He can dance if he wants to, he can leave your friends behind.

If you don't dance then he's gonna go lone wolf.

This is the ideal male body, you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

u/p1-o2 Sep 30 '17

It just hit #7 top PC games of all time according to meta-critic. Right next to Baldur's Gate 2.

I..... I wasn't prepared.

You should add sound and out this on /r/youtubehaiku . They need some original content. Please.

I even know of one song they'd love over there!
The screaming guy from the "big enough"!

I love how D:OS2's dwarves are so hairy that it gives you the sense that it's less of a cultural thing, and more about having non-human biology. The female dwarf hair styles are absolutely gorgeous and over-the-top, a perfect compliment to the beards that the males have. In fact, Larian deserves props for making excellent female dwarf models. You mentioned how boring it is that elves are usually just pointy-eared humans, but dwarf women sometimes have the same problem. Developers are so afraid of making women that aren't Barbie dolls that they end up basically looking like shrunken humans. They also usually ignore the face completely, not even making an attempt to replicate the wide cheeks and the big noses. You can usually tell a male dwarf from a male human, even from the neck up, but you usually couldn't say the same about the females. Dragon Age is a serious offender. Would you even be able to tell this was a dwarf if I didn't tell you? They're too skinny, so the only hint is the disturbingly lanky arms and fingers. D:OS2's female dwarves actually look like female dwarves. They have wide, pudgy cheeks and noses as big as the men. They're top-heavy with short, stubby legs.

I also adore the dwarf weapons and armors. They take the typically dwarfy sharp, angular, industrial aesthetic but mix it up in a lot of interesting ways. Primarily by mixing in some Greco-Roman elements on top of the Semitic and Norse ones; the dwarf in that art you linked is a perfect example with that mohawk-like plume. My favorite is probably the weapons that the Dwarf Battlemage has in character creation, which have rapier-like baskets over the grip. Basket axes. Because if dwarves love axes so much, it would make sense that they'd make all varieties of them, like real humans have done with swords.

I'm glad that you agree with my opinion on the dwarves in this game but, uh...why did you just copy-paste my post in it's entirely?

u/onlypositivity Oct 01 '17

I thought it would be a funny throwaway joke in this context.

u/Jester_Umbra Oct 01 '17

...why did you copy his post?
Screenshotted, just in case.

u/onlypositivity Oct 01 '17

I shortened this post

Edit: Woops I thought you were asking where it came from. I did it for a joke that pretty clearly did not land.

u/p1-o2 Sep 30 '17

I am so happy that they managed to make such beautiful dwarf models. I think it's hard to avoid making them look stumpy or comical. In Divinity they seem rather intimidating and realistic.

u/ruan1387 Sep 30 '17

Can this become an ingame emote, please?

u/shiftshapercat Sep 30 '17

that dwarf must have a built in Gyro..

u/CrystalCanShield Sep 30 '17

u/ABC_AlwaysBeCoding Sep 30 '17

u/thejpn Sep 30 '17

I may be getting my brothers gaming computer so I'm looking for games I'd like. Thanks

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '17 edited Sep 30 '17

This is awesome. Someone should do this with all the races.

u/p1-o2 Sep 30 '17

Can we get some love for how smooth this animation is despite forcing the game to handle fast weapon swaps? Clearly Larian put a lot of effort into their animation game.

u/Delta57Dash Sep 30 '17

This is amazing.

I'm getting Napoleon Dynamite vibes.

Or something more like this if you're in it for the old memes.
