High Priests talk to Deities
« on: October 25, 2013, 07:54:27 pm »
Recently I was playing around with DFhack's adv-bodyswap command to get out of a hole that I was stuck in when I used it on a priest in a temple. Using the priest I walked around a bit and I went to talk to a fisherman. Then I saw this:

At first I wondered why there were three deities on top of a fisherman but when I moved the cursor over to empty space they were still there.
Priests can talk to deities directly. If you go and actually talk to them it comes up with Greet and Nevermind. If you choose greet it will crash the game.

I believe in older versions it was possible to become part of a religion by talking to a priest which would give your adventurer the same options. I'm guessing this is just a relic of that.

I was messing about some more and it seems that anyone who worships anything can do the same.

In older versions, it was possible to talk to deities after joining a religion. However, doing so wouldn't do anything. You would have all of the options you got when talking to anyone else, but the deity would always remain silent.

In short: unimplemented feature.
