Default Re: Dwarf Fortress

I love Dwarf Fortress but the UI is an absolute nightmare. I am used to it now but I still have to look things up sometimes.

Also, the game is not actually ASCII characters, those are rendered graphics that look like ASCII characters. That is part of the reason for the slow down on low end machines.


But as SnallTrippin said, the game is extremely fun once you learn how to play it. I am trying to learn to play the theme song on guitar. <3 Dwarf Fortress!

Oh yeah btw, Boatmurdered is hilarious. I suggest anyone read it even if you don't like Dwarf Fortress!
