Dwarves are known as good archers in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series.

At the final battle of all time the dwarves all sit hiding among rocks taking pot shots with their bows at both sides.

>What started this trend

It has roots in Nordic myth but it was Tolkien who popularized it, just like everything else.

>Chronicles of Narnia are totally divorced from typical fantasy races

Because Lewis was a contemporary of Tolkien who cemented the typical fantasy races.

If it was Lewis' work that everyone latched on to for the fantasy races almost every fantasy game would be different.

"Dwarves were the only ones that knew how to make their fancy dwarven ingot shit"
Cool. I'll just tear that shit off the walls and smelt it down then, shall I? And somehow miraculously make and IDENTICAL REPLICA of their weaponry/armor with it, despite not knowing anything about their supposed magical fuckin smithing techniques.

But Dwarfs use hammers you faggot

Name 394 games that do this.

I always kinda liked it. I mean look at the other races. They usually specialize hardcore but humans do all kinds of shit and travel all over and have variations on skin color and facial features etc.

I mean they could do the same for the other races but it's kinda neat as is.

It's from the Book of the New Sun series of books by Gene Wolfe.

I'm sure it could be done with modern technology. In the books it's a world with an understated setting with a mix of primitive and high technology. It's a mix of sci-fi and fantasy, kind of.

the worst

They could make variations in other races like skin color and stuff but they always fuck it up.

For instance you have humans. Well white skin humans are from where you'd imagine and the dark skinned humans are from tropical places but when you get to dwarves they put all the black dwarves underground with the white ones. Why not light skinned dwarves underground and dark skinned ones around somewhere outside, like I dunno. Living around a volcano or something? Or on snow topped mountain peaks up super high?

Metropolitan societies where everyone get's along and lives together in fantasy make me sick.

>Human girl is spunky and cheerful
>Elf girl is arrogant, stiff and often condescending
>Orc girl is brash, stupid and aggressive

and the dwarf girl is perfect right?

>female character is the archer/magic user

Alright this drives me nuts. You gotta have some pretty decent arms to fire off a bow and these scrawny lil women do not usually have this. Also they lack depth perception.

And magic users are usually highly intelligent scholars, not emotional basket cases who lose their minds seven days out of the month.

Dwarf girl has a beard and speaks like a Scottish man.

You can only tell her gender if you flip her over and look at her under bits.

In my mind the dwarves primary weapon will always be a hammer

>What are Lizardmen?

Orcs are just blacks, desu.

I wonder what it feels like to step on her jaw on the battlefield, and push down with all your weight.
I'll bet the feel of excess bone crunching would feel great.

What would it feel like to kiss her afterwards? After you pick up her limp body and force your tongue down her trashed mouth? Greedily exploring whatever remains. I think it would hurt, so she would resist feebly.

Kind of like a burlap sack of rocks that was left outside during the rain.

I thought blacks are the blacks?

Why would a humanoid as small as a Dwarf ever use an axe? They are meant for swinging and need leverage to swing as hard as possible.

You can't generate that kind of swinging power when you are small enough to be able to walk underneath a horse. Dwarves should be armed with shields and short swords.

It's the warpaint of romance you uncultured swine.

What about brown/red Orcs?

Orcs are not exactly known for their intelligence or basic social awareness.

>dick-ass thief uses a knife in hand-to-hand combat like he's some kind of commando, and completely ruining the point of stealth and subterfuge

>Why would a humanoid as small as a Dwarf ever use an axe? They are meant for swinging and need leverage to swing as hard as possible.

They are stronger than humans, like chimpanzees.

>Thieves haven't had Blackjacks as primary weapons in years

Romance is a concept that orcs are incapable of understanding and experiencing user.

Before it became politically incorrect, races in fantasy and science fiction used to represent human races.

>humans are greedy

Dwarves with axes I can kinda get. Like... if I recall, traditionally stories about dwarves and knockermen originate from mines. A miner would be down there, slowly chipping away at the stone and trying to find a seam of ore or whatever. And then he either sees a dwarf or hears it knocking on the walls and follows the sound. Either way, the dwarf will lead humans to rare metals and minerals. But it was important to thank the dwarf or leave some behind for it, otherwise you would get bad luck and the dwarf might knock on the walls so hard the mines cave in next time.

So in other words, dwarves have always been associated with mines. It's probably why dwarf engineering exists, because the assumption is that if dwarves know about all of these ores and metals and shit then they also know how to process them. Mining and blacksmithing is very physical, so you end up with a character that has a lot of sheer physical strength. And what better way to visually show that than with an axe or hammer or some other heavy weapon?

Fucked if I know why elves use bows though. Aren't elves supposed to be spirits that look like women from the front but gnarled trees from behind originally?

Depends on the setting

>>dwarves live underground in mountains/caves/mines
>>their primary weapon is an axe
>It doesn't make much sense

The axe is a purely for war, like a sword is to a human.

