[Derpy Dev]

So like many people, Undertale has ruined traditional roguelikes for me. So how about this idea: the ability to convince anything that can speak to not attack you? That way, horribly descriptive methods of mass goblin murder is not the only way to win.

Next release you can claim to be on their side before they attack. Then just play as a bard. Done.

Need festivals to come into the real world out of worldgen for an endgame but basically it's all there.

--edit
In case you were taking about Fortress mode, negotiating your way out of sieges is in the next release too. And death sliders in the release after (no death-loads o' death).

I need to read the patch notes more often...

Thanks!

You can already ask enemies to yield and, should the fight not have escalated to no-quarter lethal, they will renege (or, indeed, you can yield with "y").

Drawing your great axe, flexing your muscles and shouting 'yield, or face my wrath!' isn't exactly what I'd call a 'pacifist' approach.

Using "y" you can yield yourself.

Using "y" you can yield yourself.

So your suggestion for a 'pacifist run' is to walk into a dark fortress, then yield? Well, you'll achieve the 'run' bit anyhow, as you'll need to run like hell or die right after yielding.

Just wait until the next version. Or play as a bard somewhere safe.

Stealth, climbing, sprinting as a thief.

Problem here is that DF doesn't have a set endgame, so the idea of"runs" is kinda odd. There's some pacifist stuff you can do, but its definitely unfinished compared to combat.
