And srsly people don't attack someone because he post hes opinion, thats just lame!
Agreed, because nothing says "My e-peen is huge!" like verbally abusing someone that can't punch you in the face. I wish I could find a place on the Internet that didn't have 4chan mentality.

There is point where opinion becomes trolling. I respect people to have their own opinions but this is just over the top. I suggest this and all other Oghren hating related topics be banned. We don't want a flame war do we
Yes, because threads that don't promote my opinion must be closed![/sarcasm]
You can argue wether or not this thread is flame bait, but the person that bites and start flaming back is just as guilty and childish as the original troll. And this thread isn't trolling; trolling would be posting "I hate Ogrhen" in a "I love Ogren thread".
Anyway; my biggest problem with Ogren in Awakening isn't the annoying "I'm a one dimensional dwarven stereotype, hur hur" (amusing because even though Ogren is the stereotype, BioWare managed to avoid it for pretty much all the other dwarves) that is Ogren per see; it's whatever genius decided on the line "the return of an old favorite".
You know what happens when the marketing lines are ambiguous? The fans start imagining things like "oh, I'll bet it's Leliana, I loved her in Origins", or "Sten! Yes, who doesn't love the stoic awesomness that is our pet-Qunari!"; only to get their hopes crushed when it's revealed to be Ogren. If BioWare had said from the beginning the dwarf is coming back, there would have been far less fan-rage, I think.
