One of the best things about Dwarf Fortress is the story telling that surrounds it. I remember reading a great story on the forums about a Dwarf possessed to build a great work, but in the end it was only a legendary iron bucket.
Some of the more… mundane artifacts are nevertheless very useful. An artifact bucket can be used to build a very high-value well that gives dorfs happy thoughts. Artifact doors and floodgates are indestructible and impervious to invaders that can knock down standard issue furniture. Artifact tables and chairs are obviously useful for furnishing dining halls and offices.
I hope at some point miners in DF will get a special strange mood in which they go and dig out some crazy architectural masterpiece, a dining hall or a dwelling or a tomb fit for a king. Currently they just go and create an artifact masonry item, which is a bit boring.
Oh, and there could be another strange mood where the affected dorf becomes obsessed with delving too deep and too greedily, with certain spoilery consequences if not stopped in time.
