Mental Illness Idea?
« on: November 16, 2010, 11:14:15 am »
I've had ANOTHER crazy idea comrades!
Why not, incorporate Mental illness into DF, I mean, we already have retardation, why not schizophrenia? Mood swings? Or some other ILLNESS!
Good, what do you think Comrades?

Edit: Not Mental Illness, I meant "foundation for fun!", sorry Comrades for the cock up!

This is an enscribed adamantine dwarf-leg hammer.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes OF SHEER AWESOMENESS.

I'd not call it an illness. It's a foundation for fun!

Well, dwarves already go batty for a variety of reasons.
I expect it will eventually be a bit more complicated than suicidal/babbling and naked/berserk.
Having a dwarf who fails a metalcrafting mood get an extreme phobia of forges, or having a spirit-possessed dwarf lose all their memories post-possession would be the kind of stuff I'd like to see. :3

Yes, 3 kinds of illnesses? That's a bit limited, isn't it?

Well there was that one bug where the dwarf couldn't rest as he hallucinated an ennemy...

Dwarves should be able to confuse themselves and their roles (if ill)
Imagine a bone crafter thinking he is a mason.. Welcome bony furniture.

Are you talking about mental illness among the dwarves, or the players?
