interactions! That's the best part.

Oh, and the town rewrite is wonderful. I like the idea of not having to dope around the wilderness looking for my quest target.

What interactions? I never know where to look for info on upcoming releases...

It's because you, like most of us, don't play adventure mode, unless you need to reclaim your abandoned fortress with your immortal deity godlike adventurer.
This update isn't going to come anytime soon, to answer your question. Stick around!

While I play mostly Dwarf Mode and would sooner like to see bug fixes than drastic feature additions, building and digging in Adventure mode would be extremely nice.

Seriously, I'd prefer Toady to stop making new features for a while and concentrate on bug fixes. Several annoying ones have been there for over a year now.
Given his stated goals, and how much stuff is placeholder or unimplemented yet, I've got to say I think I prefer the way he does it.  Major update, followed by a number of mini-bugsmashing updates.

Though, I'm hoping the large-pot and "soap making eats the entire barrel of lye" issues are sorted in the next update.  Though, I'm sure you've got worse bugs in mind.

It's gonna be adventurer love to the max!

I have put fun sounds into Genesis mod's adventuring, eg.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and it's fun to hear raptors chittering behind some trees, before you see them.

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Given that we have no choice really, I think I should be quite content as well. To be fair, he is working hard on a free game.

I'll whine more once I have donated. Then I'll feel entitled to.

!!VAMPIRE EXPERIMENTS!!
What happens when a vampire bites a forgotten beast with deadly blood? Could a corpse of such a beast be thrown into a vampiric food hall and used to poison the residents?

Historical figure vampires:

"So lets see who came with that migrant wave... Adil Alathlenod... Stukos Confinedcudgels... Ber Inodmeb... Urist McDwarf... Risen Bouldermirrors... Wait, wait, wait... Risen Bouldermirrors? That name is on the list! He is a vampire! Magma chamber, here we come!"

Or

"Hmm, immigrants. Let's see their ages.
57
75
46
23
5
768
...
Magma, please."

its even easier. you just have to see who sparkles in the sunlight.

He will do that after the release. That's how it works. A feature release, then a bugfix one. This isn't that new, this will be the second iteration of that cycle.
