his hand hoping it will remove it or cut tendon which would leave dude weaponless..
Now i am thinking about creating wrestler/striker kung fuhrer type where he will be smashing with fists and breaking bones.
