Definitely removed by now. I think weapon twisting was removed in DF 0.40.01, but I'm not too familiar with older releases.

I started playing when 34.11 was the latest release, it was present in that version, and I don't think I've seen it happen since in newer versions.

Though do keep in mind you can actually lose your grip on your weapon if it is lodged in an enemy, leaving the weapon embedded in their body and you unarmed

You can always wrestle to regain possession of the weapon, though

So I'm currently playing an adventurer who's goal is to exterminate all the night trolls, and something happened that I've never seen happen before.

My man Ohe had just killed another night troll, who left him wounded pretty bad. In order to "save" him from bleeding to death, I had use dfhack to bodyswap to one of his companions, and then I fast traveled to and back to where he was. When I bodyswapped back, I noticed that Ohe had made himself some jewlery from the night troll and the dead goblins in the area!

Oh, and he also got some nice clothes and a pocket full of money from somewhere.

So, I created a new adventurer at the capital of their civilization. . . and immediately after starting, all the nobles are just SLAUGHTERING each other

This is useful to know, as I've been playing with a fortress with the intent to conquer the surrounding goblin and human civilizations.
How do you execute the demon king, though? Does this happen automatically after the dark fortress surrenders?

So I started up a fortress since the previous one died of fps death, and everyone there was depressed. I got my second migrant wave, and boy, did things get crazy

So as the dwarves arrived on the map, I decided to check them out and see where they came from, if they had come from my old fortress or somewhere else. A pair of dwarves were generated by the game, but were said to have left "The Law of Shadow", which is a government I created as an adventurer, who took back a town overrun by goblins. Why these dwarves got involved, I don't know. One of the was said to be a hearthsperson.

So more dwarves show up, and some of them come from a fort I made before, called "Lancertrusted". One dwarf who emigrated from there was named Catten Maystakes. The first thing Catten did was throw a tantrum, head right for the temple, and topple the one statue that was there. Now, the temple wasn't dedicated to any deity in particular, but does this still mean Catten has been cursed? I don't know! Looks like I'll find out in the coming months. Catten then proceeded to beat one of the stray cats.

Zefon Booklauds was another dwarf from Lancertrusted. I remember him, as he's caused me trouble before. He too threw a tantrum on arrival, and began to try to fight everyone else in the migrant wave. Nobody was seriously hurt, though.

Then there was Ast Axebeast. Ast was a miner from Lancertrusted, and as soon as he arrived, he went berserk. The first dwarf he saw was the administrator of the fort, Rimtar Moistenedroom. He struck her with his pickaxe, and tore off her lower left arm. Rimtar got out of these as soon as she could, and sent Urdim Portalwhip, the only soldier in the fortress, to kill Ast, which she did. Chopped him up into five pieces.

What am I gonna do with these troublemakers? I don't have any hillocks linked to my fort, so I can't send them away, and I feel guilty just exiling them. They're probably just trying to get away from their old, stressful lifestyles.

How do I sell goods? I have an item I light up for trade, and [a]sk for currency. Then I press "t" and the merchant is like "yeah just tell me what you want". I get the implication is to barter but I just want money!

Trading in adventurer mode is currently borked. What you have to do, is select the coins in their inventory, how many you want from them, select the good you want to sell, and then press (t). If you picked too many coins, the merchant will tell you "Throw in some more goods and I can make you an offer", so just keep decreasing the coins you want from him until they agree to the trade.

The important question is, can we now visit dark fortresses without the game slowing to an unplayable crawl?

I'd say yes. It's not been an issue for me for at least a year.

Huh, even in this new version, whenever I go to a dark fortress, the goblins start to scatter everywhere and it really slows the game down
