What the fuck is a Rothe?
No, seriously. I finally get down to the fifth layer on umpteenth attempt at this stupid game, and I get killed by some weird abomination that I don't even recognize? Fuck this.

I thought so too, but I think I'm getting better at it.
I hate rothes. They either give me too much food or too much beatdown.
I hear they're like underground cows. Whatever.
I think mumaks and baluchitheriums and titanotheres are far more dangerous though.
Fun fact: I once had a tame mumak. I named it Hello when it was still a kitten, for obvious reference. I now have a screenshot of Hello Mumak.
And I really can't see how its UI is complex at all. Certainly better than that of DF.
There's only a handful of menus, and pretty much everything is done with a single keypress (plus an extra one or two to specify and item and/or direction).
Some of the stuff is kind of unintuitive, like the skills system and pretty much every command that starts with #, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward as roguelikes go, at least.
And compared to Dwarf Fortress, it's ridiculously simple.
Really, for the game that coined the phrase "The devteam thinks of everything," I'd avoid describing anything as "the only point."
Including other cockatrices.
Also, stone golems are nasty.
