News of the hour! Lord Harrowmont directed guards to slay bronto before all assembled deshyrs had a turn! Allegations of clear favoritism and being a total buzzkill abound!

I suspect there's more than a handful of voting rounds while the the trip to Deep Roads takes place, just like there had been many before the PC even showed up.

They simply remain locked in the stalemate (not in the least because of PC's meddling if you support Harrowmont) and can't come to agreement so these votings don't solve anything. It's not like the guy you oppose has some kind of decisive advantage when you start your trip.

News of the hour! Lord Harrowmont accused of kicking brontos in the streets! Many question the intelligence of such an act!



(I believe we have a new way to entertain ourselves.)

News of the hour! Rumors spread that the Orzammar criers show favoritism towards Lord Harrowmont or Prince Bhelen! Rumors dismissed as bronto dung!

What does? Having arms that don't go down to their knees?

I blame it on alcohol.

Those arms seem disproportionate to me in relation with body shape, mass, and model design. They just look stubby, and have the side-effect of making the dwarf look fat instead of stout.

Hey, taxes are serious business. People go through way more loops than that to dodge them...

I didn't notice either until it was pointed out but wow they're huge. I guess those that can't stop staring at them really have problems completing dwarf games.

I meant that I didn't notice that they were shorter now. They looked pretty normal on the female in the middle.

So you'd rather female dwarvs kept the arms that reach their knees instead of stopping at the upper thigh, as if they were spawned with apes. If you think that is "correct" I shudder to think about your taste in women...:unsure:

I did ok in massive armor on my DNF but my Broscal in light armor is killing me.

Arms to hips.



I imagine that bigbad's taste in women is of the "death by SNU SNU" variety. (jk)

I still don't understand people who insist on making fantasy races proportionally identical to humans. They're not human. They don't have the same proportions. Dwarves are shorter, with denser muscle tissue, rounded jawbones, and longer arms. Elves are shorter than humans, tend toward the slender, have sharp cheekbones, and have pointed ears. Complaining about it is like complaining that a bulldog doesn't look like a wolf or a fox. It's not supposed to.

The proportionally longer arms on dwarves are, in fact, correct. Correct for dwarves. Which are not human and are deliberately designed to be visually distinct from humans, instead of being regular short people.

I fully expect to hear people complaining that dwarves are too short at some point.

The problem is that dwarves don't have longer arms. They have the exact sized arms that elves and humans do and that doesn't seem very realistic.

Proportionally longer in relation to the size and shape of the body, not actually longer in length.
