I agree with this.

A thought on child proofing things. Have a new option on doors saying "Adults only", which would basically mean the door handle  is higher up. And new designation "Adults only" would mean any children seen in this spot are taken away. Children will still pull levers, but only if you dont do anything.

So let me ask you this, then: why aren't we required to check every dwarf for tick infestations every time they come in from the outside? Ticks could carry disease, and if a dwarf goes too long without removing the tick, they'd get sick and maybe die. You could have healthcare dwarves standing by the entrance to give every dwarf their physical. After all, parasites are realistic. And anyone who thinks this is a stupid idea just doesn't want to be held responsible for sending dwarves outside without thinking about the parasites that are out there.

But would that be fun? Would that be an aspect of the game that is enjoyable? The entire thing with kids pulling levers is that it would be a random thing that you would have to take into consideration, like being sieged or meeting a megabeast. Its all in the name of fun.

Question: Can a three year old pull a rusty solid platnium  lever. No. So just let them try to pull it, and let them fail.

So we choose what to dig and they choose how to dig. Sounds good. It would be awesome to see someone digging in circles.

dogs/cats/etc. Pets hoarding stray socks and such.

My dog does that!

Give each world it's own set of causes. This makes it slighty more random and slightly more predictable.

It depends on the type of undead. When a creature dies, its soul is supposed to move on to its afterlife. So something that has died and been brought unwillingly back to life e.g. a zombie raised by a necromancer, would not have a soul. It would have the necromancer's will driving it. But a zombie that is restless would have a soul, because obviously its soul hasnt found rest (that is why it is restless).
A vampire would still have its soul becuase it has never died. It has caught a disease, extended its life, been possessed, been infected, or dabbled in dark magic so its has never really "died".
A werewolf (when classed as undead) also still retains its soul becuase it has caught lycanthropy, not death.
A ghost/spirit IS a soul, just without a solid form.
And skeleton's have to be animated by magic, thats what keeps their bones together and gives them strength. Without the magic they are just bones so their soul has already departed.
