Dropshock:
tilesets, guys
learn to get them. check the df forums
Jacob/Lee:
If you play the game with a tileset first, learn how to not starve in the first year, not get stomped by your first ambush, not lose the entire fort to a tantrum spiral, the game's standard ASCII comes on easily, since you know what you're doing and the hard part is finding out what everything is.
I haven't used a tileset in months, and probably never will.
IkeTheGeneric:
The only problem I ever had with the game is motivating myself to play it
Other than that I never had any problem picking up on the game, but I studied it for weeks with the wiki
