I'm going back to playing dwarf fortress after two versions of enhancements and I wanted to know how to play now with the new stuff, but I'm too lazy to look it up so I started this thread for you guys to explain to me, thanks imps.

I like the ASCII graphics but I don't like that the dwarves are insanely retarded and people back that and bad gameplay decisions as being some kind of visionary genius. Peace.

Dwarf fortress is good and I'm glad some imps agree. Jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt bauxite.

Scalding Coffee posted:Any mouse support yet or are we still living in the 80s? Yeah. It works pretty good actually. Honestly I like DF it's just frustrating that the dwarves are coded so poorly and it's hard to get good feedback on why something isn't happening. Someone made a way to hack it so you can see multiple Z-levels at once so that's good.

Dwarf Fortress is the only game that can support up to four types of grass per tile. Please respect dwarf fortress.

Dwarf Fortress is a really fun game if you can overlook how aggressively poo poo the entire loving interface is. The only way this game could possibly be more user-unfriendly is if Toady himself punched you in the face every time you have the nerve to look at the screen.

Get this: Dwarf Fortress, but also Watch_Dogs. The most emergent game?

Bastion did not have any emergent gameplay, and this is messed up to me.

There also wasn't any emergent gameplay in Transistor... because its head never emerged from its own rear end ha ha ha.

There's no game here. It's a weird simulator where it's really easy to cheat, and if you try to have fun with it that mostly boils down to choosing to engage with some system in the game that can be safely ignored. Almost all of those systems are really tedious and don't do more than let you watch numbers go up.

In one of my first games I read that a big goblin army attacks your fort at a set time so I got pretty epicly pumped cause nothing ever loving happens in dwarf fortress and set out to build like, defenses and poo poo. anyway I built a big sealed off tower and slapped a bunch of bolders and catapults on it, built a couple bigass drawbridges and then made lots of places for my crossbow dwarfs to shoot from. then the goblins attacked and their leader fell down a hole and slowly bled out and his frog drowned and all his friend sjust kinda hung out there for like a year. kinda sucked

"Ugh, nothing ever happens, in this game with emergent gameplay. There's no way I could just not be utilizing the infinite toolset of emergent gameplay to make things happen, such as a great Let's Play, or some cool stories for the motherfucking I Killed British Griefing Thread in Games."

When the game was more rigid, there was more to it since there's always something worth worrying about. But now the most effective thing is mostly just the simplest solution to a given problem, and it's one of those games that it's more fun to hear a couple slightly embellished stories from a severely brain damaged individual than actually play anymore.

It's also something that it's sort of fun to generate a world and see what kind of history it creates with the World Viewer thing but it's easy to remember that there's no real craftsmanship in what your seeing and essentially everybody generates the same crap you did, in most ways. So your better off just hearing what someone else says about it I guess.

on dwarf fortress Ideally you'd like to just sit in bed under the covers imagining a fantasy dwarf land and their everyday struggles for hours on end, like when you were a child, but you can't overcome the small niggling voice inside screaming, "You suck! Your a fail human being! Forever alone! Do something with life!" unless you first hypnotize yourself with 1989 era green-on-black CRT graphics.
