Been looking into getting into DF but it all seems intimidating and lacking polish. Is it worth the effort? I know people love it, but learning curve is kind of annoying. If you had to compare it to a similar game, which one would it be?

The Steam version is great, but still fairly intricate. (not complicated, but there is a lot going on) also get DFHack, it automates a lot of the confusing stuff). Definitely worth the effort IMO, I am having a lot of fun with it. For example, I was besieged by goblins last night, and after a big fight one of my dwarves killed their leader, and we won the day. My champion was praised in song and engravings, and we made a platinum statue in his likeness, that was displayed in the entrance to the fort. A few weeks later the Duke of Paperprice (the name of my fort) threw a tantrum because his mandated goods was delivered late, and in his rage he killed our hero. One of the dwarven kids had to carry his mangled body down to the Atomsmasher. Ah well, that's dorfs for you.

Have you looked at the Steam version yet?

Only causally reading about it. Didn't purchase the game yet. Graphically it's much better, which is why I was drawn to the idea of getting in the first place. Am not much of a fan of ascii art in games.
