started playing dwarf fortress a week ago only game i'll ever need, it really just Dwarfs the new Sims game, Medieval would be just about half a game not hard at all never punishs the player harshly for misstake (dammn it a donkey starved to death) guess i'll stop playing df for a bit. i thought sims medieval would have been better then what it is but then again its better in some areas i thought that they would be bad in well that you can send people to there death but the Master Builder and the Aid don't like to die or the pit monster is grossed out from them. while playing as a wizard i thought i would cast spells on someone to kill them about 8 hours of castings harmful spells on my victum i gave up, to make that worse he just stood around letting me abuse him.
only when i played dwarf fortress for the first time this is gonna be ages to learn everything, i should have played it years ago not sure why i didn't and forgot why i went ahead and did just now. then back to the point Sims Medieval is a failure to be an RPG seen as the Quest is the only thing you can do then when you run out of quest points you finish the Ambition its rather easy to get platinum. nothing gameplay wise ever changes for each kingdom ambition only the goal and the amount of Quest points i'm sure its enough for addicts of sim games i just see it as pretty pointless after a while nothing to gain from finishiing them apart from the Achivemet points to level up your watcher level that allows you new cloths and stuff, each or most levels that you gain.
quiet a waste of my 89 dollars and when its $50 bucks online but since of regenail piceing and restictions i get ripped off.
Dwarf fortress offers an insane amount of content much better then sims, though some people will hate the learning curve and the graphics but i like the text font now had a graphics pack on for about a day it started to get annoying seeing that the female dwarfs would share the same graphics as the male dwarfs which was rather uncomfiting and the Yaks kind of looked like a half shark creature seeing as i was a bit zoomed out to see it well enough.
Still got awful lot to learn though i know quit a bit its still things like Zones took a few days to find that plenty of animals died inside till that was found, main issue now is understanding getting metal fast enough and making a small army as well as good gear...
I have only played the fortress side tried the Adventure for about 5 minutes, going to get back to that when i have leant everything about the fortress side of things but seeing the wounds and ingurys that can happen had a dwarf kid that was only 4 years hold lost one of his arms... was looking around on the wikia and found that for making creatures that you had to attach all its parts such as each eye... wouldn't want to lose something in adventure mode like that, dwarf fortress only really lacks a few things such as magic not sure when they might be adding that mainly for adventure and monsters seeing as dwarves can't use magic shouldn't be an issue for the fortress fun but then again they got to fix sieges so people can't wall off the map.
loseing is the funniest part when this place was pretty screwed since i was being sieged and a dwarf went berzerk i just flooded the place so everyone was screwed even the traders since i made the depot part of a dam the dwarf killed the most since the flooding was taking ages..
