Butchering sentients without starving youself?
« on: January 16, 2014, 09:04:19 pm »

I have thought of a way to butcher sentients without starving yourself. You simply go to the raws in the region file and remove the [CAN_LEARN] tag from the creature you are trying to butcher after you have killed it, butcher the corpses, and then add the tag back. I have used this several times.

"Engraved on the wall is a masterful depiction of a human by Logrin.  The artwork relates to Xotano Beastblood The Everseeing Dwelling of Clouds the human vampire recruiting some new human shields companions after his encounter with Ral Firewealthy the Warm Flicker the dragon, during which his face was melted off."

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

Yeah, man! It's way more fun to just remove [CAN_LEARN] from everything! Or wait till near death to eat that elf!

Not that I can officially condone either of those activities.

Just carry your dead elf until starving, then eat the tree huggin' bastard. I imagine they taste like grass, personally.

I think this game has given me Stockholm syndrome, but I love it so, and it's simplistic style yet extremely complex mechanics are like fine art, like a beautifully crafted ☼Cave Spider Silk Sock☼" - Dirk 3/31/2014

Why wouldn't you just permanently change dwarven ethics to allow cannibalism and butchering sentients? Unless you aren't playing one of the races without ethics this seems like a more elegant work-around.

Ethics ain't got nothing to do with it, unfortunately.  You can tell because Elven ethics *should* allow them to omnomnom sentients, and yet you can't butcher people in Adventure mode.  Which means the only way to get a -human bone crown- is to kill a vampire for it (not that that's particularly difficult, admittedly)

We're basically feasting on eldritch abomination cookies. I love this game.

Well, it's no big loss if you delete the tag. Elves never learn anyway.
