Years ago I saw someone describe Dwarf Fortress as "more like reading a book than watching a movie". That is to say that you're given the information in a minimal, symbolic way and then the heavy lifting in creating the mental image is done by your imagination.
Fwiw, I did try using various graphical tilesets over the years but went back to the old-school glyphs (or rather the unicode setup that lets you run the game in a normal terminal).
