Is there a more boring fantasy race?

The only reason Dwarves are ever included in a fantasy universe is because it's like a requirement of sorts. No one is particularly interested in them, at all. They're boring, ugly, etc. .

Dwarves and elves are tired fucking fantasy tropes, people have tried innovating and giving them different traits in some vidya, but at the end of the day everyone knows the rowdy, greedy, loyal dwarf and the aloof, haughty, mystical elf.
Have them, or don't. I'd much rather have beast races or something like rock people, but the former attracts furfags and normies usually can't deal with anything that isn't human-but-X.

More like belligerent rusthammer
Amirite?

For me, it's Goblins, Grots, Gretchin, Gnoblars & Snotlings. Love the little green bastards.

Tech savvy dwarves and gnomes are fun.

Axes and hammers are the worst part, everybody copies Gimli, while dwarves should be using spears and polearms to compensate for their height

more like everybody should be using polearms

I bet you like Elves.

Girly elf hands typed this post.

Literally just a human with pointy ears

>But muh magic affinity
Humans also know magic

>But muh immortality
A normal human accomplishes more in 10 years than an elf does in a 1000

>But muh wisdom
Being nihilistic douchebags does not make you wise

>But muh mithril
Has more advanced material + more experience, still only uses it to craft bows and swords

Why are drofs like this?

elves have way more tropes, variants and even subraces though, dwarves are literally always the exact same character

there are literal FANTASY NIGGERS for fuck's sake

>leddit spacing
Of course dwarf-fags would come from there.

Have you ever considered that time simplicity is best? Dwarfs don't need all this morally grey bullshit character arcs or tropes. Dwarfs are Dwarfs, you get good Dwarfs and you get bad Dwarfs, You get your bros and you get the character you love to hate, what else do you need?

Why should dwarves be exempt from that while everyone else gets called childish morality?

Goblins are more boring, and the most boring is gnomes.

>Semitic language
>Long nosed
>Love gold
>Love gold so much that they often dig too deep and get genocided/are forced to flee their cities
>Will only help their fellow "humanoids" against monster races if it suits them
Yeah im thinking Tolkien was based

>t. faggot elf

Because when you have a solid concept that works, what is there to fix?
The problem with Elves is that yes, their tropes have been beaten to death by every form of media and at it's core, what makes an Elf in most media are things that people can get tired off. But with Dwarfs, you just have that fun friend who's occasionally drunk and a bro.

Cave goblins sure are, but not the happy merchant inventors

Vampires exist, you know

you left out the best part
>obsessed with mining, digging, smithing, ores/gems, masonry.
I actually really like this part of Dwarves.

I love all people. Black, white, Asian, Jewish, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, Native American, et cetera; they are all dear to me. I will even tolerate Canadians.

But I would lynch a fucking elf in a heartbeat.

Classical fantasy races are cool but are also extremely overdone. They don't really offer anything different gameplay-wise. If you're going to have different races they should actually be different. Have one to three of the following
>Human/Humanoid races (elves, goblins, humans, dwarves, etc.)
>Beast Races
>Strange Races (Plant people, elementals)
>Construct Races (Golems, robots)
>Spirit Races (angelic or demonic, another example is whatever the fuck Ori is)
Actually make them all play differently besides minor stat or perk differences.

Dwarves are short tempered, jolly bastards who bring anymosity to the party or are a comfy NPCs to interact with. Can't say the same about OP.

>Elves that hate sunlight
Yuck. Pass.

it's 2020 grandpa

And how does that appeal to the casuals? Your ideas are not profitable and you will be terminated from the company
