Pointy ears

[Abe]

Who's idea was it to give us pointy ears?

Like... Seriously now.

Someone deserves a spanking

Robert, i've already given him grief about it. I hate it more than anyone, it doesnt even make sense because they use pointy eared as an insult, clearly referring to elves, and yet here we are. Hopefully we'll get customizable faces some day so we can have proper ears.

[Abe]

I hope you spanked Roberts bottom red

[St0rmFury]

Yeah, I also realised the irony when the dwarves made pointy ear comments.

[Spall]

"They're not that pointy are they?"

[Buddy]

the dwarves remind me of fat goblins especially with those pointy ears, just need a green skin customization.

I was very disappointed when I saw beardless dwarves on the screenshots and videos from this game, but I bought it anyway. Because for me beardless dwarves with these pointy ears in this great game look like ugly fat goblins (such as prince Gallywix from World of Warcraft). I was very pleased when I found that you can buy a beards to 2 dwarves that are beardless by default (shooter and miner).

A clean shaven dwarf is bewildering enough, hell I'd go so far as to declare it an oxymoron...

...but pointy ears?

[Justicier10-7]

The only Dwarf that I accept when clean shaven is the Driller... for a flamethrower operator a beard is a terrible, terrible thing to have. Heck, it'd be kinda funny to have a "scorched" option for facial hair and a "no eyebrows" option for the driller specifically. I just put the Corporate Marine helmet on my Driller to cover up his ugly mug.

But pointy ears... yeah... no excuse for that one... they do look like fat goblins as a result, especially if you accessorize with the "Ghoul" skin tone.

Perhaps you've never heard of the irondrakes

They have helmets that hide their beards, isn't it?

Honestly hadn't until you mentioned, I'm not really into Warhammer. But they look amazing, though they don't appear to leave their beards exposed to flame in any of the artwork that I've looked at. Instead it looks like they have a helmet with an armored "beard" attached to their helmet that covers their real beards.

Would love to see an "armored" beard option in DRG to be used in conjunction with open face helmets.

The pointy ears seem like a tribute to the more "classical fairytale" depictions of dwarves where they often have somewhat pointy ears.

Yeah comming from warhammer too^^
No sane dwarf would shave his beard off. And to forcefully shave a dwarf will result in an eternal grudge or even a war.

As for the driller? mine has a mohawk and red hair so he's practically a slayer but even they only crop thier beard short if at all. xD

I believe we have stumbled upon an idea for future headwear

[I LIVE AGAIN]

Maybe they got mutated by eating too much red sugar.

Yes, need face customizations. Armor too.
