Well, well worth it. It’s the only game that’s held my attention for over 6 months. My fortress (about a month old) has a giant iron tower made out of the recycled armour of those who dared to trespass. Dwarf fortress is spectacular in that you can really follow your imagination, and build things how you like them.

DF’s learning curve is pretty much perpendicular to the ground, but once you get past that hurdle it can be a lot of fun.

I wish this game had existed when I was a bored teenager, rather than a very busy grown-up.

As far as the text interface goes, its kinda like the matrix. After a while you stop seeing the ascii, and you start seeing a miner, a craftsdwarf, a donkey, a stockpile etc. The learning curve is pretty difficult though. dwarffortresswiki.net has a ton of great info a tutorials to help you get started too.

It is worth it, I am in the DSDC and I’ll help you with any advanced architecture and engineering.

I am currently building a heavy defensive siege line, and don’t even try stealthily sneaking, my dogs will rip your parts off, and get propelled into the lava pit by the Hammer Dwarves.

Well, I took me some time to get into Dwarf fortress, but I had a lot of help from CptnDuck’s tutorials (youtube). I would advise those to players trying to get into DF

I’ve tried 3 times to get into Dwarf Fortress, I’m not man enough to do it. I’ll try it again sometime, I’m sure. Probably only to fail again.

However the game and its promise have always been fascinating to me, its mindblowing how much the game does! Great interview and my apologies to Tarn, I lack the fortitude to get into his game.
