    The werewolves up in the trees shouting down at passersby to repent is a pretty great image

    If they’re not telling you in the patch notes it’s probably because there is so much code churn that to retroactively document every fixed bug would amount to too much work.

    That being said: if you have good git commit messages and pr bodies this process is very much automatic (at least ton GitHub) releases can have a bunch of notes from the merged prs automatically such as “PR #3964 Fixed thing at place when condition”.

    My favourite ever Crusader Kings patch note was “Intelligent women no longer confront their pregnant lesbian lover to ask if they are the father of that child. Stupid women however, still have a chance to ask that question.”

      I really liked the one that said they had resolved late game lag caused by Greek characters constantly evaluating whether or not to castrate everyone

    This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like

    Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacing
    Mechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.

    You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: “Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it’s crazy” Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

      Even the amount of pre-written stuff for Crusader Kings is insane.

      I once got seduced and murdered by my own sister as revenge for murdering my brothers to inherit their kingdoms. The funny part was that the “getting seduced by my sister” part was apparently a scripted event based on actual history. And that’s just one example.

        That sounds like the north Iberia start, with the 3 brothers each with their own kingdoms and the intrigue sister.

      I’ve started Dward Fortress a bunch of times but I always feel like I’m messing something up and want to restart - never managed to play long enough to lose on it.

        So I play both Rimworld and DF pretty often and I always tell people to play Rimworld first. Get used to the type of game itself and then step up to the big boy that is DF.

        Both are very much worth your time, and I figure it’s a good introduction without being overwhelmed.
