Not gonna lie, this is my favorite format for Dwarf Fortress videos/recaps; not only is it a great way to condense dozens of streaming hours into a coherent whole (sorta like highlight compilations but more story-focused), it shows off why DF is still the best story-generating game ever by creating a entire narrative based on odd/goofy things in the game. It really does feel like there aren't enough DF playthrough compilations like this and the GodlyTombs video, and it's honestly a great way to bring new players into this otherwise-overwhelming game. Thanks for making these even if it's a ton of work, this turrned out amazing once again!

I like it when you stitch together your sessions of playing the game and telling the story in the most candid form possible. This is amazing. The thing I notice what you do compared to other people who attempt to do this kind of content, is you actually know the ins and outs of how to achieve nearly anything you want, while I see other people embellish or try to craft a narrative around the game that isn't actually happening. You do it, and it's amazing watching every step of the way.
@BlindiRL2 ай бұрын
I feel that dwarf fortress is fantasy madlibs with a game play element. Personally I like the fact that people can get enjoyment out of embellishing a story together. Sometimes I see people simply withholding details as kruggs or hoodie hair often do. I think what you might be encountering is people seeing dwarf fortress as and end but miss the means. They see content like this and try and produce it without the base knowlage of how to get the most out of the game. I suppose my advantage is I have been playing this game for thousands of hours so its not even something I need to think about.. I just see through the matrix.

I am also glad I watched till the very last second, that Paramount opening you did is hilarious.
