Quick Questions
« on: September 06, 2011, 09:33:29 am »
I played a character who unfortunately lost his right foot to a troll. I decided to retire him and start a fresh character.
I noticed that when I go to the create a character screen I can play as my previous one-footed character that I retired.
Is that character now controlled by AI? If I left him alone for a while will he go off and do his own thing? Or will he remain where I left him?

I do believe they stay in the town you left them in, you can go recruit them, kill them or just have a chat with them.

He'll pretty much just sit there.

Oh yeah: Nazis.  Now I lost the argument.  So you can't argue with me anymore.  Nyah.

Does anybody know if they can die of old age or monsters while you're playing fortress mode?

Neither, though they will pretty much immediately die of old age if you decide to play as them again after 200 years.

"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.

If they're loaded at all, they'll die of old age.

Thank you for the replies.

Whilst I am adventuring, is the world around me still moving forward in real time? I like the idea of other heroes killing beasts whilst I am. I hate the idea of the legend not moving forward after its been generated.

It doesn't at all. That's a future update.
