I keep attempting to buck my own tendencies; started a new plain vanilla 'Beater' char run the other day. However, I became sidetracked as I was intrigued by some thoughts for implementing some 'House Rules' for alternate progression aimed at Voyagers and Builders.

Until I discuss it with a modder or someone very familiar with the recipe mods, it will still require use of console and devcommands once per each new biome 'unlock'. Still working out the details but discarded the old 'die roll' treasure hunt idea with a new recipe based scavenger hunt idea - still encourages exploration and bypasses the boss kills and event progressions entirely. Aiming for a good fit with /noportals and even *shudder* /nomap options :grin:.

It should turn out to be a 'no-bosses'-lite play-through; the end game would probably revert to kill bosses in some random order with increasing difficulty (via num players global). The real handicap is no Forsaken powers until endgame.

Anyhow, so now doing a trial 'by-hand' run as a Voyager (of course) and will be doing a bit of Builder in a Combat Engineering way.

Thanks for all the replies, it is very interesting to learn how others play this great game.
