Getting Fat?

So...i want to get fat! (With my adventurer, of course.)
Is it possible by eating or i should be 'born' fat?

That's awesome! I always thought that fatness was a trait set in stone. Please create a log of your adventurer's journey to corpulence!

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

Go spend a few hours of real time murdering animals till you have a massive stockpile of meat, then just eat and sleep and eat and sleep in some human fortress so you are safe from the bandits/bogeymen.

Well, i got a muscular adventurer, and i'm making him eat some wolf meat, if i get him fat i give you some feedback.

Edit: 2 days of eating about 128 foodz and nothing...i don't think it works

Sad Edit 2: I got killed....by an bandit elf leader.... Why an ELF?

You should try sleeping a lot so time will pass because it probably takes some time to get fat

Sleep in a human fortress so you don't get murdered at night.

With my dwarf I just killed a dragon, butchered it and got 320 meat.

I went to a town and started eating it so I could get fat. I'd eat 3 times and then wait an hour. I got down to 87 pieces of meat, so that's over 2/3 of a dragon, and haven't gained a single pound  :( . Maybe dragon meat is really lean? Should I go find a whale?

Sounds like eating probably has no effect at all in adventure mode in this version.

It actually does have an effect. It just takes a while.

... What? I got bored and decided to test it.

Entirely possible, I think the part that's messing you guys up is using the sleep/wait command.

Run around and do whatever until it lets you eat again instead of giving the "you are too full" message. I'm not sure if lowering your speed (laying down + sneaking, carrying a bunch of heavy stuff) while taking steps speeds up the process, it at least seems to. After a round or two of this, you should notice a change in your adventurer's description. What I have yet to determine is whether there's a cap on their weight, if it stops going up once it hits that highest level descriptor or if it keeps going.

... yes I decide to gather info on weird crap when bored, although this one was sort of spurred by an old bug report.

On the item is an image of Ngom Fishsin the goblin and a alligator in mountain goat leather. The alligator is striking down Ngom Fishsin. The artwork relates to the killing of the goblin Ngom Fishsin by a alligator in Crueljoy in The Mechanical Spine in the late autumn of 11 during Kaguskok, "The Crazy Assault".