>Human uses a spear

>>it's a fantasy setting, a world where everything could be possible and only your imagination is the limit

It's a shame. Here I'll do something fresh right here at this moment.

1. Bird people. Female is humanoid with hawk legs, talon hands, human torso, wings on the back and a semi-bird face with beak. They lay eggs. Males are just human because lol. They live mainly in burrows underground, like ground owls, because giant diurnal bats prey on them from the sky during the day

2. Leek-men from the swamps with dense tree cover. Plant people. They use bows and tridents and set traps for enemies. They wear tartan kilts. Their young are planted in the ground in rice paddy type things. Experts in camouflage.

3. Nocturnal people with an extra eye on their forehead like Tian from DBZ. They live in elaborate underground towns and are pale white with white hair. Expert in magic, blinded by bright light

4. Athletic, dark skinned humans with manes and cat ears. Males have lion heads. They build pyramids and have large cities. They raise and train giant, carnivorous, diurnal bats and ride on them. They capture prisoners from the other groups and sacrifice them like the Aztecs did.

What's the sauce?

>OP dual wields cocks

>giants are too big to feel pleasure from small folk
All the more reason to step up your fucking game, senpai.

Human lifespan has always roughly been 70-90 years if well fed and leading a healthy life.

The average age was skewed low because so many poor lead such a hard and unhealthy life that disease, malnutrition and violence were more likely to kill you than old age. But for the rich and the well off living to 80-90 isn't really unheard of or that rare.

Just go look at the popes plenty of them lived to see their 70s and 80s.

Which was still miles ahead of anything the dwarves could produce. The only thing the dwarves had going for them was Mithril.

I still don't get how thousands of years has passed in the Tolkien universe yet not one person has bothered to master the process of gunpowder. Guns would quite frankly change the entire landscape of war to a point of fair competition. Swords and magic don't have shit on actual decent firepower.

Because Tolkien wanted it that way. He hated technology.

so not different from real life then?

Because the only people that would care about it (humans) have been thrown back in the stone age some few thousand years prior

Turns out elves were the first to use mithril. I concede my point that dwarves were the most technologically advanced. Fuck you Tolkien, get off the elf cock.

In Tolkien's mind, technology separates us from nature. Why do you think Hobbits vanish from us entirely during the industrial age (according to his intro)

Not entirely sure on how good the info here is but:

Did you literally not pay attention to the whole sub plot of magic is dying and humans are becoming more technologically advanced that's why Elves were being assholes if they helped it would mean the end of the age of magic and the end of them.

You are aware the Quenta Silmarillion is an in canon book written by the fucking elves.

Of course in their history they were fucking amazing.

But its pretty much a universally accepted fact that technology will always beat magic. Always. Elves are just afraid of the natural process known as Evolution.

In case you didn't already know all the middle earth book by Tolkien were in canon books.

>The Hobbit
There and Back Again by Bilbo Baggins
>The Lord of the Rings
The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King by Frodo Baggins

The Silmarillion is a collection of the different books that Bilbo translated while in Rivendell
The Ainulindalë, The Valaquenta, The Quenta Silmarillion and Akallabêth. So anything in them could be skewed to that of an Elvish point of view or an Elvish version of history. And since no one else was writing down history beside the elves we kinda just have to go with their version of things.

Has there ever been a fantasy setting that was set in the future?

I feel like "fantasy world but in the far future" is an interesting scenario that no one has ever touched on before.

Star Ocean kind of does that, except you start out on a backwater medieval tech planet and end up running into advanced spacefarers from a different race.

Well they were just simple examples, but it'd be neat to see a fantasy world that develops and actually progresses to industrial and modern and futuristic ages.

>Like all evolving on the same world?
Perfect way to put it, yes.
>because they'd all be more-or-less allies by that point. How else could they advance so far without wiping each other out?
Well I mean look at our world and the past 50 years of human history. Maybe the elves and orcs never got along, maybe there's two mega-factions between the different races, there's potential for a lot of stuff to happen.

There needs to be more humans and orcs teaming up against elves and dwarves, the oldfags of the world.

Yeah but I find it hard to imagine a world that gets to that level of technology while still waging wars on one another. The first one to develop the advanced tech needed to go interplanetary would also likely wipe out the other races. Even if they developed tech simultaneously, they'd still have to be more-or-less allied to move off the planet. Just like we'll probably have to.

Elves get off my board, you're not welcome on /tg/ and you're not welcome here

Are you implying they aren't? Because Ork technology runs on the basis of positive thinking and experimentation. No one other then Orks can make Ork weapons work effectively enough to shred foes like swiss cheese.

The idea that dwarves use hammers is fucking retarded imo. If you are half the size of the people you are going to be fighting then you probably don't want a blunt object that could only do damage if you aim at the knees. If they are fighting other dwarves, dwarves by nature are stocky as fuck. They would probably take a hammer blow better than any other race.

In reality, they would use spears like the dwarven phalanx to give them a reach like in LOTR.

