Dwarves and D-fortresses in other games
« on: August 13, 2007, 06:19:00 pm »

I saw a guy had made his fortress in Half-Life 2 or sumfink. That was really cool. So I'm making a thread, where you can post your dwarves in other games.

To get started, here is a picture from Neverwinter Nights, a D&D-based RPG. I will later post a story here, depicting an immigrants arrival to the fortress I made in the NN toolset.

The screenshot shows the greatest elephantslayer ever to be made using the aurora toolset (I'm pretty sure about that) fighting the greatest of elephants. Enjoy!

Nice.

I actually haven't thought of making my fortress in another game...  Maybe when 3D stuff comes out, I'll make it in the NWN2 toolset.  Then I can have several levels of glorious dwarf-dom!

We just need elephant models, now.  Hm...

somehow i think it would have more impact if the dwarf was fighting a large 3-d rendered grey letter E.

maybe someone should replace the NWN models with 3D letters.

Now comes the first chapter in the epic saga of Dwarf Fortress Nights!

I, Kol Talinlikot of The House Ber is arriving to a cold wasteland fortress. Upon arriving, this is the sight that greets me:  

   

It seems only one dwarf survived the battle:
   
 
 

Allright.. so this is my new home. it seems they prefer to live deep in the mountain.
   

Through the mountain runs an underground river. The bridge is not exactly the stuff of legends.
   

Behind this metall door, a long passageway will take me deep into the mountain. I hope I meet somebody there.

If someone was doing that, then it would have to be based around Boatsmurdered.

I'd play it.

lol boatmurdered. You'd have to survive the elephant/goblin gauntlet only to be consumed by either the lava, starvation, or fire.

Emm the dwarf says the caravan was killed by ice wolves yet I see arrows in the dead humans.... o.O wolves with bows!!!!

Hmmm maybe I should make my fort in WC3. Just need to find a good gorilla model to use.

No, the caravan was killed by wolves, so the humans invaded.

"Dungeon keeper" greatly resembles Dwarf Fortress in basic gameplay, but it's nowhere near as complex and has more of a focus on combat.

The heroes use Dwarves to mine, incidentally.
