Well in many mythologies there are creatures who are otherwise genderless who still chose to associate themselves or whom resemble, artificially, specific genders.

At Fire woman for example, only her "Armor" is actually a tell of her womanhood. It is likely that it doesn't even have a gender.

Can we stop this before politcor idiocy starts and people start to suggest "fireperson" as better name?

[Kidiri]

I spent seven hours in front of a jigsaw puzzle over at my grandmother's house, but I managed to do some more work down below, adding some undead stuffs and other things/fixes.

Oh, is that why the puzzle took so long?

Yeah, horribly bad joke. I know.

[ManaUser]

Ha. Like they haven't done this with all their games Morrowind just didn't have the visual definition or art style to make -anything- sexually appealing whatsoever, so it was fairly downplayed compared to Daggerfall (which was fairly shameless about using it) or Oblivion.

Oddly in Daggerfall atronachs were portrayed more as golems—created creatures—so it would have made perfect sense to give them "interesting" physiques, at least if we assume most wizards are huge perverts (which seems reasonable). Yet it was only after they were merged with the daedra (demons) in later games that they grew tits.

Hey, at least he was dedicated enough to actually use all the paraphernalia of the joke.

Indeed, n(replies) would not be over 9000 until someone answered after him.

This makes me realise, we have Fire Men, Magma Men, and Spirits of Fire already. I wonder how like they are in looks.

Some one check his penis for burns.

You must be thinking of someone else.

Why would you ever link to TV Tropes? There goes an hour of my life that I'll never recover.

The secret to escaping is to not click anything, which is much easier if you only read the header. Touch nothing but the Lamp.

ah, Daggerfall...the other DF.

[Time Kitten]

Of course, in morrowind we are shown the wizards of elder scrolls are very much pervs.  Five female clones of yourself for wives anyone?

Is there any indication of this bug: "001082 □ [dwarf mode][pets]   (Report) tamed feature creatures can become hostile even without having previously attacked dwarves" bieng fixed in the new release? I just got this one with my tamed GCS while I was trying to figure out how to make my silk farm work. I would have reported it, but we are so close to the new release that it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, the 'features' are bieng completely redone.

I'm sure there are some great things in the new version that we could tame which we would hate to have be hit by that bug.

I think my GCS may have gone hostile from killing goblins, which woke up the beast in it.

[Outcast Orange]

Most of me wants to tell you that isn't a bug.

GCS should randomly become violent, because it should be a terrible, terrible idea to try taming them.

"Hey, lets start farming this thing for its sweet funky produce."
"Sure, just ride it down the hallway into that big empty room."
"Come on spider! Come to papa!"

*GRARRRGLRRRRERRR*

"AAAAHHHH!!"

*GRAAAAAAAARRRR!*

"NOOO!" (Blood is now everywhere)

"Ah! I thought it was tamed! Run!"

[smjjames]

Maybe, but the problem was that I couldn't even assign it to a cage or chain or even dump it. Which means that you really can't do anything about it, not even make your military kill it.

I've had it happen many times with feature resident creatures, even if they hadn't killed anything, so its really annoying. Especially when you have like 20+ tamed giant olms and half of them suddendly go hostile.

[Footkerchief]

I would have reported it, but we are so close to the new release that it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, the 'features' are bieng completely redone.

It's just as well you didn't report it.  It's been one of the most frequently reported bugs since the last release:

My guess is that it's been fixed by the underground rewrite, but hey, confirmation wouldn't hurt.

I suspect it's connected to the bug with targeting/attacking unconscious creatures, which seems to only appear with cave creatures:
# 000424 □ [adventure mode][combat]   you can't attack unconscious creatures without a dialogue box appearing first, possibly related to Bug425 
# 000425 □ [dwarf mode][combat]   dwarves refuse to target unconscious creatures, possibly related to Bug424 
Report mentioning giant cave swallow
Another with giant cave swallow
Another mentioning giant bat

[smjjames]

Well, the features have been completely redone, even the magma pools and pipes have been redesigned. However, given that there is going to be even more stuff to tame down there, that bug is going to pop up alot more often if its there.

At least after this release, Toady will have more time to tackle bugs like this.

What part of your code for the upcoming release are you most proud of?

hehe, a snippet of out of context code would be awesome!

Can we stop this before politcor idiocy starts and people start to suggest "fireperson" as better name?

politcor

Jesus.

[Christes]

I'd say "Firehuman" is a better name than fireman.

Then we could also have "firedwarves" and "fireelves" and "firegoblins"
