No doubt about it, from all the Tolkien-inspired fantasy races and tropes, the dwarves are my all time favorite people to read about and interact with.
there have been a few variations on their axe wielding, heavy drinking cultures, and the one in Dragon age (Origins to be exact) is a great example of these.
however:
I have trouble finding movies/literature/games featuring dwarves, not as "one of the races", but rather with a dwarf as a main character or a focus on dwarves.
I DID play dwarf fortress for a little while, but the sheer depth combined with a non-existant tutorial caused me to put it aside.
also played Dwarfs!?, I liked that one.
So, what do you guys think of dwarves, and what sources of great-bearded goodness can you recommend?
