Noses

Are noses even used to smell things? The wiki states that the [SMELL] token is unused, so unless this behavior is hard-coded to apply to the nose, it's unlikely that noses actually determine whether or not a creature can smell. Someone would need to test this out to make sure. --Urist Mchateselves (talk) 12:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

  • I did one better than that - I searched through a disassembly of the game and found the logic for Miasma thoughts and saw zero checks for loss of smell. I guess somebody just added that bit because they thought it sounded good. --Quietust (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Now only one question remains to be answered: Do noses (or body any body part which is tagged with [SMELL] influence the sense of smell of an adventurer? Unfortunately I'm afraid we'll have to be patient until we can test this, since I'm fairly certain that the smell ability has yet to be added to v50's adventure mode.
