FPS issues is what eventually killed dwarf fortress for me. If you want to do anything interesting be prepared to watch the game slow to a crawl. That and construction of anything being a nightmare as your dwarfs will get stuck in every conceivable way trying to build even a simple wall more than a meter high. That said, I have spent hundreds of hours on the game with some great stories to tell so overall I can't complain too much.
