DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How do you properly mentor someone starting out?
« on: August 02, 2009, 02:11:25 pm »
Hello DF forum. I showed Dwarf Fortress to my bro a while back and he said it looked way too confusing to get into. Which is pretty much the truth. But recently he said that he might give it a shot, it's just that I don't know how best to teach him. I thought about showing him Captnduck's video tutorials, that's how I learned, but I don't think he would be too keen on having to watch hours worth of videos just to play a silly game. Maybe reading people's guides where you kind of play with them and learn? Tell him that any time he's confused, just ask the wiki?
The problem is that I think if something happens and I do it wrong, he'll never give it another chance, and that would suck. What do you guys think is the best way to teach him how to play?
