with the upcoming addition of taverns and the recent addition of both sexual preferences and lust propensity what are your thoughts on one of worlds oldest professions, prostitution? as taverns and bars where being used as makeshift brothels for centuries and some evidence's that temples to fertility goddesses had sacred prostitution as far back as 1800BCE.

Very old quote from a thread on this subject:

Speaking of cheap tricks, were people turned off because Ultima (7?) had prostitutes?  Ultima 7p2 had a nude lesbian scene.  That kind of thing doesn't bother me.  I'm not sure what I think about dwarven prostitutes though, or even dwarven marriage.  Both genders seem like a bunch of heavy drinking workaholics, though they do share beds with their spouses (and their pets).  The dwarves I'm portraying aren't "slightly stupid" in a general sense, as they are very talented artisans and engineers -- this mechanical/crafting bent pulls them away from the common man analogy.  They are also emotionally unbalanced and strangely attracted to lava flows, though.

From that it sounds like he has no particular problem with it, so it could be added.

[Cruxador]

I think since then, though, Toady has become more conscious of potential scandal. He did remove crass words from the game's dictionaries, for example. And even there, he's thinking it's not a thing for dwarves which would make it unlikely in dwarven taverns.

Is there any plan to fix some of the issues of egg-laying civilizations? plz. for kobolds.

Other species than dwarves can run taverns, though, especially with multi species forts...

"Obok's Gentleman's Club" may be shunned by most dwarves, but less scrupulous peoples may avail of it.

He was planning on doing proper Kobold sites back when he was doing elf, gob, and dwarf sites, I imagine some egg problems will be be a part of that whenever he gets back to it.

Ummm.. darwen brothels... we could finally find use for the name Urist McDaddy

the potential scandal is a non-issue in my mind, the game grand theft auto V has off screen prostitution and has sold over 34 million units and made take 2 interactive over 1 billion in revenue, this is in spite of the "Hot Coffee Mod" scandal of a previous game, its like they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I mean even the game dragon age had a scene where the player could engage in prostitution with two nugs no less. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Nug

Very old quote from a thread on this subject

The main reason it came to mind is because of the Lust Propensity value, I've had dwarves with a very high lust value and it just made me think of adultery, cuckoldry and prostitution and while the first two aren't relevant to the current dev ark prostitution is relevant for taverns and temples.

I feel the same. But the game is Toady's livelihood, we can hardly fault him for being inclined towards caution.

Never mind. It's not worth it.
-end edit-

The prostitute question's been answered by Footkerchief, and like nearly every feature-creep inducing suggestion-disguised-as-a-question, the answer is most probably going to be "Maybe later, maybe not, no specific timeline on that." if Toady addresses it at all. Any further discussion is pointless here, and belongs in suggestions.

Dwarven nude lesbian scenes ... Sounds interesting. Of course just from pure scientific point of view. ;-)

... Let's just agree to disagree there.

Anyway, with multiracial forts coming into play for the next release, will it be possible to define multiracial entities as well?

With the possibility of multiracial entities being added in the near future,will it be possible to have interracial marriages between 2 different races and maybe some sort of hybridization as well?(half-elves and half-goblins?)

[Urist Tilaturist]

It depends if the races are the same species or not. Given how different they are in biology (dwarves do not need vitamin D from the sun, can navigate underground, have no size dimorphism between sexes, and feel no ill effects from alcohol), this seems very unlikely.

[Knight Otu]

That's assuming real-world biology. Fantasy stories tend to have different ideas about biology than our universe (or at least our planet) does, sometimes including half-races. But it almost certainly won't be happening in the near future releases. Well, the marriages might happen within the start scenario framework, I guess.

How are things looking regarding save compatibility? I'm guessing it's at least tricky to inject the new stuff into existing saves.
