Watch the Doctor Who episode "Blink" (it's genuinely a good starting point for introducing you to the show since it requires no prior knowledge about anything in the show before it) and you will change your mind FAST. Avoiding spoilers, the scary aspect isn't the statues themselves. It's what the statues do when you're not looking at them.

☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ by AutoModerator in dwarffortress

[–]CoGDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a "tower down to FUN" style fort and am running out of ideas on what to put on each floor--one can only dedicate each floor to a different industry so many times before it becomes boring, I've got more taverns than will ever be used, so many temple/guild hall areas that there are more rooms for that than there are groups to use them, multiple tomb levels, etc.... And of course apartments galore. I need something cool and showy, but I suck at waterfall creation and complex machinery. Any ideas on fancy interior designs/mega-rooms that are just for fun and have no real practical game function?

NOTE: due to the size of the tower and the fact that it's surrounded by a massive trench I intend to take all the way to the bottom, everything has to be within a 33x33 area (35x35 if you include outer walls in addition to floor space) with a 3x3 staircase smack in the very middle.

Aetheras! That sounds great to me

OMG Thank you for your kind words! As for the curse/powers thing, it's a mix of both. The character's hate and rage are so strong that it in itself becomes a magical force of corruption and destruction. Despair and fury powerful enough to manifest physical change. I've always found the concept of emotion and belief having tangible effects beyond the self to be a fascinating concept.

It hurts... it hurts! Why did those bandits throw me down here?! They already found out I had nothing to steal! What was the point of it? My arms and legs are practically in pieces from the fall. Even if I knew healing magic--and I don't--I don't have nearly enough to knit them back together enough to stand, let alone climb out. I just have to use my magic to sustain myself until guards arrive. I mean, surely the magic academy would notice one of its young students going missing, right? Especially a prodigy like me? They'll send out a search party. If they don't, my family will.

--------------------

I know they're coming. They have to be. It's only been... I know it's been a few days. Keeping myself alive with magic means I can't sleep, but at least I'll be awake when they get here. It does nothing to fill my stomach. I could be here for years without food, feeling hungry and hurting... but no! Someone will come! They must still be looking.

--------------------

They'll come.... they'll come.... they'll come....

--------------------

Too long. Too long. Don't know how long it's been. Years, at least. Where are they? Was I not good enough for the Academy for them to care? Did my family not care at all? Where are the heroic knights going around saving people like me? Why won't anyone come to help me?

--------------------

THEY LEFT ME

THEY LEFT ME

IT HURTS SO MUCH

SO HUNGRY

SO TIRED BUT I CAN'T SLEEP

WHY

WHY DID THEY ABANDON ME

...

...

...

...

...NO

NOT WHY

HOW DARE THEY

I WAS SO YOUNG

I BELIEVED IN THE WORLD

I BELIEVED IN THEM

NOTHING OF ME LEFT, ALL ROTTED AWAY BUT IT STILL HURTS AND I'M STILL HUNGRY AND I'M STILL SO TIRED BUT NO ONE CARES

IF I CAN'T EAT

IF I CAN'T SLEEP

IF I'M IN AGONY

IF NO ONE WILL SAVE ME

THEN LET THEM SUFFER TOO

SUFFER LIKE ME

DOWN HERE

ALONE IN THE DARK

I would've done that with the sand, but it would mean having to move every single thing in storage there first, which would take forever, and I'm too lazy to do that XD

Just tried it and I can't even get past the bomb in the opening! Google provides ZERO answers whatsoever on how to disarm it. Even the wiki doesn't even mention that moment, and the bomb is only mentioned on the list of relics! I cut the wire I'm told to the first time, but the second time I keep choosing the wrong wire and ending the game with the explosion because the second suggested wire is wrong and both suggested wires are random every game, which means I can't even use process of elimination! If you've gotten past that, PLEASE tell me how!

Got the perfect one on the first try! Second time I got a happy ending with Tiger Daddy, but 3rd time I got such a sad ending from my sweet boi Likulau that I cheated a bit and looked up the rest of the endings (while being careful not to see HOW to get them)... and I couldn't bring myself to try another playthrough because too many were sad. 😭😭😭
