I decided it was time to shift gears to adventure mode so that the last remaining dwarfy bits can grow up with the adventure bits that need to be finished, and so adventure mode doesn't creep up badly on us as we try to get this release completed. The main push in adventure mode is going to be toward making taverns and inns lively, though I'm starting with some work on character generation to accommodate artistic knowledge and the new needs system. This involves allowing you to select your personality, with the resulting needs being clearly shown -- there aren't that many yet, especially as it applies to adventure mode, but it'll continue to become more interesting. You'll also be able to see and reroll your physical appearance before you start playing. As in dwarf mode, keeping your needs satisfied gives you modest overall benefits, and it takes them a while to drain, so it's fun for roleplaying without being too onerous a burden.

No more ugly adventurers! No more having to bodyswap because another dwarf has a better beard than you! Extra personality for adventurers! I eagerly await this update!

Why would you want to do anything besides get smashed in inns and start brawls once this update comes? Obviously you wouldn't.

It makes me glad I never tried to write a script to pull up and let you edit hairstyles and features, because I thought about it.

Next up, hard drinking in adv mode taverns.

You're going to be able to do that too!

This will be amazing! See you in a year i guess?

[TheFlame52]

Actually, the next version should be coming out in the next month or so.

Nice... I've been using gui/gm-editor with DFHack to change personality and appearance before, but it never had a real effect so this will add a lot of life to adventure mode. Will only need to use dfhack to have children now.

Would love it. (mainly inn brawls )
But it would be cool if adventurer could be afraid of something or have a mania.

[heyomif]

Is personality and and appearance customization like this in the game now?

First of all, great job necrobumping.

Second of all, personality creation is and the ability to reroll adventurer appearance is.

You mean they DON'T have manias?
