DWARF FORTRESS
est:
I tried playing it without reading the manual, but I just couldn't get it. Now that I am reading the "Your First Outpost" thinger on their website things are making a lot more sense. I've already found out why my fish were rotting and found that I can gather plants for food if they are edible. I have tried my hand at farming in the first game, but in the second game everything was granite so I couldn't farm. Tonight I'm gonna give it another shot.
Still haven't read up on why my craftsman couldn't make furniture, but I'm still in the middle of reading.
edit: also I think it helps if you discard any romantic notions you might have about it being a fun game about Dwarfs and realise that it is a remarkably intricate failure simulator.

I really like the game. I don't know. I used to stay up pretty late playing it.
And, yeah, you do need a butcher and whatnot to eat the fish and other animals.
But yeah. I had a blast playing and only skimmed the manual. But I am weird.
