I know I'm gonna catch all kinds of hate for this but it'll be the dwarf lovers chance to show me the errors of my thoughts. 
I've gone through 10 complete playthroughs but there a couple I still haven't finished which as you can guess is the Dwarf Noble and Commoner storylines. I've taken both Dwarf PCs back home to see where their storylines go and I just can't get myself to continue after that.  I wana move on to a new PC instead.
Is it just me? Am I just a big speciesist or do the dwarf storylines feel rather lax?
Justify playin a dwarf PC woulda been the title thread but it felt rather hackneyed.

You humans are all racist!

[Caozen]

There's nothing wrong with the stories. They're fantastically well-written.

It's the female models and their orangutan arms that make people cringe.

[KendallX23]

never played the dwarf origins but looking forward to it....in fantasy i do prefer humans though.....well for starters anyhow

[Mirthadrond]

You are not alone. I'm having a really tough time getting into the Dwarfs.



I was little miffed my DN got arrested, convicted, and sentenced *snaps fingers* just like that??



My dads the freakin King for crying out loud, and I don't even get to say anything at my trial??



Well,.... If I do manage to finish my Dwarf story, I know he's gonna be itching to burn Orzammor to the ground......... er..... wait.... burn Orzammor to... the.... underground???

OMM! That may be a contributing factor to my disfavor towards the Dwarven race... ...

I don't like the arms either, but I really love the stories. And I think they have the prettiest faces.

<---By the way, my current main character, Norala Brosca.

And they have the best stories. My favorite by far. But gameplay-wise, they are on par with humans in my book.

But I'm racist against elves. Freaking elves <_<

[Bullets McDeath]

I tend to be racist towards dwarves myself, but I actually found the dwarf storylines in Dragon Age were compelling enough to overcome my inherent bigotry. Actually, my dwarf is probably my second favorite character of all the ones I've made thus far.

[Thalorin1919]

I love the dwarves in this game. I think they are the best dwarves compared to other fantasies.



Its just that...I hate being short. I dont like being looked down to literally when people are talking to me. And I want to have a sense of power when I am around with my siler armor and sword as a human, you cant do that with a dwarf.



Same thing with elves. I would rather be a dwarf then an elf though.

That's...sort of the point to playing as a Dwarf. So what if you're short? Those humans and elves aren't looking down on a child. They're looking down on a hulking mass of awesome that could probably kick their asses with a flick of a wrist.

[krylo]

Listen, if you don't like being short as a dwarf, then just take your sword or axe and start taking off legs at the knee.



Then you'll be able to look everyone in the eye.



Except Sten. Sten you might have to hit closer to the hip.

Dwarfs: Don't mess with someone who could headbutt you in the crotch.



I tried a male dwarf commoner and it just wasn't working out for me. I think it would work better as a female.

Haven't played the dwarf noble yet, but given how brutal dwarven politics are in DA:O I think it could be a lot of fun.

[krylo]

Dwarf Noble is amazing.



"Gorim, why is this man speaking to me?"

[Caozen]

There's one thing and one thing alone that makes Orzammar the bestest evar.



Provings.

[FallingCowboy26]

I'm currently playing a dwarf noble warrior...I don't like the short factor either...but you just gotta take no **** from nobody, and they'll all fall into line.

HAHA!!

Yeah, that part of your character was pretty damn amusing.

Yet, somehow I couldn't bring myself to actually use those responses.

Can't I just hate everybody???

Dwarven politics. Epic.

I don't like elves. Mostly because I can't seem to manage to make one that doesn't seem to have a pinchy face. Dwarves though

[mslc123]

These women displease me, Gorim.

[Acero Azul]

 i like the humans and the elves the best, but im going to make a dwarf after my current human character

[soignee]

Yeah, to each their own. I think dwarf ladies are awesome, arms and all. The Origin storylines are perticularly gutwrenching, and I love my main so much I'm for once delving into the realms of fan art and writing as I've taken to her so much.



I am annoyed though that I feel I have to defend my choice of avatar/PC to the LOLOLOL DWARVES ARE UGLY LOLOLOL idiocy that strike up occasionally on the forums, but that's my own fault for being baited
