Do you have a favorite coding language? Do you approach programming as a fun hobby of solving interesting problems in "hacker" spirit, or are the languages a tool that is chosen based on how effectively it can be utilized?
As you have been working on Dwarf Fortress for over a decade now, are you stumbling upon code that you never remember writing? Have you noticed that your coding skills have improved and found some awful old code that you simply would rather hide in a closet? From what I understand you started working on the game without that much programming experience?
I played an adventurer recently that became a legendary hero in the eyes of about half the world. I was ultimately struck down by some random bandit in a great brawl in the woods. Afterwards, the legends said the bandit simply had one notable kill, and in the current version meeting him would not involve anything else than him saying "I'm the slayer of SirDifferential the Adventurer!". Now that the next version is addressing a lot of this stuff, would the bandit become an important figure in some way? Do other bandits actively seek to join his camp?
