I started out playing games on a monochome amber monitor + Hercules graphics. But I still think that going beyond ASCII characters is a nice touch that will make the game easier on the eyes.

That's too bad that it's come to this but perhaps it will bring the game to a wider audience.
- lainga 8y agoThe game really is just the hyper-detailed model. The gameplay is emergent and comes most easily if you know how to spin a good story as you're playing.
- crooked-v 8y agoThe gameplay model is extremely elaborate and compelling, but the UI is wildly inconsistent and vigorously inscrutable, even compared to "every key is a separate command" classics like Nethack.

Lots of stuff just doesn't work, or works weirdly enough that it's better off avoiding it. Becoming a "good" DF player involves a lot of learning how to avoid those landmines. I still love it though! There is nothing like it.
