    I believe that in russian mythology, what is translated to "dwarf" is way closer to a "gnome", but it's close to LOTR dwarves nevertheless. AOC dwarves make me think of dwarfism than korean mmorpgs tbh, not LOTR based mythological "dwarves", or gnomes who are mythical creatures OP wants AOC dwarves to look like. I hope it doesn't sound too complicated or worse patronising as it was not my intent. I know slavic folklore and dwarves there are basically gnomes, they don't look like people with dwarfism AT ALL (neither does LOTR) and I kinda get this vibe with AOC

    краснолюд/краснал (red-man, translated to dwarf but actually gnome) and карлик (dwarf). OP used гном, literally gnome :) Gnomes in slavic mythology are again something different so this is a borrowed word..

    How do you know so much hahahah. Because of the poor translation in books and movies, we have" dwarf "is your "dwarf", and the real " dwarf "is our"dwarf". I noticed that some people here do not understand why I said "Korean dwarves" because in Korean games , they often make an anime appearance, and especially all sorts of races of "kraliks" with big eyes and small hands and feet, in short, make them as cute as possible in appearance. I hope the translator coped well!

    I am so proud of this thread and the many like it that got Intrepid to rethink those awful dwarfs.

    Beyond excited to see the changes.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.

    They've actually been working on it since December 2020, at least.
    Hopefully, just one month before we see a peek.
    I hope they show some comparisons with other races.

    The back looks awesome.
    Still, size comparisons with other races would be nice.
    Probably won't see that before the November LiveStream.
