All generalization or absolute statements are false, except this one.

Then you'd increase your repertoire, you'd trade in your time and the years of your life for some more skills, and you could then practice them on people as well when you're actually fighting, and you could get better at them that way, but you won't learn new skills that way, unless you fight people long enough and then you suddenly realise 'I know how to do the eagle punch all of a sudden! I understand the deep mystery!' There could be things like that especially if we have universes that are move like Fist of the North Star, then that kind of thing would start to happen, but mostly we're thinking training with warriors and so on.

I long to adventure as dwarf-Kenshiro.

Oh, and with the bakery talk...

"You are already bread."

The previous posters are absolutely right...DF is a tool for creating art*.  I get exactly the same feeling building a fortress as I do painting. 

*A tool for creating art could also itself be art, depending on the tool

About the restrictions on guiding mounts, shouldn't your mount have at least the capabilities of the native animal, just with restricted player control?

As a player riding a horse, chasing a horse, we should be able to reasonably approximate whatever movements our target makes...

I like the idea of running at full tilt reducing the range of movements we can make, but I don't think a horse should suddenly be unable to turn around once something sits on it.

Also fun would be increased possibility of tripping or other mistakes, and similar mechanics should happen whenever a creature pushes itself beyond it's normal limits.  A good example is carrying an elephant carcass and two bins of lead bars.  Just slowing you down is a poor abstraction.  Other examples are butchery accidents when you don't get enough rest, or try to do it too quickly.

What would be the response of the dwarf eating their fine rum roast, only to discover poor Urist's thumb?

Knowing dwarves, they'd suck the food off and then start using the thumb as a weapon.

I always love listening to the talks. They're awesome. :3

Loving the game so far, but I heard there was once magma rivers.

Can we has again? Soon?

I love Dwarf Fortress Talks. I listen to them while playing the soundless adventure mode!

This is a creation tool. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It has an image of dwarves on it. The dwarves are laboring. The image refers to the creation of dwarven fortresses across many parallel universes. It has an image of elves on it. The elves are burning.

Cool and all, but what does this have to do with the DF Talk podcast?

A short discussion we had on this thread re: DF as art or tool to create art.
