Im still torn on buying DF. Toady and co deserve the money but I kind of want to save it for aid and stuff. I just play “classic” version. Thankfully I am fine with ascii graphics
You can easily get the steam graphics if you want them and just drag and drop them into your classic folder. I did it the other day to play adventure mode with graphics
The Steam version does actually change a few things (though to be fair last version I played before the Steam release was 0.40, so maybe they got added to the free version too?) mainly the interface. It's slightly simplified and more user friendly, mouse support is also finally sensible. In general positive changes imo.
“Classic” version is updated without graphics set, it’s supposed to have feature parity because people didn’t want the original free ASCII version to be abandoned. You can tell the UI and stuff is different in v50 classic and stuff
