Okay, from my 30 minutes of playing this game, the closest other game I can compare it to is Valheim. And my familiarity with Valheim is fleeting at best. You fall into Moria and have to run around a randomly generated world, mining and killing **** and building Fortnite platforms. There's crafting and eating and sleeping.
There are a lot of ****** dwarves in the opening, but I've yet to meet other dwarves in-game (which isn't saying much since I've only played for half an hour).
Meet my 100% lore-friendly dwarf straight from one of Tolkien's letters:
A tiny but very annoying thing is the placement of the buttons. Not only is the "Discard" button placed first, but it's automatically highlighted.
I'm not sure if I will continue playing, as I'm not really into these dungeon-delving crafting survival games. But maybe it'll grow on me.
My lore-friendly dwarf.
I've been playing it a bit more, and so far there are no NPCs other than Aric the white Raven.
Game is fun and not as intense as the other survival crafting games (meaning you gotta farm these things before you craft this thing to then craft that one thing you need for the other thing that is also needed to craft the aforementioned thing you need to craft the thing you need.)
Okay, this game is pretty comfy and atmospheric. You can go around cleaning up rubble and rebuilding the ruins. When you mine ore for long enough, your dwarf can start singing and get a buff for mining. You can drink foamy mugs of ale and sing taverns songs. The goblins are sneaking around at night taunting you from the shadows.
The LA-levels of dwarven ethnic makeup is literally the only thing that takes me out of the game, but as @Finarfin said there are no other NPCs so far. All of that is preloaded in the opening movie.

I'll update of-course if there are LA-levels of dwarves, but so far both of us are killing goblins, drinking ale and singing while mining.
Game is also nice because John Rhys-Davies voices Gimli.
you boyz should join up, the only appeal i saw of this game was delvin together with your dwarf ladz
I'm not giving money to people who have progressive brainrot and/or no scruples for taking jew money to pozz their games up.
My recommendation is to pirate this game if you want to play it, or, if you are so very intent on getting together with a dwarven squad, to wait until massive discounts.
I always find it ironic the only ones forcing all this race baiting ******** and screeching about "MUH RACISM" are yuppie white normies who have never once been told "no" or had to face the consequences of their actions.
Is there anything more to this game than the Minecraft reskin but with less freedom that it appears to be on the surface? Wondering if this is even worth the 9GB of diskspace necessary to upload the FitGirl repack to my private archive. Not sure if I'll ever actually play it one way or the other, but Tolkien stuff still continues to tug at my nostalgia neurons regardless of the many disappointments that have continually spawned off from his works since his demise.
