Hit 'q' to sheathe/draw weapons/shield. Then you have your hands full when you try to pick them up. You can also place another container inside the backpack and that'll accept items even if the backpack won't. Good way to organize stuff, too.

Also: Minimum skills required to be able to read and write? How do you pray?

It seems that literally just novice reader is enough to not only read, but write. You'll need to obtain blank writing materials though. And if your character started off worshiping a diety, it'll be an option when you first hit the tal"k" key. You can apparently also gain new dieties to pray to through chatting with priests, but not sure how that works.

"Hey idiots, someone hacked my account to call you all idiots! Wasn't me you idiots!" seems to stretch credulity a bit.

Really? Are you sure it works at all? I'm not able to pray as an outsider, but maybe I can pick my own gods.

That's because you started as an outsider. And seeing as forces and pantheons are tied to entities, AKA civilizations... :V

Yeah, I thought I already implied that. My question was 1) whether it's possible to acquire one at all and 2) whether it's possible for an outsider to. As an outsider, I can acquire poetry/music/dance forms, so why not a religion?

Doh. Like I said, if you find a temple you can apparently talk to a priest about it, but I've yet to test that. Go forth and commit !!SCIENCE!! for me. <3

I've read talk about getting citizenship by requesting it. I know I can get it automatically by retiring somewhere, but is there someone with the dialog option to petition for it?

Is there any point to money after you are equipped with good armor and weapons? I can't think of anything to want or need for.

Buying booze? Though you can trade the mugs back to resolve your tavern debt. :V

Money doesn't even get you decent armor and weapons anyway, so that's not even a point to it. They're good for souvenirs of where you've been, and looking at them satisfies the "Admire art" need.

How do I settle debts? I have more than enough money to give the guy, but for whatever reason he won't accept my money. He just keeps stating "I'm confused, did you want something?". Whether I try to select settle debts or offer currency doesn't make a difference.

Edit: Nvm, figured out that the guy wouldn't accept money. I had to go buy some earrings worth the same amount as my debt from the local marketplace, and then I was able to use that settle the debt.

IIRC, they are pretty good as throwing weapons.

I complete Quests (or Rumors, as they are apparently called now[?]) by using the "Bring up specific event or rumor" to people in civilizations right? I wasn't sure if I'm doing it right, since my events don't disappear from the list, and it's full of 8 pages of inconsequential stuff revolving around animal attacks and such, so finding the actual important stuff is difficult.

And do I need to say, specifically bring up the death of the Bandit's/Vermin's leader to complete a quest, or does my fame go up for every report of each individual Bandit's death?

The best way to measure fame is to talk to a barkeep. The prices they give you will tell you how everyone thinks of you. If you get free room and booze, then you must be doing something right.
