The question is clear, Larian, why no dwarves? No dwarf party members, no dwarf origins, no dwarf romances. Unless I missed something or yiu keeping them as a surprise, why no sexay dwarf women to bang? Thats just rude. Us dwarf lovers need some loving too. Elves, lizards, dragons, bears, and more... but, no dwarves? Come on. Don't pull a Bio... be inclusive. Thanks. I promise , at minimum and 8.5 rating if not higher if we get a sexy beardless (no lotr nonsense) dwarf lady to romance. This can't be top much to ask for.
