I'm just curious where 'Armok' will figure in procedural generated creation myths etc. Will the game mention the name and will that name be a constant in all generated worlds?

[therahedwig]

It won't, Armok is just a name for a god in the original game, and the reference in the title is just that, a reference.

It wouldn't be the first game where the "ultimate god" is never mentioned in-context

[KittyTac]

Completely disregarded.

Toady has never stated anything specific regarding "Armok."  It is basically just a legacy fixture of the title.

Many in the community have come to consider the player to be Armok in the role of a meta-diety who creates and destroys worlds.

Hope it stays that way too.
Nothing more pointless than creating a generator to produce completely unique fantasy worlds of any type, oh but, every single one is ruled by a slavemaster blood god and the not at all unique baggage that brings with it.

My god, I've never thought of it this way. And I've destroyed so many...

My god

That would be you, Armok :-)

I'm ok with the "Armok" concept as an interpretation of the player (at least those who prefer play the game a certain way), but I'm thankful that it's exclusively fanon beyond the reference in the title. Making it an official feature would essentially railroad the generator into creating exclusively dark and gritty worlds if taken to its logical conclusion, and who wants that in a game that advertises itself as a totally open-ended mythology generator?

It might make a good April Fool's mod to have a world generator mod that just makes everything blood. Blood people forming blood civilizations and blood religions, crafting blood weapons to pierce blood armour to make blood opponents bleed to death from their blood walls. Have blood Dwarves dig with blood picks through blood arteries too deep, spilling blood everywhere

This belongs in the terrible suggestion thread.
