Until now I’ve avoided almost everything to do with combat so I guess this is my introduction.

    I did say it’s my first playthrough, lol. Thus far my biggest enemy has been myself, and a hungry mysterious vampire.

    I also made this meme before I even attempted to fight, and once I did, was pretty relieved at how easy the fight was. But without any context it’s an intimidating popup.

      There’s fun stuff you can do with that vampire if you ever figure out who it is. They make great slaves because they live forever and don’t need to eat.

      Figuring out who it is can be hard tho. You really have to watch the logs or build in ways that they can’t feed without being witnessed.

      And if you do want them alive, make sure your hammerer just has something weak because if you have the justice system set up, they usually will sentence a vamp to death. Adamantine makes a great non-lethal hammer. It’s so light, blunt weapons become foam bats.

        Yeah, and it’s not helping me interrogate witnesses when the names in the justice tab don’t match the names in the interrogation selector. I think I read there’s an option for that but couldn’t find it easily. The justice bit definitely has me a bit confused. I’m attempting to set guards up near the place it keeps happening in hopes someone will see something. Not sure if that’s the play, or if I should just try to outpace the vampire’s hunger and live with it lol.

          You may not actually have the accused in custody to interrogate.

          My understanding of the justice system may also be out of date. I have not put nearly as much time into the Steam version as I have the legacy versions preceding it.

      Df is really hard to get the hang of. Keep at it and let the “fun” commence!
