My entire map is covered in pools of horrid muck and my dwarfs bones have blisters on them.

All is well.

Tried out adventure mode first. First quest given to me: "This bloodsucking fiend has killed four hundred sixteen in her lust for murder."

O.O

I was on a quest to kill a vampire. A random pike-wielding asshole one-shotted me through my copper helm.

Oh, nice!

So anyway, aspiring adventurer Itharr Fanuramkal heard many tales of the horrible monsters, half man, half beast that roamed the surrounding lands, who could be harmed only by weapons of bronze. (Seriously, bronze seems to be the equivalent of silver in this world. :P) Hailing from a tiny little town far from the big smoke, she decided to travel to the nearby fortress of Uthranecar, where she recruited some soldiers for the long trek to the capital, where she hoped to buy a new sword of bronze.
The hammerwoman Ontha Mizbogole warned her:
"The Round Plain is a day's travel to the northwest. Savage beasts call it their home. Kangaroo men roam freely out there."
That made my day. :D

Edit: Okay, soon after she left the fort, they were ambushed by bandits, known as the Occult Armories. Her and her companions were all brutally slain, although she fought valiantly, slaying one and chasing off another, all whilst grievously wounded.
...Next adventurer! :D

I want to wait for some of the big bugs to get fixed and utilities to get upgraded first, but I might dl it anyway and play with adventurer mode.

fired up fortress mode, despite no hack or therapist.

Units screen so much better:
dwarfs - tame animals - wild animals - dead/missing
all seperated.
The comment at the dead missing nearly made me spray cola on the screen.
"noone has gone missing or died."
"The year is still young."

so positive

Genning a medium world. I'm at year 176 and it's really really slowed down. I'm waiting for it to crash any moment...

Edit: I'm at 216 now. Tried to stop worldgen while I was ahead and it won't let me...

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Holy shit, I just made my first foray into a big city. :o Good Lord, it is madness! So much stuff! So much shouting! So many historical figures! :D It is awesome... Now, how the hell am I supposed to find a vampire in here? Seriously, the guy's supposed to be somewhere right in the heart of town, near the keep. :-\ Lacking the ability to ask after him, I might go check the sewers instead. Apparently there are enemy fish folk down there!

I hope Toady fixed crystal glass and dwarves unable to wear clothes bug. Also I will see how much faster (or slower) the game became.
Goddamn, I wasn't THAT happy in a month.
