I had a thought with respect to text engraving. Could it be a feature one day that noble mandates could be directed by the nobles or the manager to be engraved on slabs and placed in communal areas as was often done with ancient laws? These could then be removed as they deprecate and placed in the garbage, or preserved in the library, or taken into annals by scholars, found by adventurers visiting ruins, as well as vandalized by dwarves who don't like the 'laws' and thus could be punished for it?

A suggestion, thinly disguised as a question. But a very good suggestion nonetheless.

My sincere apologies I understood this thread to be more of a suggestion thread then a question thread. I really appreciate what Toady and Threetoes do. I'm really sorry.

Adventurer cosmetic rerolls are great. Any implementation of rerolling options is great in my book. Probably a long time until I get the ones I want in world gen though.

I'm super psyched over the fun and silly bugs that will no doubt emerge from "more lively inns and taverns", but yes, the ability to see the appearance and personality and such beforehand... heck to have a personality at all, that's pretty cool news.

That and the possibility of assuming the role of a historical figure have me all giddy.

now that we have libraries and all that stuff, wouldnt be the time to implement a way to craft foreign weapons? maybe trade tomes with other civilizations or have dorfs discover how to do it through experimentation. i dunno, it would be a good addition to the system..

Toady said knowledge won't effect actual fortress workshops in the initial release, but yeah that seems to be one of the eventual goals for this arc.

Something like this should cover most of us.

Those are both pretty awesome new features. I wonder if age is also displayed, so we don't roll a character that's only a hairs' breath from a heart attack.

It also seems interesting to play the neediest possible adventurer, as a challenge.

Will there ever be a way in adventure mode to cheat death? Not like vampires or undead, I'm talking something more like the bottled fairies from zelda or transfering your spirit to other people or things like in yugioh, you know what I'm saying?
