In adventurer mode, will wounds heal after waiting/sleeping for 8~ hours still, or will we be forced/able to visit a doctor for proper treatment?
Currently, the only way to heal certain injuries is to be bitten by a were-beast and wait to transform, and that is a bit too... strange, in my opinion.

About doctor, I think this has been discussed in a former DF talk or a future of the fortress reply. The reply is that "it will be done, but not yet".

some of the bandits will naturally arise as displaced village leaders that wouldn't mind getting back in place

Does this mean that the possibility for peaceful run-ins with bandits will make it in the next release? As in, if you just run into a dispossessed leader bandit, he might not automatically be hostile and instead offer you a quest (presumably to kill the incumbent leader/usurper of his old village)

Sounds like an opportunity for a gang of Merry Men. Archers all

Well, we will finally be able to give archers new arrows when they run out.  Not that I can remember the last time I had an archer run out of arrows before getting mowed down in an ambush.

And speaking of ambushes, with the new equipping allies system our allies will be more likely to survive an ambush, yes?

Is climbing going to be tiring in the first implementation? If so, will the weight you are carrying be taken into consideration?

New version is sounding more badass with every update.

Speaking of activities making you tired, how tiring is running going to be? Realistically, while people in good physical condition can "run" for several hours, it's very hard to sprint at full velocity for a long time. Are we going to see creatures passing out from exaustion from running? It would add a whole new dimention to persuing a target when you have the possibility of beating him in endurance instead of only speed.

Another running question:
One interesting aspect of including "natural" abilities such as climbing and swimming as skills is that they can attach themselves to other core abilities, like strengh and endurance. It makes sense to increase strengh, stamina, etc by training your climbing or swimming skill, although as far as I can tell that doesn't happen right now with non-fighting skills. Is there a reason why running isn't getting the same treatment? It would make sense to have your endurance enhanced as you train your running "skill".  Although I could see how running is something that is much more attached to more general abilities such as strengh and agility rather than a specific skill...

And by the looks of it, it's VERY close at this point, given the length of the last update.

Yeah, probably just a couple months left!

You're making me sad by saying this...

Which one?
I have plenty in rotation. (all of which I try to keep in the same "Obama Hope" aesthetic)

Adventure mode bandits and night creatures and so forth are going to follow actual patrol routes now instead of teleporting to your location to ambush you, right? Are these patrol routes through the wilderness realized all the way down into the gameplay view? Will we be able to sit hidden among the leaves and watch a shadow crone or a goblin squadron make its way through the underbrush, without ever noticing us up there? Have the old travel mode ambushes been replaced by the game pulling you out of fast travel whenever your character observes something interesting (tracks, creatures, etc.) in the surroundings?

It sounds like the local feuds and raids will be great. They provide more playable content for the release, in a way that also helps connect the player with the dynamics of the world. Being able to implement the feature with only a small amount of extra groundwork makes it even better. I'm looking forward to strolling down the main street of some desert town, righting wrongs for A Fistful of Dwarfbucks.

I believe you mean A Fistful of Pigtail-Socks
