How shit though?

As a game it's not the worst, if you can get it for dirt cheap and wish to burn a few dozen hours, go for it. It's an established piece of Codexian culture after all, that alone should warrant a playthrough imho. Just be prepared for a so-so story, mediocre writing and somewhat bland characters, with a few happy exceptions.


If you just want a good game in the spirit of the old IE games, go with PF: Kingmaker, I can't recommend it enough. There's also a pretty decent turn-based combat mod on the Nexus that works with no hiccups. Although you need to somewhat police yourself, since it allows a couple of illegal actions, like moving after a charge. In case you end up getting it, I also suggest grabbing cheat engine for its speedhack feature.
Installato enhanced edition e suddetto mod una settimana fa. Vivo ormai in uno stato di priapismo, erezione perpetua.

I take back everything I said about Youtube channels being worthless! That Smack Talk guy is a treasure. Shame he doesn't do many videos.

Guy annoyed me off the bat. Game is perfect. Zero need for mods. I've never played the game whatsoever with any stupid ass fan patches or mods, and I've been playing this game since I was 10 years old. Fuck anyone who wants to mess with a perfect game.

Although I've never understood the pleasure in watching another person play a game, I recently stumbled upon this gentleman here, playing dwarf fortress:


https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaifrB5IrvGNPJmPeVOcqBA


The guy does a number of drawings (both on paper and 8-bit art) and customized 8-bit intros consisting of small clips + synth music, to illustrate his playthroughs, which are usually themed around some crazy project like: under/above water forts, full vampire population and river-taming just to name a few. Nothing a DF veteran wouldn't have tried by himself, but since the episodes are rich in illustrations and heavily abridged, they make for a nice 20 minutes show.


Edit: Short forts intro:

Could only watch the first 2 minutes because of his voice, but I agree with him and wish him well.

Rob Ager. He mainly covers movies but occasionally does video game analysis. All meta, make ya think stuff. Smoke a bowl or drink a beer and enjoy.

Been obsessed with Hitman 2 lately and have much enjoyed watching "CJ" play the game. After I do pretty much everything in a level I watch his speedruns of them and they're pretty fun. He gives good commentary and has good strats. Here's my fave, a run through of the whole 2016 game:

Haha, yeah. I loved that part and started to see it as he did... actually bit of a creepy vibe to it. Machines just going in a loop when humanity is long dead. Kinda eerie.
