So I have just watched the Gamescom Demo and noticed the cute dwarf scout at the beginning. I have liked the dwarves so far in DA games, but could never make a dwarf warden because they were so badly proportioned :( but the demo gave me hope again. Now, it is very likely that my first Femquisitor will be a dwarven lady if I can get her to look like the cute scout :)

 

I hope they let us have badass scars like that scout. And talk to that scout a lot. And go on romantic walks at the beach with that scout.

Likely wouldn't play as a dwarf but after Iron Bull the dwarves are the only playable race without a LI representation. Here's hoping for Dagna LI in next DA game :).

You are like my Dragon Age soulmate. That's exactly how I feel! And that was previously my dilemma as well.

 

The race-gating announcements basically require me to play an elven mage first. But my heart is still dwarven forever. 

 

*stares at own signature* Someday...

It's nice to finally find you soulmate.  B)

 

I think I'm gonna roll a qunari mage first after all. I'm not too fond of the way male elves look and I really want to roll a male in my first file. Eh on humans. I'd love to be a dwarf but I'm not gonna have much time to replay in November so I'm siding with my favorite class rather than my favorite race. :/ My second file will def be a dwarf though! Mark my words.

 

Ah, to play as a dwarf mage. That's the dream. Maybe next game or the game after that? :/

One can play as a Dwarven Mage, if one considers Enchantment as a School worthy of instruction. Maybe no staff, but lots of *BOOM* toys to tinker with, as well as possible armor and weapon runes to flaunt.

I love head canon.... :lol:

Dwarves are basically miniature Klingons.  That is why they are the greatest race in all of thedas.

Qapla'!

Its true. Dwarves have created powerful enchantments for generations.
Despite not being able to CAST magic, they sure know how to use it :)

Magic always goes wrong. A good explosive rune is reliable... And won't get filled with demons because it was dumb once.

Hello all.  I came in here for the dwarf support, since there isn't much to be had from the company at this point.  Forgive me for not reading the entire thread, but I was wondering what class folks thought about making their dwarves?

Dwarven Rogue Archer for first Inquisitor; Dwarven 2H Warrior later on in replays.

Warrior! Templar Specialization!

 

Probably using a great sword, since that way my Inquisitor won't have to compete with Cassandra for the coolest weapons :) I can give her the coolest long sword & shield combo and the Inquisitor the coolest great sword! It's the perfect plan! I realize I could do it the other way, but Cass just looks so awesome with a shield :P

Rogue, archer spec (not sure what that is yet.)  Crossbow, because it would suit my dwarf and having her and Varric stand back-to-back fending off mobs would be a lot of fun.  He's gonna be my drinkin' buddy.  :D

 

When I do my warrior (second toon, human male,) he's also going to be going with a 2-handed weapon.  I agree about Cass, wholeheartedly.  A sword and shield really suits her.

Female warrior, sword and shield, not sure about specialization until they give us more details.

I'm mostly likely going to be a tempest, because I'm going to have Cole and Varric in my party. I'm starting to think that tempest is the archer class! Is anyone else bring Varric along just so you can have another dwarf with you? I liked Varric in DA:2, but I always wanted to meet him as a dwarf, and surprisedly he shows up as a party member again and we got to play all of the races again!

Both warrior and rogue eventually for sure, but a rogue that uses the bow is my priority I think.

You're certainly not alone on that one.  For my first run, I'll be taking him around everywhere.  Two surface dwarfs seeking drinks, stories and adventure?  Awesome.

That's been my request for the Lady Inquisitor thread in the Feedback section: I'd love to see a dark skinned lady dwarven Inquisitor complete with a crossbow, a smirk, a couple of scars and The Hat™ in a trailer.

I'm definitely doing my second playthrough as a male dual wield rogue.  I've only ever played one other rogue (they are just not my style) and that was in DA: O with a female Brosca.  Since I would never dare to remove Bianca from Varric but still plan to keep him around as my snarky bro, I need to spec dual wield so we are not redundant. 

 

I'm also probably going to make my female Inquisitor a dwarf.  I'm not confident that I'll actually get through the playthrough since I prefer to play males and there's not really a f/f romance option that I'm interested in, but I'm certainly going to give it a go.  I'm expecting that she'll be a sword and shield warrior.

I've played too many dual wielding rogues at this point, so I usually save it for my third or fourth character these days.  Several years of D&D kinda burned me out.  However, I did find through experimentation that so far in the DA games, two archers in the party can just annihilate everything in their path.  One time, I got curious and put up a group with archer Hawke, Varric, Anders and Sebstain.  The damage output is insane, even in DA2 where I'd honestly say archery got extremely crippled.

 

I'll probably roll up another dwarf, probably a sword and board warrior.  My 2h warrior is going to be the one I'm basing off of Auron from FFX, my second Inquisitor.

 

I'm also with you in the f/f options, at least for now, but at least Iron Bull looks really interesting.  Two fish out of water might get along quite well. :)

My dwarf warrior (above) will probably be my first PT. Eventually, I'll try a dwarf rogue, but I'm not that interested in the artificer specialization which is the only one we know much about at this point. My Aeducan was a warrior (sword and shield) and my Brosca was a rogue (dual wield). I've never had much luck with my rogues as an archer (Leliana is the only companion I ever spec that way), but I think I must have been missing something in playing them since everyone else seems to get huge amounts of damage with them.

I'm really depressed the more I think about it, with the lack of dwarven mages.  It throws off the numbers for one and prevents me from playing one of my favorite classes with my favorite race.  It also translates to no dresses for my dwarf girls....

 

People always say how few people play dwarves, but they can't be one of the more popular classes which skews the percentages.

 

If you take out mage and only compare rogue and warrior it would be more accurate results, because dwarves can't be mages, and if they could we have no idea how many mages would have been dwarves.

I'm playing a dwarf first just for the pure awesomeness of being a badass dwarves warrior riding a war nug into battle. Imigine the look on the defenders faces if you breached a castle like that lol

Smells like Gelfing?  Sorry, had to give a Dark Crystal shout out.

 

The key I found is to get your strength to 21, since it'll allow you to wield the heavy duty bows, along with getting your dex up.  The other trick I found is to keep cunning either just below or equal to my dex.   Finally, before I get too many active skills going, I try to get my passive abilities going.  The ones that gave you passive bonuses to damage or crit.  

 

@Puppy Oh, it's more than just Dragon Age.  Plenty of games such as Warcraft and the Neverwinter Nights series have allowed for dwarven mages.  It's just not a popular race in most fantasy settings, unfortunately.  I personally don't mind having no access to dwarven mages in Thedas.  Magic?  Give me a good bow, some nice enchantments and some alchemy.  Magic is overrated sometimes anyhow. :P

 

Besides, I've got my Qunari saved for my mage game.   ;)

I love tanking and I love dwarves.

 

They go together like hot tea and warm biscuits.

 

Besides, if there's a joy like the joy at seeing a small lady dwarf tanking for a full party, I don't know it. Come on, I'm going to be tanking for Iron Bull on a dwarf gal. And that will bring me a warm kernel of delight in the cockles of my heart.

Hmm, the cunning may have been my main problem. I tried to run as a rogue archer on my very first PT, and I'm pretty sure I didn't put nearly enough into cunning, and nowhere near as much as my dex. I ran a rogue (dual wield) later with Leliana in the party, with her choices closer to what you mention, and they seemed to do some great damage together.

 

Love the DC reference...
