"There have been a few articles that highlight the difficulty of the game but that is only in comparison to modern console games targeted at soda guzzling teens with a one second attention span"
No. Your assertion is that the only likely improvement to the UI would be a simple gamepad-mashing interface. DF is difficult even compared to programs with a complicated UI and games with a "normal" steep learning curve. Not wanting to battle through an insane UI does not equate one to a "soda guzzling teen".
- fleshgolem 13y agoCompletely agree. Dwarf Therapist kinda shows how you can improve the UI without dumbing the game in itself down
- boomlinde 13y agoNo, his assertion wasn't that the only likely improvement to the UI would be a simple gamepad-mashing interface. And nowhere was is implied that not wanting to battle through an insane UI does not equate one to a "soda guzzling teen".
- smacktoward 13y agoSeriously. I play and love the grand strategy games Paradox Interactive makes (Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria, etc.), and those are some pretty complicated, hard-to-get-into games. And yet even I look at Dwarf Fortress and think "man, that's impossible."
