I made a post here like 6-7 months ago, basically putting down dwarves in general. Because I didn't see them as exciting. My reasons were that they didn't seem to have any skills that were flashy and interesting to watch. But, now after casual play of my dwarf I have found some excitement in getting her up in lvl.
I found that getting her crafting lvl increased it has given me some excitment, and now I am really getting geared up for some increased crafting. SO yeah I am converted..
