Hidden Fun Stuff redirects here. It can also refer to... well, do you really want us to spoil it for you? It is also used in the dev logs to refer to anything Toady doesn't want us to know about until we find it ourselves.

This page is a list of hidden or unexpected aspects of the game.

Fluctuating Subtitle

When starting up the game, on the title screen where the player first chooses what to do, the top reads:

Slaves to Armok: God of Blood
Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress
Histories of ...

'...' will be generated each time the game is opened. Some combinations include "Histories of Avarice and Resourcefulness" and "Histories of Jealousy and Tenacity."

Dwarven Daydreams

Some dwarves like Toads for their beauty, an obvious inside reference to Toady One.

So What If I'm Dead?

Checking the weather, temperature, or date in Adventure Mode after dying will instead return a snarky message reminding you of your current medical state.

Bey@nd Quality?!

For about one frame, the word "Beyond" in the Bay 12 Games Beyond Quality intro turns into "Bey@nd". Nobody knows why.

Oink!

In the Bay 12 Games Beyond Quality intro, when the program is saying "Quality", grab the title bar and drag it around a bit. Release, and when the lines appear, you'll hear a pig sound.
