2x2? 3x3 Being decadent? Man my dorfs must live like kings in theyr 5X5 rooms. heck my nobles get 7x7.
Well you only really need three floor tiles, so yeah. And consider that a tile is around a few meters on a side, think about how big that is compared to your own bedroom in real life.

My dwarves live in 3x1 bedroom with masterwork engravings, bed, cabinet and chests... The noble though all live in the same 11x11 room. That's not cruelty I think, they are always ecstatic and provided with enough work they dont tantrum spiral over anyone's death(except that time with the friggin vampire)

First, green your questions... Second, dwarves are more coherent and productive while they're drunk, and Toady One hasn't mentioned anything special relating to conversation, so I'd say no.

Toady, will the walls of fortresses be engraved, smoothed, rough, or will it depend on certain factors and wind up being a mix of the three at times?

Seriously? 3x3 is "decadent"? In my forts 3x3 is the smallest type of room, usually dedicated to some workshops, temporary accommodation, and some barracks. Most dwarves get a 5x5 bedroom, sometimes with multiple rooms.

I give 2x3 rooms to the basest level of accommadation. Once I start being able to house people decadently, I set up a pretty consistent level of 4 12-square rooms for bedrooms, dining, and office for the higher-ups, plus a room connected to the quarters designated as a "meeting area". Commoners get a 3x3 bedroom, a 2x3 dining room, and a 3x3-3x4 common room.

In my forts everyone gets 5x5 rooms in the main dorm section, and the nobles get 7x7 or 9x9 rooms off to the side.

My dwarves get 20x20 bedrooms. They do have to share that bedroom with almost 200 other dwarves, but they don't seem to mind.

Well hey, if there's 200 masterwork beds in the room, it MUST be a great place to stay!

I go with the 2x2 or 3x3 set-up... though my first seven get 5x5 and my nobles get really big rooms.

I usually go for 2x3. My nobles are very much set apart from the rest of the population, usually getting 5x7 to 7x9.

edit:

This, largely, but I do 11x11, simply because it's fastest... >.> shift + arrow key.

I use 2x2 for "special" dwarves (those that got my attention for a feat for example), 3x3 for nobles (with 3x3 dining rooms and offices if required) and 1x3 for the unwashed masses.
