40d Talk:Dwarf
I don't really see the point of those pictures, but that isn't a good enough reason to remove them.
If you have any reasons for which the picture(s) should stay or should not stay, please give them. --Savok 09:58, 4 November 2007 (EST)
- I believe that the pictures help visualize the things talked about in this article, for instance, the dwarven stature, the artifacts dwarves are said to make, and a little joke about managers. -- Bovinepro
- The joke is just plain stupid and DF doesn't connect axes and dwarves at all.
- I suggest placing a smaller, possibly improved version of the picture directly in the article, and deleting the other two. --Savok 23:39, 5 November 2007 (EST)
- This entire article, barring the 3rd paragraph, has nothing to do with the game and should be tossed. --Moller 02:45, 6 November 2007 (EST)
- I agree. I plan to rewrite it in the form of Human and Elf. The wiki can have some humour, but this doesn't fit the tone at all. --Turgid Bolk 14:22, 6 November 2007 (EST)
- Done, a complete revamp. I considered removing the Mythology section too and just linking to the wikipedia article, but I suppose it doesn't hurt the article any. --Turgid Bolk 21:45, 6 November 2007 (EST)
Do dwarf chicks have beards?--Tarsier 21:58, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- Usually, no. Unless you are talking about a hardcore mythology version in a very specific locale, like the example image you get if you follow the Wiki link. For DF, I don't think there ever been a fixed description, so it would be up to Toady to decide in the end... --Eagle of Fire 23:20, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- Naturally. All dwarves have beards, according to Tolkien. This is a page for discussing the article, though, not for discussing dwarves in general. That kind of stuff is for the forum. --Turgid Bolk 23:27, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- It's not like Tolkien is an ultimate reference to anything... --Eagle of Fire 03:10, 14 November 2007 (EST)
Has anyone tried editing dwarves so they can fly? I'm wondering how that would work in fortress mode. Cliffside fortress, anyone?--Smoking Gnu 20:33, 23 November 2007 (EST)
