Probably, "AUGH MY FACE THE PAIN"

[PTTG??]

Be nice if we get names based on the spheres of the body parts, so that a giant (large) hairy (Beast, Cold) flying (Air, Speed) worm (Underground, Decay) might be Enourmousfang, the Rot-winds of Freezecave

In fact, that would be very very nice.

I think it'd be nice to have said random creatures be generated through worldgen aswell. It'd feel more authentical then just go into cave, suddenly never seen before armorphous ball of vomit spawns.

This is what the Titans are now; randomly generated aboveground creatures.

Also...

How will the randomly generated creatures be named? Will it be the description (Furry Flatworm with Wings) or just "Mysterious Creature"?

This stuff may be a spoiler that Toady doesn't want to well... spoil. Still, it's a legit question.

[Dante]

I kinda hope he doesn't, because I both want to find out the stuff myself, and also have no impulse control when it comes to spoilers.

A system like that could very well work. I could see some amusing results from that.

i saw that toady might drop the vomit spawn, when i saw the vomit spawn i thought: 'that's cool, it is like D&D jellies, but without the effort put into creating a creature that doesn't deserve to be thought up'  basically like a 'what the fuck' sort of thing, which i think is good for a fantasy setting, as long as they have the whole jelly abilities type stuff where they try and envelop a creature for digestion, and it is not easy to kill since is just jelly (well vomit in this case).  i can see it getting removed until he puts in the ground work to properly do something like this though.  but yeah something that is totally off the wall of what one expects is quite good, and a vomit jelly is just that.

I think he'd have to take it out e'en then just because acid damage doesn't exist yet. *cough*

I thought he didn't add that in quite yet especially since it is sphere related. Something he hasn't got up yet.

Say, Toady, in which version do you expect to be doing an update for adventure mode? I really want to have my adventurer spend time fishing and gathering near shelters built all around the world.

Also, with all the combat updates, does this mean an entirely new combat system will be made, and arrows/bolts won't be as deadly anymore?

Version 1

The "Adventurer skills arc" is a version 1 arc.

Also your answer is yes though Combat will truely be updated in the "Combat Arc"

Ah, alright. Seems I'll have a long, long time to wait.

Also might adventurers be able to claim abandoned forts as shelters eventually?

Not too long. Version 1 is everything from 0 to 1

might adventurers be able to claim abandoned forts as shelters eventually?

I wouldn't see why not. They technically are supposed to be able to make log cabins in the woods and use those as well.

Adventurer Skills Preliminaries

    * I: Ways to obtain food while traveling (hunt/gather) (part of Core84)
    * II.A: Processing of corpses for more than meat (part of Core86)
    * II.B.1: Ability to chop down trees and dig (part of Core85)
    * II.B.2: Way to build shelter/home and ability to save it as a permanent site (part of Core85)

From Dev_Next. A really thorough update probably isn't coming for a long time but allowing adventurers to do what dwarves can do seems to be one of the less far-off things, if still many updates away.

Toady,

Spoiler: this stuff should be spoilered right? (click to show/hide)

will we be able to export these random monsters/creatures into a raw file?
So for example while we are adventuring we encounter a beast that we really like... could we go to the legends screen and export it into a file... in raw format so we can maybe tweek it to reproduce or something and have it as a monster for a mod?

I second this.
