Dead lover, ooooooookay than!
« on: November 11, 2011, 05:47:34 pm »
I was looking at my only living miner (the other you'll hear about in a moment) and noticed she has a lover, so I zoom to said lover and what do I find? a dead dwarf, my other miner(killed by zombie deer).
Do dwarves hold their relationship tags after death or... shudders

I'm surprised you can zoom to the dead dwarf - usually, once the lover (or sibling, parent, friend, etc.) dies, you lose that option.

But yeah, that dwarf will still show up as a lover in that dwarf's relationship panel. Forever. As far as I can tell, dwarves mate for life.

Yes, dwarves will never remarry/love. "Till death to us part"? ELVES! DWARVEN LOVE IS ETERNAL!

Oh, ok. Yeah, that button still works. It won't show a physical description of that dwarf (usually just "His/her upper body is gone"), but you can always see their preferences, relationships, and thoughts at the moment of death.

Nope, everything is still here, he has even complained of a draft recently.

But that would imply dwarves are obsessive! Absurd!

Oh wait...

Now if only they were also compulsive ... then we wouldn't have so many idling away in the meeting hall instead of getting your bloody work done, ye slackers!  * cough * erm ... excuse me.

Having obsessive compulsive dwarves would be terrible. They already waste enough time cleaning toxic substances off the walls in the nude or rearranging their cabinets full of clothes they refuse to wear!

But yeah, most dwarves don't have any sort of love life, and those that do usually have it, or their own lives, end abruptly, and refuse to seek new lovers. Married and engaged, or parent/child dwarves are 5-10 times more likely to be killed in random, non-snatcher-related accidents than anyone else from my experience, not including being killed by their loved ones. Not really surprised that dwarves refuse to surrender their virginity with statistics like that...

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
