Bah, forget the existing Dwarves, though some would be fun to have back. I want OUR Dwarves. Hella, Dorn, Frederick, Thoryn, Xanthos, Flint even Xavier and Nasir with their scary glowing eyes and even those I don't have names for Gilsa, Veeia and Cespars little bundles of fun.

Who needs mages when you got a legion of these blighters around.

 

Apologies if I missed someone.

 

 

If you are including explosive experts for Arcanists then Rocky from the Chargers could fit too.

Lol well my bundle of fun is named Cespar Cadash!  We should totally make up banters for our character to say to each other!

[Zetrial]

Apology accepted from Zhenya and Reska.

 

I went through like 10 pages and then gave up >.> waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many awesome Dwarves around. If only you could mod npc companions in like Skyrim, fill up an entire tavern with all of us.

Am I blanking on someone? Who was the second elf companion in DAO? Or are you including the mage from DAA with Zevran? In that case, there actually were more options for dwarf companions in DAO-DAA since Oghren appeared in both, plus Sigrun in DAA, while the elves only appeared in one or the other. Of course, we have yet to have a female dwarf companion (looking at Harding and Dagna.)

Shale counts dammit!

[TobiTobsen]

its less dwarves growing in the cutscene and more "they start floating an inch or 2 off the ground" for the dorian romance I pretty much pretend my guy is on his tiptoes when they kiss

 

the most noticeable "my dwarf aint even touching the ground" comes from this conversation with cass though

 

*snip*

 

I find it totally hilarious when my dwarf is sitting on the throne to judge somebody. I mean.... I'm trying to be serious about judging people to death and other grissly stuff, but Thoryn is sitting there with his feet dangling in the air, unable to reach the floor while sitting.

atleast when setting down dwarves have an excuse for not touching the floor lol that pic with cass has me flat out floating off the ground

 

though yeah throne of judgment is pretty lulzy especially since the pajamas of justice look especially stupid on male dwarves with our stunty proportions

Probably including Velanna from DAA or maybe

Spoiler

Alistair as half Elven with his blood line

. I do think we need a new Dwarf though, Varric does deserve a break, the crap he's been through, he's earned it. I think we are fighting the lore a bit as well as other fans liking the other races more due to the bulk of our people hiding underground and Dragon Age will primarily be about the surface of Thedas as opposed to what is below. Perhaps if Bhelen can manage to lax the caste system and those who head to the surface aren't instantly casteless would be a start to a greater Dwarven population, and possible new settlements.

I thought as much, just couldn't find confirmation.

If I had to guess, I'd say he was saying:

 

Zevran & Velanna (DA: O/A), Merrill & Fenris (DA 2), Solas & Sera (DA: I)

vs.

Oghren & Sigrun (DA: O/A), Varric (DA 2/DA: I)

 

Also, bolded?

 

 

Sigrun (-100)

Sure, but... I mean the thrones look custom made. Where are my PR guys to tell the carpenter to shorten them a bit. It's not good if the Inquisitor looks like a kid, dangling his feet, waiting for mommy to come back with a cooky because he was such a good boy!

the thrones where probably ordered by the same person who ordered those abominable pajamas and wicked hearts nutcracker uniforms

Hehe, I actually went close to 25 pages back and then gave up at about 15 pages back. Too many and I spend enough time on the forums as opposed to killing stuff in game as it is. Still I want them ALLLLLLL and I want them now!

It's hard to count his parentage since perhaps two people still alive in most people's worlds know about it, and for all purposes, he is human and the devs firmly state there are no half elves, as such, in Thedas, I believe. I omitted Shale because very few people even after reaching the forge knew she'd once been a dwarf, but yes, she could be counted.

 

I like Varric, but I didn't get the sense of him as the inquisitor's friend the way he was with Hawke. I'd rather see them go with Harding or someone completely new who isn't stereotyped. Oghren did not exactly give people the best impression of dwarves in the first game, and pretty much every dwarf who has been a PC or companion except him and the Aeducan PC have been criminally connected (and he and the Aeducan PC were both disgraced.)

