That to me is what a dwarf looks like (besides massive beards). Different games that I've played present the dwarven women in varying ways. My opinion is the dwarf females in Dragon Age: Origins, Rift and World of Warcraft look the best, although Rift is maybe not quite so stocky. Dungeon and Dragons Online does okay with the dwarf ladies, but they look a wee bit manly around the shoulders. Lord of the Rings online does pretty good Hobbit women, but not the same thing, really and of course a dwarf woman in Tolkien's world is a rare creature.

Other games present them as cutesy poo, while their male counterparts look traditionally "Dwarf" like which pisses me right off. Cutesy is fine if BOTH sexes are presented that way (like the Catmansion people).

It's when games have this idea that female characters *have* to be sexualized and conventionally attractive. God forbid a short stocky woman be seen as anything *other* than hideous. Forsaken World is a particularly egregious offender in this department.

Gross-I think this makes the Dwarf male look very unsavory...kinda like a pedophile.

Anyway, I think I am ranting a bit. Whoops!
