SMTDR Dwarf Fortress

Jun 28, 2010 10:19

So, my friend got me into this weird game called Dwarf Fortress. The idea is you have a colony of dwarves that come in to a new land with some supplies and animals that you can choose before embarking. You dig into the mountainside and create a mine, your very own Dwarf Fortress. I'm sure there are lots of other ways to play, but I haven't gotten over the hilarity of a fortress yet.

There's one thing I am certain of: all the dwarves will die or go insane, somehow. Then the insane ones will kill the sane ones. With that in mind, it's great fun seeing the rise and fall of your dwarves, so I decided to name the dwarves after SMTDR characters. I can't think of a lot names off the top of my head, so if you'd like your character included just tell me in the comments.
TL;DR: Here is a funny game with some SMTDR characters names used. They get up to crazy shenanigans!
  • The DR Dwarves arrive in Lakotnakuth and set up camp. 
  • Once they (Thanatos, at this point) start mining, it becomes clear that the mountain is filled with all types of valuable stone. We hit the jackpot, thank God. All the supplies will help calm the dwarves when they start going crazy.
  • So, everybody takes different positions as nobles while gathering plants and trees and leaving Thanatos to mine all on his lonesome.
  • Mitsuru becomes the Expedition Leader, Bookeeper and Broker. Thanatos is the Militia Commander. Hiroki is the Militia Captain. Izanami is the Sheriff, and Izumi is the Manager. Kanami is the Chief Medical Dwarf. All of them have their own bedrooms seperated by walls, unlike the common dwarves who sleep in a big dorm.
  • At some point the DR Fortress is looking pretty good, with plenty of resources to go around. This is when the migrants start arriving, and I start struggling for more names.
  • They quickly set up a farm. And by them, I mean CrzyNato does it all by himself. This is how it is until we get migrants,but the upside is that some become experts in their field!
  • Akihiko is a talented Furnace Operator, Izanami is for some reason a REALLY good Weaponsmith. Metatron is a GRAND MASTER CARPENTER, and the game routinely tells me he has made a 'masterpiece' when he is simply making barrels.
  • Naoto is an accomplished Weaponsmith. I've just realised Red!Nato does nothing! Lazy bastard! Thanatos and Chie are Legendary Miners, and Shinjiro is just behind them as an adept Miner. He's also a pretty good Brewer, that damn alcoholic.
  • Shura loves her some Butchery, and Small Animal Dissection. She is one vicious bitch, I tell you.
  • A lot of dwarves don't have any real talent because they just haul shit around. They still make themselves heard in other ways, though.
  • Hypnos descends into a melancholic mood, meaning he is soon either going to die from starving himself/depression, or he'll go beserk and start killing everyone. So far he's only gone as far as 'withdrawing from society'. I laughed.
  • From past experience, I made sure the DR brought plenty of livestock to kill and plenty of war dogs/hunting dogs. Unfortunately they all mated like...well, animals. Especially the dogs. So much so that the number of puppies slowed the game! I had to cull them, and the DR Dwarves decided to eat them. It seems to make them happy, the monsters.
  • The kittens escape Shura's wrath by adopting Rise and Nanako as their owners. It was A LOT of kittens.
  • The puppy, donkey and horse meat takes up most of the barrels. So much that they can't brew beer! The DR Dwarves need 3 Carpenters working non-stop on barrels before they can finally start brewing alcohol.
  • Winter comes, and freezes the water supply. Thanatos enters something called a 'fey' mood, and claims a Stone Masons workshop as his own. He then makes a wonderful artifact: Kenteshkad Kefashakam (yes they name their artifacts). It's a shale bed, encrusted with shale and encircled with bands of shale and magnetite.
  • Thanatos is satisfied and decides not to go crazy.
  • Chie is inspired though, and also enters a 'fey' modd, whatever the hell that is. She also creates an artifact! Roberogred "WipeSwamps". It's a bituminous coal weapon rack, encircled with bands of bituminous coal and horse bone.
  • Chie decides not to go crazy! I don't know what Hypnos is doing, except slowly going crazy.
  • Despite the alcohol, Nanako dies of thirst! Her kittens now run wild.
We end with a lovely snowstorm, and an influx of more migrants attracted by our sanity and puppy slaughter. Unfortunately I don't know enough names for DR Characters! Some are already in there and just haven't done anything of interest yet. For example, Loki seems to like taking care of the animals. For some reason that satisfies him.
