Because I agree with you that the Dünir armor concept art looks good and should be the goal.
And then you counter me by saying the Dünir should be beefier and wider.
But, that's fine we can give it a rest for a while.

I think it's just the hip size, or something about the proportions that needs a tweak.
Maybe do some photoshopping on the image and see what feels weird.
I shared an observation. That does not stop people from voting or sharing opinions.
And I will continue to share my observations in this thread since that's what the forums are for.
Pathfinder dwarves had 2/3rds the movement of humans. So frustrating.
Doesn't always mean that change is the right course of action for the game either depending on how the overall style of the game is.

If you notice the humans you don’t see many muscular or fat humans so it’s most likely the model body types are generic or haven’t been completely fleshed out. We’ll see.
But if you want to appeal to a broader consumer base and have a higher likely profit window. then It would probably be in your best interest to acknowledge what the segment desires.
The game is niche enough as is with an Open World and Risk vs Reward focus(Something I love). Having interpretations of races that don't align with fan desires is not going to make the game more profitable. I just want the game to succeed.
I don't want a bad creative take on a race to hold the game back. If my heart was in it, I would rant about Star Trek Discovery's Klingons. I will save us all the rant. The takeaway from that would be is sometimes it might be worth it to make your fans happy.
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
you're an even bigger fool if you think that's the case here
No one ever thinks they are on the fools side.
How is shaming a constructive argument anyway. If a majority express a shared constructive criticism and the only rebuttal is mocking intelligence while being provided with facts and logic...who is really the fool?
You think a lot, but back little of it.
Polls seems to indicate few of those thousands seem to exist or are voting to not have them changed
I wouldn't say that - you want what you want.
However, I would say you are fools for wanting Verra and the IP around this game (which is likely not going to be limited to Ashes) to be the same as every other Tolkinesque IP.
If you don't like the way Dwarves look, play a different race.
If you only play Dwarves, then I would simply attribute that as a second reason for being a fool.
Such a weak mindset.
If every race looks cool > more people wanna play the races > more people will play the game > more people will play the game for longer > mo' money for Intrepid

I'm also a bit bummed out by the dwarf character models. I´ve always played dwarves in both MMOs aswell as single player RPGs. Right now, the models look to thin, soft and flat. I like my dwarves thick, wide and strong.
Since Intrepid seems to listen to the community, I had to login just to state my opinion.
one read of the bloody dwarves wiki page and you'll get your answer - the dunir are closer to tolkien dwarves than any other by the sounds of it!
i've only ever really played dwarves..that said i'm rolling a human 100% if the dwarf model stays the same, and same for most people i assume.. like asgerr says it's beneficial for the devs to create a race people want to play no?
you did..indirectly..by not wanting them to be changed. you have to be blind to think they look cool right now.
How many thousands have voted so far?
I guess Intrepid said that they will change the base model of the Dunir if that poll hits xxx number of support.
How close are you to reaching that target number Intrepid said you have to hit to trigger the change?