Sigrun (-100)

I stand corrected, mostly because I never made it all the way through DAA and tend to think of it separate from DAO and DA2. Sigrun definitely rocked, even if her appearance was pretty brief compared to DAO itself.

 

Edited: And I was pointing out that at least in DAO, we had more dwarf companion time available than elven, especially if you count Shale. Since then, yes, dwarves have gotten the short end of the stick, even though I'm convinced the lower player stats for dwarves has to do with design and story problems that steer people away from them. Like dangling feet...

Poor Sigrun, it's a shame she's so often overlooked and forgotten.

 

And even the game screws her over, because for some reason, she's built like a warrior, wears armour and is focussed on strength, yet she's classed as being a rogue? It's a constant pain to have to get a respec tome for her before you get her, just so you can build her properly.

also she isnt even mentioned in any of the keep options

[Gilsa]

LMAO. I never refer to my dwarves by names because I don't want to confuse people on who I'm talking about. I'll toss up a list of my characters so you'll see what I mean. But for clarity, my canon dwarf from DA:O is "Gilsa" (same as my handle). I consider my canon Inquisitor to be "Nogna." The rest are dwarves I play for fun, but they are not involved in my canon playthrough for the series. If that makes sense?

Please tell me that Nogna is the blond mullet one!!!?

I kind of liked this about Varric.  I think it was cool to see Varric through a different character's eyes.  I didn't feel the same connection to him in DA: I, but that's kind of okay in my eyes.  He was Hawke's bff.  He likes the Quizzie, but he has a different relationship with him/her. 

 

Agreed with everything you say about Oghren.

I was just messing with you.  The Divine Sigrun cannot be ignored!

Agreed.  It was really a shame that she was relegated to an expansion because she had a ton of potential.  I also rebuild her right away, but it's also to make sure that she gets lockpicking right from the jump (why does the game give us rogues who aren't spec'd for lockpicking?!?)

I couldn't agree more RE Varric and the half elf thing. If elves want to continue to survive they cannot be breeding with humans. Unfortunately the way BW has set up the lore any Dwarf we get will likely have some criminal or disgraced in some fashion while dealing with Orzammar. Harding was a good change of pace from this but even Dagna is disgraced as far as Orzammar is concerned. Sucks, but our people aren't a forgiving lot.

Maybe with the franchise heading north we'll instead be dealing with Kal-Sharok Dwarves whom seem to place less importance on castes and going to the surface isn't an instant exile.

[Cespar]

Usually all of our companions come from a background that isn't the norm to their race background, so I'm fine with the criminal or disgrace dwarf. I really want a dwarf that's a Templar, but I don't think that would happen anytime soon.

I'm excited for Kal-Sharok! Loved dealing with them in the two table quests we got. Especially when they told me I wasn't so bad for a dwarf from the *cough*capital*cough*.

They seem to be a rather interesting lot. Always hooded, using a different language then the Orzammar dwarves... all this mystery!

 

*sigh* I miss walking through the Deep Roads, discovering fascinating pieces of lore about the dwarves, thaigs, their struggle and whatnot.

[daveliam]

I would love to learn more about Kal-Sharok.  I also think that we could use another Legion of the Dead companion (Sigrun didn't have enough backstory to let us know about the group) and a Silent Sister (I know that she can't talk can't really offer much in the way of dialogue, but I'm sure that they could come up with something cool to let us know about her story).  I also really like the idea of a dwarven ambassador in Tevinter.  We know that they are regular citizens of Tevinter, but we've never met one.

That's the thing though, it is the norm as any Dwarf that goes where the player will go has to be disgraced. Someone like Harding isn't the norm as she appears to have nothing to do with Orzammar or the Carta. Just a farm hand that managed greatness.

[Broganisity]

There's a part of me that wants Kolgrim to be a companion: A Warrior. A Champion. A respected Legionnaire who now questions his duty after seeing the sun and the sky and the world above...

Also Scout Harding makes my scout har- I made this joke already didn't I? I apologize.

[Cuddlezarro]

you know what would be a great way into intergrate kal shirok into the story...by having a dwarf from there as a companion
