Dwarf Fortress HATES me.
« on: November 23, 2007, 12:23:00 am »

So I noticed there is a new bugfix version. Great! I deleted my old world to have a fresh slate, set up the new version of DF, generated a world. Things are looking good! This ought to be fun, I think.

Start an adventurer, leave town, go into the nearby Dark Fortress...

Yes, that's my whole announcement log. New world, new adventurer, the first fight I get into and look what happens.

My view distance was one square in every direction after that! Goblin children could kill me with ROCKS.

Edit: Oh, creepy. It must be psychological but now my right eye hurts like hell. Just incase I'm staying away from the water...

Well actually you can be killed with a sock even if you have both eyes so I wouldn't worry about it.  Anyway dying frequently in adventure mode is part of the game.

Oh, sure. I've died a GREAT many times, I assure you! But losing my eye from the first attack (to/from anyone) on a BRAND new world is just... ouch. I'd never lost an eye before without already being as good as dead.

I can imagine some adventurer(read medieval hobo) with nothing left to wear walk at the setting sun while the wind is blowing.
Then he walks straight into a city wall and stumbles around until he tries to sneak into the town, but is noticed by a guard.
He tries to punch the guard and escape, but instead he gets his eye slashed out.
