Qud is... good if you can ignore the occasional dangerhair edgy in it. I like its mechanics and depth. The graphics are regrettable; they could've at least had an improved tileset like several that exist for Dwarf Fortress, but it's not a dealbreaker to me.

Is Qud still worth playing at all? I've had stretches where I'd get into it and dig it, but the horse-people village where the theme is "fuck you, dad, fuck you, skydaddy!" always puts me off and I can't help but feel there will be even more of that the more I play.

I really can't recommend it, many of the mechanics to me feel like they're just slapped onto the game to hide the fact that most of the game's potential (which was very appealing initially) has been squandered by lazy tranny furfags. We have a CoQ thread actually but it's dead, make of that what you will. Doesn't help that the game tries its damnest to not want you to play it, you will die immediately and often, if I wanted to be violently obliterated at the start of a game I'd go play IVAN or Path of Achra. Those games are at least fun once you get the general idea on how to play well.
Most of the mechanics feel like busywork and barely fleshed out, the story and worldbuilding is mediocre, the world gen is eh outside of the actually dev made places, it's a hodgepodge of various other ideas from better (and arguably worse) Roguelikes while trying to make itself unique and barely succeeding.
The success of that game feels fake, it has barely anything going for it other than lots of tranny degeneracy in the community (and other madness in-game that doesn't help) and getting Sseth to review it (which as many SS13 players know will bring a horde of people to check your shit out). The fact that is has a Switch port makes me think it's being astroturfed.

The game itself is fine, the devs added a few they/thems later in the development.

The real meat is in their discord, and it's (for lack of a better term) the concentrated essence of tumblr:

Yes, it's hub of plural systems (untreated cases of schizophrenia). Pluralkit is a discord bot that helps people determine which of the voices in your head they're addressing:

In short, people who claim they hear voices in their head and sometimes they take the proverbial wheel. This is of course a gender-identity after one of them doubtlessly woke up with a bleeding backside and found out his other voice was gay and started cruising.

Listen man, i just collect and assess the facts, i joined the 'cord before they did the papers-please routine and only use it to trawl for patchnotes and laugh at the wildlife.

Even the devs had their fair set of retardisms. Putting aside the shit that happened after his video (some of it actually being fucked up, like sending CSAM to his family & friends despite the fact people won't give a singular shit about Caves of Qud without the very existence of his review on the game, followed by more faggotry, leading to an utter chimpout, later leading even more stuff about them later coming out due to people actually going full-autismo & essentially finding dirt on them (the biggest one being that the (female) writer of the game is an ardent supporter of a (female) gamergate lolcow who also happened to be a child predator, who she defended by saying was it was a "gamergate hit job" on her).

As for the devs, the biggest expose was that one of the devs (not the main ones, just one of the guys they brought in later & worked with them for years) was a convicted pedophile. The actual devs damage controlled by saying he was actually a contractor (who just happened to worked with them for years & was even mentioned in the Press Kit (until he wasn't later). His name is Matthew Sheahan, he did QA, Additional Design, & Additional Programming, just compare both the credits you'll see my point.

The main devs themselves are pretty fucking retarded (they actually claimed at the time that they did a background check on Sheahan too, funnily enough), but they lack the sheer cuntish behavior that literally all the people they chose to make the game with them have. They're annoying, but not outright evil.

Funny thing is, he was apparently caught thanks to a Discord bot made on this site.

Yeah it's a pretty good roguelike that's relatively distinct in having a consistent overworld/actual story and interesting power curve where you can really exploit the mechanical depth to break it in a lot more ways than usual. Sorta like late-game dark souls catharsis where you eat shit in the beginning like usual and don't mind being overpowered at the end because you had to work for it and ended up doing it in some way that's unique to your character. Not that getting strong doesn't happen in others, but in this it's probably because you supercharged some obscure combination of artefacts you found that leverages your particular set of body mods/mutations and undertook a whole career as a trader or treasure hunter or something, rather than lucking onto a scroll of wishing and getting the thing everybody always gets.
It's a nice change of pace if you're a seasoned roguelike player; not something that you'll keep coming back to since you'll probably beat it on your third character and after that all the fixed elements work against it, but until that point it's an interesting RL/open-world mashup with elements you don't usually see.

I dunno what you're talking about with the horse people, it was all incomprehensible Dune shit to me. I couldn't care less about the devs or fans.

iirc there's some centaur village in the Lah area north(?) of Joppa, and the scenario is framed like a "whodunnit" and I remember the main characters involved being insufferable reddit types with a sort of "fuck you, dad!" energy. I think one was a lesbian they/them and that just turned me off the questing.

Golgotha was cool once I managed it the first time though. Awesome music and had me legitimately worried every step (slip) of the way.
 
Oh yeah, I remember that town. It was one of the last places I visited after circling the map in the other direction so I couldn't really be fucked reading what seemed like low-stakes early-game stuff. I think I solved the mystery by either murdering or brainwashing everyone into giving me their quest rewards.

is it bad that my standards are so low that I'm relieved they went with the "it's nawt troo" defense rather than just yes chudding the pedophilia?
