In fact, you will be able to only dig soil and pull boulders from the soil. Nothing like fortress mode digging.

Yes, this was what I meant. You can dig, but nothing hard enough to require a pick. And you can make stuff, but only out of rocks and logs.

There used to be a time that the term adventurer was not synonymous with maniac, but it seems so long ago now...

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of killing people by using their own vomit as a projectile.

The human towns will also have places to sleep, which implies that either vagrancy brings the wrath of the law down on you or certain things aren't afraid to traverse towns at night.

I think it's more because aimed shots are being implemented and being unconscious leaves every part of you vulnerable. Sleeping somewhere safe is really important now because getting attacked in your sleep by anything which can kill you almost always will kill you.

I heard only human towns will get the fix. The other races towns will have to wait.

Well, they're the only ones to be "fixed", because dwarves and elves never sold anything in Adventurer mode anyway.

Now the priests have a weapon...

Or you know, it could just be two bows crossed

The priests already have weapons. In fact, they're often better armed than the local guard.

I wonder how skills factor into this aimed shot thing. Is it just a matter of weapon skill or is the fighter and striking skill mixed in? Will weapon masters have significantly higher hit chance?

Well, seeing how both of those factoring into doing everything else with a given melee weapon, I don't see why this wouldn't.

Yes, those kinds of attacks are much more likely to be fatal than you might think.

Not that it matters with the current civilizations all being a hive mind which will immediately all start killing you the second you steal a sock.

[sarcasm]Yes, it is a pity DF is no longer in development and things never change.[/sarcasm]

I know you'll be able to do it eventually (non-fatal attacks are mentioned in the dev blog), just not "soon".

I will collect teeth.

D'ythink this makes them doom spiders less doomy?

Well, now they'll have a much easier time poisoning you because they'll just go for the soft, unarmed spots to bite.
