Reply To: Dwarves as playable race

The problem (imho) with Dwarves is not that they're "typical" of the Fantasy genre, but that they're almost always stereotyped to the Tolkien version of a Dwarf (always male, hungry for battle, wielding axes etc etc).

That is true. It seems pretty universal for dwarfs to be like that – maybe that's what I don't like. If the Guild Wars team could reinvent the dwarf-shaped wheel and change that stereotype like they have with the Holy Trinity then maybe my opinion of them would change.
