Why are dwarves in video games just humans with beards instead of having unique features like weird ears or skin?

Dwarves are always wasted potential.

>unique features
You mean like being super hairy, short, wide, and always looking like old men?

>being a fag and complaining about dwarfs

go be an elf lover somewhere else

If you shaved a dwarf they would just be a short human, that's bad design.

The entire point of dwarves throughout folklore is that they don't change, to contrast them with elves/fairies who are mercurial

>that's bad design
that literally is design
>if you trimmed the ears of an elf they'd just be tall humans

dwarves are based this is not up for debate

this is a japanese dwarf
western fantasy just doesn't have the creativity to separate itself from tolkien

Personality and culture is very good but they are so boring to look at and customize.

Dwarves were taken from norse mythology. They're literally just midgets because vikings thought being a midget meant you were magically gifted and could craft magic shit.

That's the most generic fantasy creature I've ever seen.

Post a non-generic dwarf.

why are western pigs so hypocritical?

Remove the ears and this is LITERALLY just a human

Never said western medieval fantasy is that unique. Only that one you listed isn't that original. If you want a good example of a japanese take on fantasy, look at current day berserk.

Because that's what dwarves were since their inception, you fucking smooth-brained piece of shit.

Western games just put everything in human skin and think it's interesting.

>ogre but small
unbridled japanese creativity

You can't improve upon perfection.

>make bum short
>call it a dwarf

TW dwarves are boring as all hell to play sadly.

Because that's what dwarves are, short, stout humans. It's nice to see them be something else than "gruff miner who likes booze and fighting, and has a Napoleon complex", sure, but it sounds like you're asking for something different physically, in which case, why ask for a dwarf at all?

They are super fun but super boring to look at.

would be cute with non human skin

so what happened if you were a midget in ancient norway and couldn't craft some magic fire axe?

DOS2 did elves really neat imo

Nah they are boring, they are far too strong making them incredibly boring in action. No matter what you go with with dwarves for an army it will hold its own against strong enemies, whenever you actually apply yourself and make a good army you just completely wipe the floor with enemies.

Maybe I just dont find being that powerful very fun.

what did they do differently other than less beards like dragon age?

Dwemer.

why are Elves in fantasy always just tall and pretty with zero personality?

Elves are always a waste of time

>dude lets just make assyrian elves lol

everyone who lives long enough turns into a salty fuck. just visit a nursing home

Really cool but extinct so it's whatever

elves are a waste of time because they are just humans without the flaws and ugliness.

>without the flaws
>always some conceited race on the brink of extinction because they got rekt by unga bunga humans 10,000 years ago

Assyrian elves with space age technology that inadvertently willed themselves out of existence.
Dwemer lore is pretty interesting but obviously you don't really care and just want to shitpost.

Wish they would add more weapons to Deep Rock, I want a reason to play again.

>Posts the dwarves front DRG
>He doesn’t realize they have customizable skin color

No real flaws though, they are the perfect self-insert for women and beta males.

Where's her beard?

>tfw hate beards because beardlet irl but love dwarf culture
beardless dwarves when?

>Dwarves shouldn't be short people!
>Dwarves shouldn't have beards!

The fuck is wrong with you people?

dwarves are just the self insert race for manlets

>>tfw hate beards because beardlet irl
That's pretty pathetic user

what kind of an estrogen filled faggot do you have to be to hate dwarves of all things

you just described the average elf

Im gnot a gnelf

It's fantasy. Revel in the beard you yourself could never have.

That and Tolkien based his dwarves off of the mythological ones and his work sort of set the typical fantasy templates for the races.

Lanky fuckers who look so malnourished you can see their muscle, fuckin giraffe necked cannibal faggots
