New "Divine" - Force(s)
« on: December 21, 2015, 11:21:35 am »
I think this might be new? I found this while browsing legends.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Regardless of whether it's new or not, I have a few questions

1) Who worships this "force of nature?" The elves? Anyone in the world?
2) Most likely not, but does this force have any temples or sites dedicated to it?

It's really cool that there's forces that permeate entire regions now.

Not new, just the elven version of gods.
Pretty sure I've read about folks encountering them wandering about the region they are associated with in adventure mode, but I'm not sure if they get any temples or site of worship.

Elves have worshipped "forces" associated to nature for a long while.

Though not exactly new, there has been renewed interest in the Force lately.

Wait. We can encounter forces? Was this added in the 2015 release?

Never seen that before either. Pics/reference?

Can you find a quote of who said they found one? I'm skeptical but hopeful at the same time.

GODDAMNNIT. I made a search for the post and I can now confirm that I TOTALLY MISREMEMBERED. Search for Talde/ my encounter with a false god if still interested.

Apologies to all for getting your hopes up. I blame my bad memory and lack of sleep.

the only deity one of my character encountered that wasn't a demon fooling their worshippers was back in 34.11 :
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=51245.msg5324979#msg5324979

Didn't encountered a single one in df2014, and didn't encountered a single demon in disguise either (as all demons i saw were in dark fortresses).
Are deities or impersonated ones still in gameplay in 40.x / 42.x ?

Wait what?? I never saw that in the previous version!...I always forget to check the 'what's going on in your adventures' thread...shouldn't a find like that deserve it's own thread? Haha

Did you fight it? Talk to it?

*edit: and do you think this might still exist?

I was trying to "roleplay" a good natured guy, so attacking that creature wasn't possible in my game there.
Unfortunately i don't have the save anymore for 34.11, but it was not a mod so i guess if it happened once (never observed that again) it can still happen in that game version.

Though i think the spoiler impersonating a deity should be a lot more common (i got several cases in 34.11).
