Straight graphical tilesets, the way that they're handled now, seem like a disservice to the game.  If I could mix and match games into a Frankensteinian game of doom, I think it would be fun to put IVAN's graphics into Dwarf Fortress.  IVAN is kind of demented--it's a roguelike that was designed from the ground up with graphics in mind.  And while I absolutely can't stand the gameplay (more dangerous than DF or Nethack), it's a lot of fun seeing your sword is covered in blood and slime, and you're leaving blood trails on the ground.  DF could have a lot to gain from that sort of development...but on the other hand, it could mean less tiles on the screen.

OTOH, maybe I'm just showing my upbringing here, but I find ASCII to make more sense than graphics.  Less effort for my brain to parse?  Dunno.  And of course nothing beats imagination.  Meh.  In the end, no opinion.

yep, IVAN's gfx style would be perfect for DF.
