Yes, that is literally the entire point of this next release

[Tawa]

Oh, lol. There was so much stuff about climbing going on here that I thought that might be the next release's big thing.

[Putnam]

Climbing was a necessary addition with the re-adding of elf sites which were necessary with the addition of in-play insurrections which were necessary so that stuff could continue to happen in the world during play which is necessary for the player to actually affect the world in meaningful ways that have historical impact.

Seriously, throw something new in this release at me and I can trace back its meaning to that.

Proper tree grow-- Oh. Elf sites.

[Tawa]

Oh, alrighty then...

The dev page talks about "adventurer roles" like "thief" or "treasure hunter". Under the "thief" subsection is a sub-sub section about inns and taverns. Toady mentioned a lot of stuff about inns and taverns in the recent devlogs;

To what extent will inns/taverns be implemented, and what for?

There was an entire episode of DF Talk focusing on taverns.  It's planned to become a major part of Fortress Mode gameplay.

We have fake-ish taverns in the next release right?

OK I take everything back, the first thing I do in the new version is going to be walking into a tavern and punching someone.  Just to see what happens.

No fake taverns for Fort Mode.

I call bar brawl! A loyalty cascade, as some people didn't like who you punched and others did, so it results in a seething mass of limbs. Much !!Fun!! had by all!

[Tawa]

Hahaha. Enigmatic Hat, I shall follow in thy footsteps.

Nah, no loyalty cascade. Bar brawls are totally intended behavior, so I doubt they'll be too buggy.

Yeah the meadhalls are a combination townhall/tavern kind of thing. Toady One even has worldgen adventurers doing tavern runs. I don't know if we should just outright call them taverns or if they aren't true taverns just yet,

[Toady One]

(they are fake taverns because I haven't done anything with drinking or ordering drinks or food or staying in rooms)

[Lolfail0009]

So they're just quest-in-a-boxes?

[Dutchling]

No drinking? Sad taverns seems like a better name than fake taverns :c
