I think it'd be fun to have the ability to step down from command in Fortress mode and walk around as one of the dwarves in Adventurer mode, but instantly. Like, push this hotkey, say yes, you're one of your current dwarves.

This would only be fun if the Skills Arc was done though, there wouldn't be much point otherwise.

I can see myself doing this with dwarves I want to die hilariously.

Urist McDwarfy: Huh, the new hammerer has just jumped off the cliff. Why do they all do that?

But which time scale will you use? In adventurer mode there is actually time instead of rapidly changing dates. I imagine you could get a lot more done in a fortress if you just have your dwarves go into adventurer mode after designating a heckload of work.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
