With the addition of Museum areas, will there be archaeologists that come and visit your fortress if you have a museum?

Museums are rooms for displaying your artifact socks in the new display cases. Like statue gardens. They'll add to the reputation of the fortress, and keep residents happy.

If they're old artifacts, they probably don't belong to you and will more likely attract an irate army than a curious archeologist. Besides, archeologists don't exist yet,  historians do though.

1. Will it be possible for gods to disguise themselves as mortals and test real mortals and bless/curse them depending on how they do?
2. Would it be possible for magic in some worlds to be affected by a person's emotions? Like more strong/unstable when in an intense emotional state?
3. Would it be possible through magical means for a mortal to acquire godlike power?

If our fortress were to somehow discover the location of a vault, could we send a squad to steal its slab? Would the corresponding demon of the slab become quite fixated on destroying our fortress if word spread that we had their slab?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You stand a good chance of having that question be missed. I don't think there's much point in spoiler tags on a thread discussing the actual development of the game. May as well spoiler-tag the entire forum during the mythgen update.

Those things aren't necessarily planned for this release. Not talked about in detail for first pass at myth gen either. So these follow into the rabbit hole of "Sounds good. No timeline."

Is there anything in this next release that's kind of trivial but you're really looking forward to see live? Like a small addition or bug-fix that you wanted to do for a while and finally had the chance to?

As far as the discoveries and scholarship system goes: Are there any plans for actively harmful discoveries? E.g. bloodletting which can end up harming your Dwarves, or a philosophy of nihilism which ends up making them morose if they think about it? Or even Lovecraft-style Forbidden Knowledge which drives the reader insane?

This sounds exactly like the beginning of a non-magical rehash of the "can we randomly learn spells that blow up the whole fort" argument. Do we really need a long derail on the relative merits of giving the RNG the ability to drive scholars insane?

Toady addressed that question in PC Gamer. No need for a derail here.

Will there be any changes to "highest moodable skills" when creating artifacts regarding dwarves with no skills, such as children? So to prevent them from growing up into lowly craftsdwarves?

Will workshops presently not eligible for artifact creation, i.e. kiln, be available as well in the future?
