As far as they're both bleak fantasy universes where you're afraid to become attached to any given character due to the possibility that they'll die horribly at any given moment, DF certainly resembles GoT in that regard.

I fail to see what relevance Toady being a GoT fan has on the future of DF.
That said, I guess there aren't really that many concrete rules as to what you can or can't ask in this thread so I'm probably just being a stick-in-the-mud.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How to learn Dwarf Fortress
« on: April 14, 2019, 02:18:02 pm »I think the reputation of DF having a steep learning curve is misleading, repelling people who'd like it and attracting people who find it to be a waste of their time. It's not a matter of it being brutally hard, but rather having so many features that it takes years to master them all (if you bother with some of them at all), and the sheer volume is daunting to a beginner, as you don't know what's important, somewhat important, interesting to you, and completely optional to your play style.
Yeah that's a better way to describe it, I'll admit my post was misleading. It's not that any one thing is particularly hard to learn, just that there's so many different features.

Honestly I've been playing for over two years now and I still feel like a noob who's barely mastered the basics of the game (if even those). All part of the fun, though. DF is certainly one of the only video games I haven't gotten bored of after at most several weeks of play, and I feel like the difficulty curve and trial-and-error gameplay are a large part of that.

Yeah the "supernatural villains" thing caught my attention as well. Can't wait to hear what that's about.

DF Suggestions / Re: Allow Pre-Orders On Steam

I think a pre-order option will come up as the release date gets closer, thing is the game is still a year away.

DF Suggestions / Re: Always Werewolf when werebeast types set to 1.
« on: April 08, 2019, 02:57:58 pm »Generic myth... But the generic myth in my country involves werewolves jumping on travelers at night to get a free piggyback ride. And in african countries there's no wolves, so they have werecougars.
Hate to nitpick, but Africa doesn't have cougars either.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Where all the Necros at?
« on: April 03, 2019, 01:07:44 pm »Gandalf has a big ol' beard and he's functionally immortal and does unknown magicks, and also is immune to death. He can even read.
He some kind o' necro.
By the term as DF understands it, I'd say Gandalf is more of a necro than Sauron (you know, the guy who has "The Necromancer" as one of his aliases).

Toady has also always been rather squeamish about directly encouraging the depraved fantasies of fans, just look at the mermaid farming debacle for an example.
