« on: November 05, 2010, 08:38:29 pm »

Hermit Adventurer? Should be part of the thing where we are supposed to get our own forts and hide outs, like if we act as a bandit. That way you can rest safely while being hidden away from the world.

Not even close, it's one of the long reaching goals of the game. Toady has them posted somewhere,

The dev blog mentioned NPC bandit hideouts, but nothing about you being able to make ones.

As for when, maybe he'll get around to expanding non-goblin, non-kobolds NCP thieves in the Caravan arc.

Eventually we would be able to mine whole complexes, and sell the ores and rocks to other towns, perhaps buy some slaves or hire some work hands to help you.

Sounds a bit like minecraft.

No, it mentioned that you will be able to: Make your own homes, dig, even build a castle if you have the balls (and time) and many other things.

In fact, you will be able to only dig soil and pull boulders from the soil. Nothing like fortress mode digging.

You can't go on elven genocide in minecraft, and you can't see the world in 3d in dwarf fortress.
Big differences.

You can't kill a dragon by throwing pebbles at it, then use the dragon as a weapon by swinging it around by the tail(I assume) or tossing it at people in minecraft.

There used to be a time that the term adventurer was not synonymous with maniac, but it seems so long ago now...

And even longer ago the term wasn't synonymous with Kelptomaniac, but those days are LONG gone.

Yes, this was what I meant. You can dig, but nothing hard enough to require a pick. And you can make stuff, but only out of rocks and logs.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of killing people by using their own vomit as a projectile.
