Why no court Dwarf ???

[Kiethoo]

CK2 had the respected position of court dwarf.

Why doesn't CK3?
And don't gimme some malarky about woke ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I'm pretty sure since CK2, Tyrion Lannister showed the world that dwarves in court are no jest.

No seriously, this weekend I'm throwing a Hobbit party. It's just a little get-together. On the menu will be shrimp, small fries, and half-pints. I've rented a LOTR pinball machine for the occasion. It won't take coins, just Tolkeins. Did you hear the one about the elf who walked into a bar? The dwarf went right under it!

It was considered offensive in a game where you torture peasants and have sex with your sister.

Hey, speak for yourself. Some of us are upright gentleman-kings.

Because in the eyes of the politically correct thought-leader elite today it is politically correct that political correctness has an effect at least as far back as the Middle Ages or even further. :P

This is exactly why hundreds of fairy tale books are being rewritten these days so that evil names like "dwarf" no longer appear.

All of us, therefore, repeat the following words very obediently:
A politically correct person does not speak of a dwarf, but of a person of short stature. ^^

Surely you mean to say a height challanged person.

Of course...

Sorry, I'm doing my best to internalize the new language rules as soon as possible.

My apologies for my unforgivably incorrect gibberish.

Might even be tonight already

You need to be duke or higher to unlock Jester

Hush now, we're sleeping

[Kiethoo]

You all seem to be linking the Dwarf to the Jester Position.
As I said, my court needs a respected Court Dwarf for important issues.
Plus when my idiot family starts producing mutents, I wanna make sure my cousin/aunt/niece who is a dwarf has a safe place to stay.

I'm guessing it's just not that useful of a court position. Even in CK2 it was circumstantial at best with dwarfism not being all too common in the game (and court positions not meaning that much to begin with). CK3's court positions are a bit more impactful, so locking one behind a hard to acquire trait that had to be farmed would be a bit strange.

Historically, it wasn't that great. It's also not exactly that prestigious in CK2 either. Basically, in the game, it's on the same level as a the eunuch position (not very high but better than the jester I suppose).

In CK3, you could just give them any title. No reason they can't be a musician.

Very well then on to the next topic.
