Is Dwarf Fortress an open world game?
What I saw is that it generates a huge world. Can you "go" anywhere on that map once you started playing?
Best Answer
In Fortress mode: You can, with a few restrictions, embark anywhere on the generated world map. When you embark, you choose the "size" of your embark area (3x3, 4x4, et cetera). Once you embark, you play within your chosen area of the world and can't leave it without starting a new fortress. Certain sites, like those covered entirely by ocean, or already occupied by existing settlements of other civiliations, cannot be embarked upon without hacks.
In Adventure mode: Sure, if you can survive long enough to get there.
