I don't believe there are actually any female dwarves. Don't be fooled; the female dwarves in char gen actually have male equipment downstairs. And since they already showed a gay romance, they just didn't have time to show a dwarf one, all of which are gay.

You can create a female dwarf in the game. Just like any other race. Even one with a beard. Tolkien's books of the LOTR, he mentions female dwarfs not looking much different than males do. But they are still females, :P

Even in real life, some females look rather masculine. But in all important matters, they are full females in all ways.

Nope. Dwarves pop out of holes in the ground. I'm positive.

What is a Dwarf, but a very small bear, really?

Because fingers exist if you want the dwarf experience.

Have you seen dwarf fingers? They're practically sausages.

It has become clear in recent announcements that the game started off following D&D, but now it has become more loosely based on D&D. Just a small bait and switch. They want to appeal more to Casuals and I guess casuals do not like Dwarves.

No, the game started off very similar to DoS 2. Your spells even caused environmental effects, such as pools of acid, fire and ice. There were a ton of explosive barrels scattered throughout the game, which players could collect and use to obliterate boss fights with ease.

But the D&D purists around here whined and moaned about it until the devs started removing these features to make it more aligned with D&D mechanics.

Lol. I am positive now you are not being serous.

David Gayder, one of the head honchos at old BioWare explained why Americans (and Canadians) don't like to write dwarf/small race romance scenes:
"The men are gross and hairy. The women all look like 14 year olds. Dwarf on dwarf romance is okay, but it's just weird otherwise."
Those were his wise words once upon a time. Let's ignore for a moment the fact he says it's okay for gross hairy men to bonk 14 year olds, you can draw your own conclusions.

So he was uncomfortable writing for fantasy races in his fantasy game, it sounds like a flimsy excuse to me.

I obviously can't use the bg3 dwarf models against this statement since it was made well before bg3 and that would be pointless.

This is why I will always be fantasy biased, elves get everything and our poor dwarven lads are just supposed to accept it smh
