The Living Dead... Guts?
« on: May 12, 2012, 01:49:24 pm »

I have learned something horrifying and badass at the same time. I'm not sure if it's from their guts being spilled or being animate after they died and the guts were spilled, but it actually happens. I was wondering what those tildes were and I 'l'ooked at them to see...

Toady has all the bases covered when it comes to zombies.

I'd imagine it acts like a bundle of snakes.

New stuff: guts can be reanimated from bodies. I spilled a tanner's guts and when I raised him his guts came back to life and he started dragging them around.

Reminds me of Peter Jackson's Braindead.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

I was actually a bit disappointed when I realized you couldn't actually strangle someone with their own guts.

Well, we could put two and two together and write a book: "The Shit that Hans and Max Did: You Won't Believe This Shit."
He's fucking with us.

Strangling your victim with it's own guts is a future goal of Toady's. It's coming. Eventually.

I haven't checked since I'm not doing bugs until after the release (well, I'm doing bugs, in the additive sense).

Can't you wield guts and then attempt to grapple with them or was that changed in an older update?

It's entirely possible in adventure mode. Just get a large contact area edged weapon, slash the lower body, cut off the guts, grab the guts, grab their throat with said guts, place a choke hold on their throat with the guts and begin strangling.

Dwarf Fortress: probably the only game where "I'm going to strangle you with your own guts and wear you as a hat!" is not an empty threat.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Don't forget the tried and true:
> Cut off an enemy's limb of your choosing
> Pick it up
> Hit 'em to death with it while saying "Stop hitting Yourself! Stop hitting Yourself!"
