Do you have any specific profession in mind? With the farmer option I'd say you can be a cowboy, if that's on your mind. ;)

Can't wait until I can be a guard for a traveling merchant. Even better if they own a ship.

But being able to play as a nomadic rancher would be cool.

Reminds me of URW where you can and many times will do just that. It is fun and handy to have several cabins so that you can travel further in winter and have a place to rest and store some stuff. And it is equally fun to just roam around, hunt, and have no place to call home.

Personally, I'd love to be a whaler.

The biggest one on that list I would like to see, bar none, is actually Sailor, because that would mean that there would be the inclusion of sailing to the game, which I think would be absolutely awesome.

I'd say that both can be fun. I only wonder how navigation will be done - particularly about celestial navigation - will there be procedurally generated stars, planets, and moons to use for navigation? That could be very immersive.

No votes for a clerk? Glory to Arstotzka would work well in DF.

Pirate & nautical roles take my vote.

Fighting the captain/captains to wrestle control of a ship, similarly to town ownership in a mutiny with some like minded friends sounds like a lark, grapple and throw the captain overboard to the sharks. Or be caught in a naval battle and climb over the ship (naturally i assume larger class of ship) with H holding and grappling to maneuver, putting your carpentry skills to good use in applying relevant repairs.

Though im also very taken with being a independent bannerlord and assembling a military force through strong connections and enlisting folk in the towns to join my own army entity (taking in the stride of the mount and blade franchise)

How? These two have VERY different settings.

I mean you probably can be a customs officer if those are implemented, and calculate how much merchants have to pay, but that doesn't seem fun at all. It will be very tedious.

That sounds like a good description of Papers, Please. I guess lots games could be thought of as tedious – any game that involves doing a small set of simple tasks over-and-over. Calculating customs fees doesn't sound very adventurous, but being a traveling tax collector might.

In Papers please you have to check documents for discrepancies and do so fast - that works well as a logic game of quick memorising things. Being a customs officer requires counting goods, checking laws or taxation tables, without any time limit which would be hard to justify - while I do think that some might find it interesting and being very simple to do, we could get this profession eventually.

Being a travelling tax collector would be fun - there are many things that can happen on the way when you are carrying quite a lot of money, local peasants could get very upset so that you'd have to do your best to pacify them, your ruler might get angry if you collect too little, and you might just want to take a piece for yourself. That does sound like fun.
