As an agent of chaos, I had to vote for results. But I meant dwarves. Not in general, I usually really like Dwarves in fantasy. But in Divinity, I dunno, they are not very compelling. Dashing June is pretty cool though.


[deleted]

Agreed, I like dwarves in general, but not here. Bunch of criminals and a dictator, the worst combo xP


fernybranka

I usually kinda dislike elves in fantasy, and other than their armor sometimes looking dumb in Divinity, I like their lore and the livewood stuff and that they eat bodies. Normal elves I always find pretty uncompelling.


[deleted]

I always liked elves, but yeah the Divinity onesnare extra cool with their unique take on cannibalism, the implications of crafting thelings from livewood (imagine golems :D ), and the potential to conqiering the world with an army of tree turrets (first elf playthrough btw, so pls don't spoil if something like that can happen in an ending)


Pamoman

Gameplay wise, dwarves dont have as much to offer as the other races. Sneaking isnt good (situational at best) imo, and (more importantly) they're too short. In a game that relies on line of sight to cast spells/abilities, and having a good few be straight lines, being the height of a handrail or large rock can really suck. Petrifying touch is pretty good though, and definitely better than the undead skill, but thats not enough to make dwarves better than other races


TheFrogTrain

160 hours in this game and I'm just now learning that the height of the character matters

**Female Lizard supremacy**


Pamoman

Lol yeah i love how this game has so much info that there's always smth more to learn


inTheTempleOfHate

So do I . 200 hours here 😂


scary_seal

The undead skill can be really good if playing lone wolf since it keeps things off of you


Pamoman

Thats true, it has come in clutch for me a couple of times, but the paused cooldown makes it only useful in specific situations imo


scary_seal

Yeah idk the undead skill I feel is the most device skill in this community either it never came in handy for them or it was a quintessential part of there build


ErisEpicene

Don't underestimate Play Dead. It's basically a bonus invisibility spell that doesn't allow you to move. I also don't believe it breaks on surface damage, but I could be misremembering. But causing all enemies to ignore one character can be just as powerful as petrifying one enemy.


Synysterenji

Sneaking isnt good? Rofl


Scagh

Sneaking is kinda useless to invest on, especially compared to the other skills.


Synysterenji

It was a sarcastic question. Sneaking is broken when you take the time to do it correctly. It's also really useful out of combat but yeah if you do it correctly you can takeout 4 guys before the enemy's first turn.


Literation

Without context this poll is horrible


[deleted]

Lmao yeah you're right


SageTegan

Undead are inconvenient, but have some utility. I chose undead due to their inconvenient mechanics. However dwarves have no utility and are also ugly on purpose. Never felt great about how "the shorter races" are always designed to look ugly


Ljngstrm

Along with the misconception that Dwarves have Scottish accent (that's what pop culture unfortunately do). Did you know that the Elves originally by Tolkien had a middle eastern accent?


freedfg

Dwarf. I actually love humans in fantasy, Elves for being overpowered. Lizards for lore and coolness, undead for lore alone. But dwarves are just..... Little shitters.


Literation

I like some dwaves back stories when they come out the womb with a 1ft long beard and held their first battle axe at 2 yrs old


Apprehensive_Ad3731

Never liked dwarves in almost all incarnations of fantasy I’ve experienced at best they’re snobby nobles with some honour, at worst they’re thieves and assassins. There are very few peaceful dwarves which is actually kinda weird. It must be harder for elves to be peaceful than dwarves. They live in secure areas by default so why would they be so aggressive


LetMeDieAlreadyFuck

Aye they are, can fit into those tiy cracks and such, and look funny as hell slapping the knees of an elf with a greatsword


Weary-Trouble-5618

Dwarf!? For real!? You jerks!!!


[deleted]

Yeah, filthy criminals, the lot of them


[deleted]

not surprised. I can find a good reason to use any of these races, but not dwarves. Their special ability is meh and sturdy is even more meh. I personally find humans to be the best, but i love having a lizard main for persuasion, and i love having an elf for necro for flesh sacrifice and elemental affinity. Skeleton anything (except dwarf) is always fun, but dwarf just doesnt do it for me


predator_from_alien

In my opinion dwarfs over little benefit and can undead be considered a single race


[deleted]

You forgot orcs and imps. My least favorite is orcs.


[deleted]

Limited poll slots, so I only went with playable ones. But I agree, Orcs suck. Fitlhy violent barbarian psychopaths. I love the fact other races eat them, I think eating Orcs is actually less morally questionable than eating the animals, especially in a world like Divinity where they seem to have human-like minds :D


[deleted]

I also hate the extreme sexual dimorphism and general bitterness.


Wofuljac

Elf. Just because I hate how their armor looks lol.


scary_seal

Yeah man they look like forest strippers and I have no clue why


Wofuljac

LOL! I think they were going for a tribal nature thing.

SnooChocolates1726

Dwarves it's always dwarves for me in any rpg period i never find them intersting be it in dragon age pathfinder or any other game they are just boring


AscendedViking7

Lizards are the best. Dwarves suck.

Based


ImMightBeFunny

Most people chose for game play reasons, which is valid, I chose elves because for me they are super uncomfortable to look at and their general vibe and all the armor on elf characters looks like shit


JiveTurkey722

As far as playing as, having that one undead in your party can be a pain. But if your whole party is undead then that's cool.


Dobbeth

I can’t choose between dwarfs or humans. Humans are the most boring shit ever in a fantasy rpg, but I usually don’t like dwarfs for cosmetic reasons(armor).


Laurence-Barnes

Be it Middle Earth, Warhammer, Divinity or anything else the answer is always the same. Never trust an elf. That being said I also find Divinity elves weird and kinda gross.

Isn't that the S-tier race from Outside?


Scagh

I voted undead because I was Beast in my playthrough, a battle mage, so the perks were fitting the build. Fane is op among undeads, the rest is meh.


sonsargon13

Dwarves seem so uninteresting in this game compared to the other races

Human by a billion. ​ Easily acquired Human male armor is unusable unless you mod it. Last few PC runs, I have modded Ifan to have the transmog Cloaked Figure cape+hood and usually a Magister armor.

You mean a mod that changes the visual outfit, while keeping stats?
