I have put together a full Roadmap for DF. Read the file for details.

Combat Style Changes: Reworked magic, melee, armor, and staves into specialization-based systems with long-term mastery, distinct playstyles, and durability-driven gear relevance.

Macro Systems Overhaul: Structured world around Chaos–Conquest–Racial triad with cities, outposts, sieges, markets, and dynamic political conflict shaping territory and economy.

Micro Systems Overhaul: Expanded gathering, crafting, mounts, and dynamic spawns/loot to support diverse roles (PvE, trade, exploration) and a living economy.

Retention & QoL: Improved UI, inventory, quests, and environmental gameplay to reduce friction while preserving depth and player-driven experience.
