The protagionist is effectively invulnerable, but must still be able to lose the game and must still grow in power through it
Man what? Half the fun of roguelikes for me is having my character get killed in bizzare and interesting circumstances.
Dwarf Fortress. I just wandered into a Dark Fortress in adventure mode, and was slaughtered by a pack of ravenous goblin children.
Goblin CHILDREN. I had a crossbow, and shot the first one through the lungs, so he fell over. Shot the second one and actually blew her arm off. Then like four more grabbed onto me, dragged me down, and a goblin with a sword showed up and cut my damn hand off. Then my leg. Then the goblin chlidren bit me to death.

I enjoy fortress mode so much I never get around to playing adventure mode.

There's no plan, there's no race to be run

Your a kid, asleep in your home, suddenly a meteorite crashes. Gigas. Now a randomized journey begins. Modern day setting. Cities. Deserts. Icelands. Time Travel. Swamps. Strange characters. Party members allow for squad based combat like in Dwarf Fortress. No limits on how many party members you can have. Low res graphics. Save the world. Or die trying.
oh man. whichever one of you assholes brought up dwarf fort and got me hooked should blow me.
how is dwarf fortress these days
It's going through a massive overhaul right now. There hasn't been a playable update in months, but there's an ever-increasing changelog that you can view if you want. When all the dust settles, Fortress mode will allow you to build on multiple levels instead of everything being on the same level. In addition, mountains will have shapes instead of just being cliff faces.

FUCK!
EDIT: I've started a new game of fallout 2 (I think this will be like my 20th playthrough) to try and cure the DF addiction.
