Hello, I'm from Russia I want to express my opinion and ask you to change the appearance of the Dwarf Race (I will continue to write in Russian)
Короче говоря, по названию темы вы можете понять, о чем я здесь напишу. В общем, я большой поклонник расы гномов, а именно гномов из фильма "Властелин колец", меня расстроило, как здесь выглядят ваши гномы, они "корейцы" и это не только мое мнение, хотя сейчас я говорю за себя. Я знаю, что у вас была только альфа 1, и у вас еще много улучшений впереди, но, пожалуйста, если вы сможете как-то изменить их (гномов) и сделать их свирепыми и суровыми гномами, как во Властелине Колец, уверяю вас, это значительно улучшит желание играть за эту расу у многих людей, включая меня. Я с нетерпением жду твоей игры . Я приветствую всех ребят из России, отписывайтесь, ребята, если вы согласны с моим мнением, надеюсь, это обращение будет замечено!
Надеюсь, переводчик перевел нормально.

And I agree! The a1 dwarves look shit. I know, unique art style and their own designs and the likes, but honestly? I don't care 🤷 I want dwarves I will recognise within any distance (except ultra big donstance cuz obvious reasons) and these versions of them are an insult to dwarves. Ppl constantly arguing there will be body modification options, but looking at the dwarves, they don't even look dwarven on default. This is fine for gnomes or halflings, but dwarves? Nah, that's just an insult xP
Reinventing the wheel doesn't work for games. If you try to do it you are just taking a shotgun and shooting yourself in the foot.
Intrepid wants the mountain dwarves to be dwarves? Then follow the stereotypes. They are there for a reason, they are liked 👍
Please consider writing exclusively in english, since for now this is part of the forum's rules
Otherwise a wild Toast may appear and close your thread!
Since you're a LOTR fan I'll forgive you as for myself
Here's what google translate says about the russian part of our friend's post :
I don't know about Korean dwarves-style but your concern is globally shared within the community. We've had a similar thread not long ago about the exact same subject (except pour the Korean part
I see no such mentions in the forums terms of service orhow to use the forum post. Please direct me as to where it says this.

May be removed accordingly. Varies by why the different language is used it seems
Thank you for the answer, It remains only for the developers to pay attention to this.

Wait and see
Yeah, we were meant to see beefier models. That's not what ppl want. Being beefier is just 1 out of 4 things
I still don't understand English, there's no point in watching, let's hope that Stephen will pay attention to the dwarf race and by the release we will see decent, strong and harsh dwarves of mountain cities
I am glad that people are paying more and more attention to this topic, thank you
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
Here is a dwarf from return of reckoning, I'd recommend basing the size/frame of a dwarf on this, ofc adding your own spin to the aethetics of it. At the moment their sizing is an issue for many players.
I get the square dwarf love, but I really preffer the top heavy trapezoid model personally. Big beefy arms and wide shoulders but slightly less wide hips proportional to the shoulders. I hope the sliders give the option to get close to this on Dunir, but still starts from top heavy trapezoid.
My reasoning for top heavy trapezoid is because female Dunir should probably have wider hips for Dunir's big ass heads to come out safely. But the square stack model would deaccentuate this gender difference to a degree between the two. You could do square for males and bottom heavy trapezoid for females if you really want the base dunir to be square. If you do that though it would make certain armor trading mechanics where racial armors are wearable by other races basically impossible with Intrepid's resources. It would also look jank (totally my personal opinion.)
The square stack model was probably built with Tolkien dwarves in mind where there wasn't a need to distinguish between male and female dwarves as much.
From a recent interview Steven said that they will be bringing out orcs towards the end of the year, and I quote, "once you do see them though, we will have begun pretty aggressively production on all of the races at that phase." So that is about the time we will start to see major race attention.
Here's the interview. TImestamp is 31:24
nice thankyou
буду надеятся на это, раз Стивен говорит что мнение игроков ему важно, а как я уже понял не только мне одному не нравятся такие дворфы
Yeah man here's hoping they can give us some cool looking dwarves.
I'm not sure on the accent but I loved their tone of voice in DA
Got $30-40 million? Make a game the way you want.
Yeah and they have asked for feedback for their million dollar game so that they didn't waste said money. I guess we can mark you down as liking the current dwarf features and body structure?
Really no need to have an attitude. These forums are for ideas and feedback, the devs even ask us for our insight. These are just opinions and ideas from fellow gamers, relax.
они не просто так у игроков спрашивают их мнение, и просят дать им новые идеи
"They ask the players for their opinion, and ask them to give them new ideas."
thx, my frend
However I know everyone has another point of view.
