3d. There is nothing like throwing my prisoners from a 30 z level tower into a magma pit as sacrifice to Armok.

This!

2d has danger which the 3d honestly is lacking in while 3d is more of a sandbox where you can go all out and build almost anything.

I just played (lost) my first 2D game (23a).  I found that in many ways it just plays like a different game.  There's definite pro's and con's to each of the games.

When playing 2D, I fmissed how compact you can make a fort using z-levels.  I missed the fact that you could build traps, bridges, etc. outside.  (That restriction seemed arbitrary to me.)  I really, really missed the ability to dump and forbid items.  That is something that I don't think I can live without!

However, I loved the fact that plants don't grow in winter.  I like the idea of the annual (really, quarterly) flooding of the underground river.  I really enjoyed the 7X7 (minus one) limitation that cause cave-ins.  Those are the three big features from 2D that I wish was in 3D.

Overall, I like 3D more, but 2D seems more challenging.
