Dwarf Fortress

So I've played a lot of Fortress mode, but have never really explored adventure mode much. With the current new release, I'm thinking of giving it a shot, but I was curious about what everyone's experience is with adventure mode. How good is it? Can it lead to crazy/epic stories like in Fortress mode, or is it mostly just eat, drink, kill monsters, and get loot?

I never read any crazy stories from adventure mode, and I'm not super interested if it is still a simple kill and loot type of game. I'm also currently playing Cataclysm DDA, which does a great job of scratching my rogue-like itch.
