Re: Demanding Pretender.
Maybe if it was an option. It might make the difference between playing and just letting the save collect5 dust, but it could easily be a bad effect. Think about it - you're in a bad position, your Cyclops pretender barely surviving the horde of AI chaff, when suddenly he yells to the world "I want an Eye of Aiming!". Or Bow of Botulf. Or, hey, a Fever Fetish. And woe be unto those who do not do their god's bidding. Though it could be kind of cool, too, if tied to your god (ie, a god who's racked up his kills int where no one else has his level of experience might demand an Arena Tournament held in his honor, with the winner fighting the god).
Besides, demands in Dwarf Fortress are always annoying (or so I've heard). Your nobles might demand an Adamantine guitar and woe be to the soapmaker who refuses his request, regardless of the presence of Adamantine. Besides, if you hit Adamantine, there's no way it's going to be used for useless trinkets.
