Cows are games where the designer and computer is having fun? God and the laws of physics are having all the fun with cows? ???

Are you people mental?  Yahtzee's entire shtick is based on trashing EVERYTHING, and the current state of DF interface is such utter and completely unplayable he could rant on that for ages alone. 

According to Sid Meiers:

 "We have, amongst our rules of game design, the three categories of games.  There are games where the designer's having all the fun, games where the computer is having all the fun, and games where the player is having all the fun.  And we think we ought to write games where the player is having all the fun."

The fundamental problem with DF is that everything in its development so far is in that first or second category, the designer and computer having all the fun.

You mean you never had fun killing prisoners in gruesome rituals to yourself, flinging !!kittens!! at your enemies, creating impossible architecture the greeks would be envious of, stripping elves of their leather tongs and beating them to death with it?

I do admit DF at the moment lacks alot of features, but the current level of open-endedness is more then enough for a creative player to have a blast while playing it.

One can say that dwarf fortress is hasnt got any features in adventure mode yet, and another can say that you can beat elves to death with their own pants.

I think yahtzee would go under the 2nd category.
