As we're rabidly approaching page fifty here's some more stereotypes that may or may not have been addressed...

According to Television Tropes...



You know them. Gruff, gold-loving, blunt-speaking, Scottish-accented, Viking-helmed, alcohol-swilling, Elf-hating, ax-swinging, stout, long-bearded, stolid and unimaginative, boastful of their battle prowess and their vast echoing underground halls and mainly just the fact that they are Dwarves.



A lot of dwarves are Scottish, Irish, or Russian. An entire race of miners and blacksmiths, with names like Dwarfaxe Dwarfbeard and Grimli Stonesack, overly sensitive about any perceived slight, always spoiling for a fight, and unable to speak two sentences in a row without calling someone "lad" or "lass." Expect dwarf-tossing jokes.



In the last couple of decades, they will often be depicted as more technologically minded than other fantasy races, verging on (and sometimes overtaking) Steam Punk, but this is in keeping with their engineering and crafting skills both from the classic Fantasy depictions and from actual mythology. Very often they will simultaneously be depicted as one of the most conservative races socially, although their overall similarity with humans compared to more outlandish races means the two are usually familiar with each other.



Despite his small stature, the dwarf will often serve as The Big Guy of a fantasy Five Man Band, especially since his Weapon Of Choice tends to be either an axe or a hammer. If they use any ranged weapons at all, expect a crossbow to be the most popular choice (if there aren't any guns, at least).



Often treated as a functional One Gender Race; one of the only widespread (but not universal) novelties is what the women look like.

And it took a little less than two weeks which is amazing given this isn't a shipping thread. Well, mosly not a shipping thread.

[soignee]

nothing to do with me, moving on. I never ship anything.

Totally not a shipping thread at all.

I am confused. What is a "shipping" thread?

A thread about relationships. Notably the Zevran one and the many Alistair ones.

Romance interest. Compare the speed of this thread to that of the Tali threads.

[soignee]

ships= relationships.

See the Zevran/Alistair thread. The former I haunt as it's a riot especially when the gif parties start.

Or rather, you ship everything so it doesn't count, right? 

[thegreateski]

Alright . . . but where does "shipping" come in?

Is this another one of those "You don't want to know" things?

It's not like "hey baby I've got a package for you" shipping is it?

You know slash fics, that is a kind of shipping. You take two/more fictional/real characters/inanimate objects and imagine them being in love*.

Obsessing about a fictional relationship is shpping. Of course, shippers often insist it's NOT obsessing but, well, how many pages is the Zevran thread again?

This fan fiction stuff is going to be the death of me.

Nothing to see here, moving on.

It's really amazing just how educational this thread is for you, huh?

Edit: And because you molest people.

Wait, temple? Do you mean at the gauntlet? 

[thegreateski]

If you consider mental scarring to be educational.

Yes.

Oh well. I was already a sarcastic ****** so what's the harm in making me even more pessimistic?

I'm going to guess 'for the lulz' or 'because that's how I roll.' Maybe an 'I have needs!'?

I'm going with, Zevran bent over with his short skirt looking for traps, revealing his newly purchased banana-hammock with leopard spotting.
