Right, time to register and post.
So, orientation is a problem. I can see that (no pun intended) as I have the same problems sometimes and I have pretty much 20/20 vision...so for me it's more of a failing at DF than just of sight.
How does using the hotkeys affect your gameplay? The F1 key is set to bring you to the spot of embark. Will this throw you off the scent, so to speak?
Perhaps, if you don't already use the "zoom here" markers, it may be a step towards getting ideas on orientation arrangement.
Armok knows I still fail A LOT, and I've been trying to be Dwarf since a few years back.
