everything about them.  i hate their short fatness.  i hate their home which is ALWAYS a city/underground forge with lava flowing through it.  i hate their beards. i hate their caves which you are forced to quest through in every rpg that has dwarves.

i am stuck in this game where my next and only option to go is the dwarven area.  i want to beat the game but i am dreading spending the hours it is going to take to get through this area. 

i am just curious, am i the only one who hates dwarves and grinding through their underground cities and endless tunnels?

i thought of posting this because i was just wishing that orzammar (how cute the name even soundes like ORE-zammar) was DLC so that i didn't have to play through it.  but then i started thinking even deeper,  what if DAO actually gave me an option to release my hatred for the dwarves?  what if i could DESTROY THEM!!!  i would love it!!!  wouldn't it be great if i could force the dwarves into extinction!!!

oh how levely it would be if instead of entering this dreadded city and interacting with these stout morons, i could send sten, zevran, and my doggy out on a mission to find all possible exits from there city then have morrigan cast a spell to cause a landslide at each exit and lock tham all inside forever!!!

now that would be role playing at its finest!!!

What I don't like about the dwarves is that they all speak in an American accent.

Everyone knows that dwarves are supposed to speak with a Scottish accent.

[omg give me a user name]

but then we wouldent have their fine golden ale.

You might want to, oh, I don't know, actually play through the Orzammar plot before you judge it? Just a thought.



I've never been a fan of dwarves either, but I actually like them in Dragon Age. Giving their city an Aztec feel was awesome, and I for one am SO GLAD that they don't all sound scottish. So cliche that is.

This is the only game in my history of gaming. ( I'm 31 and have been playing since the Commodore 64 ) where I have liked how dwarves have looked and have been presented in general.



They are incredibly well done here.



Up until this game I didn't like Dwarves either... so I hear ya about those grievances. I wasn't far off long ago.

[KalosCast]

...you bought a high fantasy RPG when you hate dwarves to the point that you don't want to play portions of games that involve them?

Why is it that the no spoilers forum is filled with ****y retards?

[Runaan]

I thought they were pretty interesting in this game, actually. I love their "political" storyline.

[KirbySkywalker]

well, i must say, before this game i also hated elves, but after playing the elven origins stories, and even creating them with the CC - before the game was released - i am all about the elves. most of my characters are elves. my main is the elf you see over there by my name <----------------. come to think of it they are all elves so far! even my mage!

[KirbySkywalker]

i dunno KalosCast, why are you here?

[Rhys Cordelle]

I've designed my next character, a dwarven rogue. She is actually quite pretty :-)

[DiablosShadows]

Yeah, this is the first time I've seen elves portrayed as slaves to humans. Usually they are immortal, insanely attractive, god-like beings. Interesting twist.

KalosCast, lay off the insults. If you've nothing constructive to post, then pass on the thread.



As to the topic: I've always liked Dwarfs. But I have to say, I really like the way this game handles them. Very different and refreshing. A warning: the Orzammar part of the story is long, so I hope you can find some way to overcome your loathing of the Dwarfs.

[Rhys Cordelle]

It's certainly how he made mine. If only Alistair had some of that gay elf blood in him.

[rumination888]

Play the Dwarf Noble origin.
You'd have to be crazy to play that origin and still hate dwarves.

[KirbySkywalker]

maybe i just spent a little too much time in ironforge...



THANK THE MAKER for games like this that actually have a story.

Well, according to Morrigan and Oghren, Alistair's sexual orientation is still open for debate...

Because people who buy a game chock full of dwarves and then whine about how much they suck... while not even experiencing their portion of the game need to be mocked. It's my oddly-specific hobby.

[KirbySkywalker]

its true, the origins stories (the ones that i have played) all are very well made. they have all pulled me into the story of the people! i loved ******* the **** out of the ***** ***** that ******** my ***** on my ******* *** in the city elf origin!!

[Riddley313]

Dwarves are indredibly well done in this game. Like Samurai Pumpkin, I'm an old school gamer, and this a great presentation of dwarves.



Now, elves on the other hand...I've yet to be convinced. I've never been able to play an elf under any circumstances. I just can't stand them. Weak, frivolous, and flighty. The one's in DAO well done - however, they make my stomach churn a bit. With the exception of Zathrian, I find most of their personalities pathetic. I can only see myself playing one briefly for the origin stories.

[Dargor Icarus]

Dwarves rock I dunno why u hate those guys. I do agree that in most games they are very ill represented. DAO at least gives u a kind of insight of what they actually are like. Not the usual drinking ale and fighting orcs kinda thing.(talking about orcs the Hurlocks resemble an undead version of orcs)

ok, i can respect that. how do i make the dashy line box things?

Dwarves are awesome to say the least and this game did a great job with them. It's unfortunate that the only real bonus they get is a slight magic resist. I would have liked to see more difference in racial abilities. But regardless, at least they have a good look. Even the dwarven women aren't too terrible in some cases. Of course, as usual, the great dwarven empire has been overrun. (This is WAY overused in fantasy stories) The underground levels are pretty decent, I see no reason to skip them. Aside from being shorter, they aren't a whole lot different than humans in this game. They have a caste system and don't have mages.
