Textures also appear to be quite better in my opinion.

They look good from far but when you close in, it just seems weird. Especially shadows.

The main concern about Hamstone is that he's really hard to make into an effective adventurer in DF. A wall of granite is a fair approximation (it can crush people and is made of granite), but Hamstone moves around by his own power! But if you're cool with me posting entirely made-up adventures, then i shall proceed. I'll probably also proceed if you're not cool with it.

As long as it's funny

It doesn't seem difficult to draw. Maybe I'll try to draw Hamstone too sometime, if you don't have a copyright or trademark or any stuff like that on Hamstone™

It isn't like the dawn of a new era in video game graphics. Textures are very low-res. If you don't have any problems running Oblivion you should be fine, if you don't want ultra settings.

Honestly I cheat like a motherfucker on those missions because it's maximum retard. So I'm wearing this big cloak that doesn't actually make me look like a peasant, and I'm not wearing anything underneath it?

Maybe you are. You have your armor and weapons when you start rescuing the prisoner.

I always do there missions because pay is good and relationship bonus may come in handy. It's not that difficult even in maximum combat damage. Just pick the retards off with your bow as they charge. If they have shields let the lord you are rescuing attack him and kill the enemy dude by getting behind him as he fights the prisoner.

Has anyone ever gotten one of those missions to break a guy out of jail? I can't seem to even complete those. So far I can only figure out that you need to take over the town, or break the guy out of jail by fighting a large number of guards with nothing but a staff and throwing knives in a horrible starting position.

If you have to break out the guy from a non-hostile faction's castle, you can bring your equipment. Talk to the guard, ask for the keys, take them by force, free the prisoner, then beat the guards.

The game mentioned something about having connections. Is there a third way to do it? Like have really good relations with the owning lord or something?

You can start a fire in a village nearby to reduce the number of guards you are going to fight. Just talk to the village elder and bribe them into starting a fire.

Alright. I concede defeat and accept the superiority of Nexus Mod Manager. Happy?

It's January 26 and still no CK

I haven't really looked into this thread before now, and I regret it (the not looking bit). I wasn't introduced to roguelikes before I faceplanted into DF, and since then all the roguelikes I've played have kind of fallen short of the hopes and dreams DF jammed into my brainspace. Sure, Cataclysm, Nethack, and IVAN are fun, but none of them have the whole package: a robust combat system, a large open world, and glorious, glorious deaths. But this gem being developed here seems to be hitting on all my desires in a roguelike. If it were a woman I'd probably definitely propose.

You can expect my full attention from this point forward.

Also, how many loading screens do you think there are in Skyrim? As in, how many segments of text? I can't find a total, but URR now has around 120, all of which are a paragraph, and the loading times are both pretty rare & short. I think it's a good compromise. I'll throw up a screenshot of a loading screen at some point. Also, a lot of the loading screens for each game are going to be procedurally-generated! More on this later...

I don't know how many loading screens there are in Skyrim because CK isn't out yet but Oblivion definitely had less than 120. Procedurally generated loading screens are a good idea.

As long as we have a step-by-step magic system, I'm game. I'm glad you liked that idea. Only your imagination should be the limit when it comes to spellcasting, rather than the classic "cast x to make y" kinda spells.

Heh, I never use a mod manager. It's not that difficult. Drag and drop to the Data folder and check the mod from the launcher.
