This is nifty: aside from the thing where your retired adventurer makes trophies of his kills (which you can sell upon resume for great justice), when resuming with a retired adventurer, she or he will be dressed in clothing appropriate to the civ you retired in. I retired an adventurer in a face veil wearing society (dig deeper) and when I resumed, she was wearing one, along with a cape that was apparently made out of a shark.

That's awesome.
I only wish men dident always appear in dresses...

There is nothing more manly than a dress, damn it. :D

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

CLOTHING IS CULTURAL IN DF

No, the game would call it a Kilt if it were a kilt...

And in that case, explain the short skirts.

No kidding.  The idea that "men just plain don't wear dresses" is very much an artifact of post-medieval European culture.

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

In dwarf mode:

Dead dwarves who are buried have one possesion listed: their grave.

Not if their spouse is still surviving. then they are often still listed as co-owners of their spouses stuff. Also: anything still in their tomb, if they have an actual tomb, is still listed as under their posession. Possible ramafications for the inevitable Necromancy development?

Can dead dorfs still vote in elections?

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Kinda reminds me of an old Far Side of a western scene with all the men wearing dresses, and one of them is telling the sheriff (who also wears a dress) that a bandit wearing a certain chiffon has returned.

I can't find the comic online to show what I mean.

I don't think they're smuggling plump helmets and cave wheat under those kilts. :shudder:

You're aware dwarves don't even reach 5 feet right? If the 'kilts' get any shorter, they're going to end up three legged.

Actually we don't know how tall Dwarves are, all we know is that they're 1 size category smaller than Humans, who are 1 size category smaller than Elves.
