and toady will review his own game saying its totally awesome but wait until the next game that he can't wait to talk about! :O

But enough Molyneaux bashing. Its a shame about Bullfrog but thats life

Back on subject though, you can't hit people with barrels in Fable, but you can train a dog to aid you in DF

lol dwarven witch doctors

Psh. Maybe Goblins call them witch doctors, but dwarves should call them Alchemists. Or Apothecary or something, though that sounds like a good human name for them. Maybe make Druids what elves call healers, to give that position some actual purpose? Would be a nice driver in adventure mode - "Crap, I got poisoned. This is going to slowly eat me away - I gotta find some elves!"

"I'll have to find preliminary answers to some deep questions, like "do the undead have souls?""

My opinion is: no. How could they have souls? It makes no sense at all.

[Neonivek]

WOO!!! Soul System!!! I am glad Toady is finally using such!

As for Undead and Soul (My one and a half cents)

Depend Situations for Zombies with Souls
-Undead created by restless dead have a soul (Freddie is a good example)
-Undead created by willing subjects (Mummies)
-Undead created by placing souls inside a corpse (Frankenstien)
-Undead created by placing "Soul Beings" or Disembodied Beings inside a corpse or who can cause the body to remain animate even after the host body has fallen (Daemonic possession, Dark spirits, ghostly possession)
-Undead created by forcing a subject's soul to be unable to leave its body

As for if Zombies should have souls as a whole

Zombies who are created without any of the above methods could have a false artificial soul that lacks the complexities of a normal soul.

Zombies without even an artificial soul could be possible, but they fall appart without a power source.

So, does does this mean we will be able to flood our chasms with magma again?

That personally didn't make sense to me, I can understand chasms not truely being bottomless, but the amount of magma it takes to fill a Chasm is pretty small. (IMO)

[Tormy]

Now that I was thinking about it a bit more...
Well perhaps some special creatures, like a vampire or necromancer [however necromancers for example are not supposed to be undead at all] should have a soul, but I still find the whole question very weird.
In my opinion zombies/skeletons and such creatures have no soul. In fact, this is why these creatures are being controlled by a superior entity, like a Necromancer, in many fantasy worlds.
So, my conclusion is: let the player decide this [since this is a very subjective thing], thus it should be controllable in the RAWs.

In otherwords Puppet undead! Where they are just puppets on magical strings being help up by a powerful source of magic.

theres a point, is there jellyfish in DF atm? I'm voting here for adding jellyfish with stings in the next version

There are jellyfish, but I don't think they can sting at this point.

I want to create an adventurer who goes around capturing different jellyfish and stacking them in his house

For some strange reason I got the impression you meant he was going to wear a Jellyfish on his head.

Jellyfish armor would be pretty cool!

[Demonic Gophers]

Doesn't seem like it would be all that effective.

Kaptur is a Polish word for hood Maybe that's why?
