Sounds to me as though there's a real opportunity for Larian here . I hope they'll take it, especially as I think they already have some great shorter race characters in the game already, with Barcus being perhaps my favourite NPC so far. So wanted him to be a companion .
Though, while I'd admit that shorter races have not been done great service in the past, I do think there are some good examples. Varric in DA2/DA:I is friendly and humorous but I'd not call him comic relief. And Regill in WotR is deadly serious (admittedly almost amusingly so). Not that I personally have any objection to comic relief characters anyway. Tiax rules all!!!
I don't think that game studios have the balls to introduce a shorter race with romance in this woke age. I bet there would definitely be some idiots who would try to accuse them of pedophilia or something stupid like that. A hairy male dwarf with a long beard might get pass, but shortstack woman certainly not.
