Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, so try searching around the forums for a bit. I think you'll have to edit the raws in order to disable them, but I have little experience in modding DF so I wouldn't be able to tell you how to do it.

So, I have an adventurer who's lower left arm recently got chopped off because I decided it would be fun to start clobbering people with a lead ladle instead of slicing them with my longsword... Anyway, his other arm has motor nerve damage, so my master swordsman has been reduced to kicking and biting people to death.
What I want to know is:

What happens when I retire an adventurer? Will I be able to play as him again? Because the game notifies me that all active saves will be deleted.

If I make another character in the same region as the retired character while he is retired, will he be deleted?

Also if I do decide to play as him again, will he still have all of the items that he owned before his retirement?

Thanks in advance for answering these questions. Now I'm just hoping his motor nerve damage will heal, which I've read takes a really long time 

I've actually experienced something like this as well. I got a quest to go kill a bandit leader, but everyone there was friendly towards me. I even tried to get quests from some of them, and they wanted me to kill their own leader. It was rather strange... Anyway, I recruited a couple of them and traveled back to the town from whence I came. As I guessed, they were attacked by the villagers and killed. I suspect this happens because at the time of talking to them, you are seen as a hero of their faction, so they won't attack you... Maybe we did some other deeds that gained their favor?

I recently came across the daughter of a Lady who had survived an attack on her by... I believe it was a titan? I can't really remember though, but I'm pretty sure that it was a titan who attacked her. I knew she survived because she was in the same room as her brother, whom I was talking to at the time.

Well, that didn't last long. First this guy broke some of my ribs with his maul, and then proceeded to smash my head in

If an enemy stabs you with a weapon and it gets lodged in you, you can also (i)nteract with that weapon while it is stuck in you and try to gain possession of it, although I've never pulled this off successfully.

Ah, alright, thanks.

Are you suggesting we implement pimp canes?

If youve ever played Saints Row 2, you know better then to underestimate the almighty pimp cane.

And yes, pimp canes (especially in Saints Row 2) can be quite fashionable as well as deadly 
no.. that doesn't necessarily mean I want them in the game lol
