Since the new update, i noticed a green 'Focused' sometimes at the bottom left of my screen. How does this affect gameplay and combat especially?

[IndigoFenix]

Depending on your adventurer's personality, they may have a need to do different things periodically (get into fights, socialize, create works of art, drink, worship, and so on).  If you role-play well, you get the Focused (and Focused!) status; fail to fulfill your needs and you will become distracted and unfocused.  You can view your needs on the character status screen.

It is probably safe to say that being focused has positive effects on your skills and being unfocused has negative effects.  More science will be needed to work out the numbers.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Better fighting, I'd say.

[Untrustedlife]

Its a good way to encourage roleplaying based on your chars personaility. examine your character to see what stuff you need to do.

Everything in the middle except:

Peace(value) to the right
Harmony(value) to the right
Intemperance(trait) to the left
Greed(trait) to the left
Harmony(trait) to the left
Austere(trait) to the left
Uhhh...

Basically everything that has a --> arrow to the left, you should end up with no needs, and from there you can pick which ones you want to deal with since impossible ones to fulfill suck, and stuff like having to get a billion rings every second to fulfill getting new things gets ridiculous after a while, while learning stuff and brawling can be fun, though arguing can be fun it is a pain when you get too good at it.

uhh, the only 2 that dont work for me are family, friends, the rest works.

So, then tell me, which elven girl you married, to take care of romance. 

Usually, if I end up with family, romance or friends, I play it with another need in fighting, arguing and brawl.
Seems like the perfect combo. Just imagine that someone who spits at you, is your partner/family member/soon-to-be-not-your-friend and take your relationship to the next level.
By beheading them.

I forgot about romance.
but i bet it gets fulfilled if your char runs off and gets married after you retire then you unretire and you talk to them. (adventures do that now)

Cant get married /get friends while playing though sadly. (at least i dont think so)
#worldactivation is awesome.

There is a fine line between "works" and "you end up walking around in half a ton of jewelry trying to satisfy your neverending need to accumulate new jewelry" though.

Fun fact, the higher the quality the more your need is fulfilled.

[Max™]

Yeah, but it still wears off after a while, and sadly the items you make yourself don't seem to matter, so even if your character can crap masterwork dragonbone jewelry (which sounds awesome!) all day long, it doesn't matter as much as a no quality aluminum ring (which also sounds kinda awesome) you found in a mead hall.

[Klitri]

I buy things from stores to fulfil my need of acquiring.

[Uzu Bash]

But what does it mean to be "Focused!"? I'm Unfettered or Level-Headed in everything except 'Help Somebody', because I let someone talk me into the value of sacrifice, I think. Could these be a modifier for the Focus attribute?

[Max™]

Help somebody can be a pain, I assume rescuing kids would do it but they all escape now.
