In the long term, do you see the emulation of bureaucratic functions necessary, or best left abstracted? Both for worldgen history keeping, as well as active-fortress and adventure level actions.
For instance, attempting to get a loan from a local banker, or making written dictations of laws on sites by siteholders.
The question doesn't concern whether these actions can happen, but whether the guts and causes of said actions would occur (paperwork, people passing along dictations among groups, et cetera).


The long-term (as in, 20 years) plan is for almost nothing to be abstracted, so there's that.

Do you plan on adding funeral rites?
"Sounds good, no schedule, check notes". Probably.

Probably will come in together with magic&myths.
Perhaps. But "Possible expansion of religious and family concepts..." comes under starting scenarios (which seems to be everything society, law and politics related) so it may not be until later.

I don't think that is true.

Are there any easter eggs still hidden in the game that players haven't found yet?

DFHackers would unearth them a while ago if that was true.

There is that weird thing with the slab that reads "I am watching" and the mysterious dwarf face that pops up afterwards, which only one person has encountered.

I misremembered it slightly; the slab purportedly read "Woe to you that disturbs my resting place. I am watching still"
However, you're right, as that's not in the string-dump either. There's " watches still," but that obviously doesn't work for the first-person. Good catch, that.

Most likely fake due to not being in string dump. Half-baked creepypasta that isn't creepy.

Is this...half-baked creepypasta based off a misreading of the mummy slab text, really? Oh great Meatgod, save us from the degeneracy we've sunken to. :V

Let us not forget the fake Demon of Lies screenshot. That one spread to both the subreddit and TVTropes, despite having nothing resembling genuine dialogue.

Note that that was created 2 years ago. Also, link to demon of lies?

Here's the original.
In the course of searching for that, I discovered that someone made an animation out of it. Armok have mercy.

Will the magic system allow for blood magic and fleshwarping/crafting powers, possibly akin to something like the SCP Foundation's Sarkic Cults, or the Flesh Golems in D&D? Will we be able to make horrific abominations and tame them?

I'm also interested in knowing if holy relics will enable the user to call upon divine power, whether instant death/save or die spells will be implemented or not, and whether or not the player will be able to specify spell-based weather in worldgen, e.g make it rain healing potion or rain the components needed for a constant death or poison curse in the affected area.
