Where were the dwarf women

[DeadByLag]

Something that struck me as odd was I don't recall seeing any female dwarves while at Vergen. Human and elf women were roaming the streets casually, though.

Why didn't the developers include any?

How do you know you did not see any? In quite a few lores, dwarfen women look just like the men (discworld, lord of the rings) :)

This has been raised a few times, not sure anyone actually got an official answer. So its basically either the above or lazyiness and overlooked. :p

Edit
===

While i could find no official answer, apparently there is a quest in the witcher 3 (have not done this myself) where you have to go to a morgue, apparently when you look at a dwarf body that looks male, your companion turns aroudn at states actually thats a female, beards to not determine sex.

So indeed while some may shave, others do not, so you may actually have seen quite a few

I seem to remember Zoltan mentioning dwarf women having beards, so there could be females and we just can't tell the difference as humans.

Yep, I mean I think there is a slight difference, but they do have deep masculine voices too, dwarfes can tell each other apart, I assume someone who hangs around them alot can do, but the the casual person, they look and sound very similar.

Again the lore in the witcher is slightly fuzzy, but in discworld and lord of the rings, they do sound silimar too, I think its kind of a generalisation, same way elves have pointy ears no matter which book your reading. (though elves do vary in height between lores)
