Looks like you need to wear the quiver and then pick up the arrows from the floor

You dont actually need to put them into quivers actually I think, but you can use 'p' to put them into a container - i.e. quiver. And I dont believe you need to be wearing it either.

I know I havent been paying attention to whether or not Im wearing mine, but I just [p]ut arrows/bolts into it when I find them around.

Ok so next question - is there a way to remove bolts/arrows from your body without bleeding out or something? My adventurer seems fine, but hes got some bolts sticking out of him i'd like to see if I could heal. Other than that he fights fine.

Something about this game makes me wonder why God lets it exist.
Say, if you give birth on a ranch and then murder your baby will a corpse drop be guaranteed?

'I' for advanced interaction, then 'a' to pull it out.

I asked this same question many a moon ago.

It seems very dwarven to use the hell itself as a garbage disposal. I can just see this isolated pile of goblin clothing, rotten food, and chunks of animals sitting there in a featureless plain, slowly cooking in the heat as demons pick at it.

Alright, sorry if the following question is extremely noobish beyond belief, but...
How exactly do you effectively combat enemies with a bow and arrow?
Whenever I fire a projectile, it misses, then the world flashes by without giving me a chance to react, and the next thing I know, I just got rushed and stabbed three times and I die, all from trying to fire just 1 shot.
I am incredibly new to Adventurer mode. I've tried playing with close-range skills and wanted to try a character who specialized in bows, but I guess I have no idea what I'm doing, otherwise I wouldn't die instantly :P

Move from cover to cover to get close enough

Invest in a shield and lots of skill and you can block the arrow

Zig zagging might help but might not

Wait  behind trees until he shoots and rush him after he fires. You may need to have some meat shields/decoys for this.

since you wanted to know about shooting and not about being shot:

practice.
Unless you are very good, shooting takes a long time. Be happy when used against you, since it's quite powerfull.
Get some meat shields with you. That means checking available companions for what armor they have. If they don't have a helm, shield and breastplate they're not going to last long.

By the way, for drinking. If you scroll down far enough, you'll see blood spatters and such on your body, you can drink those too, but be carfeull you don't drink vampire blood unless you want to become one. If you dip in a murky pool or river, you can drink it "off your body" even though you can't drink it directly from the pool. If you find a bucket of your own, you can use it to carry 10 extra water with you.

Can you remove a campfire?

Also is there any way of increasing the amount of stat points you allocate when creating a char?

And lastly can you increase the time it takes for you to get hungry/thirsty?

1. I don't know.
2. Choose Hero or Demigod.
3. Don't think so.

You have to choose a target, the weapon will then be used. You might hit, you might not.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

I mean for example aim to the head, or to the legs, like the melee system, it's possible?

I ment is there a way to increase the amount of points you are able to allocate at each step. For example give Demigods 200 skill points.

From the wiki:

Ranged Attacks
To attack with a ranged weapon press the f key and select the square where you want to attack. Similarly use the t key to throw any random object in the same manner. Random objects appear to make a random attack if they happen to have more than one possible type.Verify For example, if you throw a sword it may hit with a blunt impact, a stabbing impact, or a slicing impact. Throwing crossbow bolts with sufficient throwing skill and strength seems to have an affect similar to firing them, although less powerful.
It is not possible to aim for specific body parts with ranged or thrown attacks.
