I've tried to get into DF twice.
But the wiki, documentation, and videos are woefully insufficient to overcome the burden of trail and error.
Dont get me wrong, I like adversity, I like having shit blow up in my face at the beginning of games cause I'm a newb. That's what drives me forward in very complex games (xcom on insane, for example).
But with DF, its not the challange, or skill level, or even any kind of game-skill learning curve, its the retarded clunky fucking UI that's the problem. Keep the ASCII graphics, ok, sure. But revise the fucking menu system, cause it seems like a VCR manual writer came up with the damn menu system...and Ill be damned if ANYONE has laid out a good menu map for DF yet.
Nerds just can't write/communicate well. Sadly, that's the only beast that has mastered this heavily tarnished (read: unpolished) game.

That's because Minecraft is about 100000000 times more playable.

i havent played this shit in over a year i forget even how to do it but here goes nothing..
Any no one will care about minecraft when they finally make one that has decent graphics.
collapsed my whole fortress once, was making caverns I found bigger then the whole placed drop on top of my poor little miner.Adventure mode?
Adventure Mode!
Took me a few tries, still not sure how to equip the looted clothes.
Day 1: Woke up in a strange Human town. Talked with one of the locals and was told that they've been having some trouble with a nearby bandit, Lasiv Fanutamun.
On my way out of town I picked up some chert rocks and sharpened them.
Afternoon: Ran into Lasiv and his crony. Dispatched both by sneaking up to them in this bad weather and pelting them with sharpened chert until unconscious, then strangulation until dead. On my way back to town, proud owner of a new steel battle axe and iron crossbow.
Late Afternoon: On my way back was ambushed by a pair of lunatics screaming something about the "Visions of Organization." Two on one could have spelled the end of me were it not for a friendly nearby Giraffe which kicked one of them in the head and tore apart his brain. I managed to dispatch the other using my new steel axe.
Night: Still not back in town, I can hear things out there, cackling. Going to have to be extra quiet if I'm to make it back to town safely.
Midnight: Found my way back and snuck into a farmer's house, I was fast asleep when he woke me up demanding to know what I was doing there. Luckily Ecsha Vicubugi, the Human Cheese Maker turned out to be the charitable sort and allowed me to stay the night.
