"She has the appearance of somebody who is X years old"...
« on: June 03, 2012, 05:32:36 am »
Sorry that I'm making a lot of threads lately, but whenever I try and search for these things, I come up empty handed. :|

It seems that my newly created race all "have the appearance of", instead of having an actual age. Is it possible that I accidentally created an all-vampire race? I haven't even touched anything to do with vampirism.

Also, one of them is described as: "She has loaded a tall body with incredible muscles". What the...?

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

Means they appear to be X years of age, and are older than the world is.

Same with Arena mode. :P

"loaded a tall body with incredible muscles" is just flavour text to tell you that the creature in question is surprisingly strong and tall for their race.

Ahhh... d'oh, the age thing should've been obvious.

I still don't really get the grammatical sense of "has loaded a tall body", though, but I'm glad to hear it's not some weird duplicate raws bug or something. :D

There are various Modding Questions thread, a genernal 34.xx thread was created by deon here http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=100707.0 and a few more specfic [MODDING] threads dedicated to 1-2 topics. I, Putnam, and a few others watch these threads for updates/questions.

Questions like this can help reduce clutter on the forums, since most of these are just "1 timers". You can however make a new thread for each question as you have been doing. Or use one of the specially made threads for these very questions.

It's in passive voice, yes, but it's correct. Would it make more sense if it were to say "her tall body is loaded with incredible muscles"?