The hammer side should have a tube in the center of it with a black powder charge that explodes when the hammer hits something metal, shooting a spike of steel into the thing being hit.

It's an allegory about the white man.

and the faggot that samefags those autistic cringe threads about warhammer has arrived

>Pikes are very bad for penetrating armour.
Not at all, especially when you come from below, as you're only 2/3rds of a normal human.

But its exactly what user was asking for though, fantasy tropes and stereotypes portrayed in a futuristic setting. You can't really get any better then that especially considering its former connections with Warhammer Fantasy.

What game, if any?

And that same faggot that bitches about said 40k threads has joined the server. Enjoy your stay faglord

Nope. Dwarves are always muscly so wielding 50kg hammers shouldn't be a problem. They also are superb armorsmiths so piercing or cutting through dwarf plate would be impossible. And good luck using spears/pikes in tunnelfighting. So the only feasible weapons are crushing blows or the pointy side of a pickaxe.

>you're not welcome on /tg/
But that's wrong. Elf-hate nowadays is a Cred Forums and Cred Forums thing.

Wtf do you call them?
Don't say prawns, they're different animals

>And good luck using spears/pikes in tunnelfighting
That's the best weapon for a tunnel fight. Just form a phalanx with archers behind

>elf character puts on a show
>human plays a washing board
>dwarf plays a sax

>Dwarves are always muscly so wielding 50kg hammers shouldn't be a problem.
you're an idiot

>race has wide hips but don't give live birth
>even though there are LIZARD species who give live birth and are at the same time monogamous

>pointy side of a pickaxe is more effective than spears

Okay, show me where to fit the phalanx and the battalion of archers. Also tell me what kind of archers they are that can pierce through dwarf-made plate.

>Racism

>Don't say prawns, they're different animals
We call them prawns. Sorry.

>being this mad he's easy find out whenever he samefags his own replies
it's not my fault your autism shows
i'm not even the same guy lmao :^)

Yes. Think about it. It's not that hard to realize why plate armoured knights always managed to slaughter spear-armed peasant levies.

>bataillion of archers
Depending on tunnel width, you'd only need a few men for both roles
>Also tell me what kind of archers they are that can pierce through dwarf-made plate.
Oh, so you're one of those faggots

If we're talking traditional Tolkien LOTR there is no plate armor everyone is using anglo-saxon arms and armor Nasal helms, shirts wrought of iron rings or iron fishes' mail.

Jacksonized Tolkien is where you get everyone wearing plate for some reason.

No, we just don't eat shrimp that much.

I fuckin died

>That little bush

Why do only Chaos Dwarfs gets to play with blunderbuss?

It is one of those threads.
>let's bitch about unpracticality of fantasy combat doctrine
>but only about these aspects, not the other aspects

Gee, I really wonder why the spanish square suceeded in basically rendering knights redundant
>inb4 muh muskets
Face it, against a trained force fighting in formation with spears/pikes, cavalry hardly stands a chance, unless they manage to flank them

That wouldn't even work against regular plate let alone dwarf plate

Game?

>they lack depth perception
Explain?

Plate has a lot of weak points, like basically all the joints, below the chin etc. Against a human it would be very easy for a dwarf to exploit these weakpoints with a spear. Also, what#s so special about dwarfen plate?

Women always keep one eye looking for things to complain about

>Elfs have bonus Magic and Dex
>Dorfs have bonus Strength and Vit
>Humans are average at everything

...

>Half-elves have some benefits from their elven heritage but can also choose which stats/skills they want to improve.
Fucking bullshit.

Yeah aiming a spear precisely for the joints of a moving target who can parry or grab your spear isn't easy
>what#s so special about dwarfen plate?
It's fantasy

>>inb4 muh muskets
Yeah, let's totally exclude everything that disproves your argument. That will surely make for an interesting and lively debate.

>It's fantasy
Why not just make a magic, plate-piercing spear then?

Fuck off Aran no one likes your shitty polearm class

>polearm
>not literally the best weapon
Swordfags are cancer

>gold armour
What was he expecting.

Pimpin ain't easy

That doesn't really make sense with tolkien lore unlike the stronger dwarf armor though. I mean in real life they tried making plate to protect against guns, it just became unfeasibly heavy, doesn't sound far fetched in fantasy

+1 CHA bonus maybe besides its a well known fact that the more stylish the suit is, the better protection and bonuses it provides in battle.

could be a really powerful magic katana
or maybe it just gets passive buffs from having it equipped even if it doesn't fight with it

actually, dragons are infamous hoarders but I can't recall any media that has a dragon actually use any of the enchanted bling its accumulated.

God was his armor, faith was his sword.

Do you faggots ever wondered why people stopped wearing full plate and shields when guns became a thing?

The thing about Dwarfs is that in EVERY fantasy setting they are always always outnumbered hugely so even if they shred through the enemy with their guns the enemy will eventually reach them.
Undead, Spiders and most Orcs don't wear real armor so Hammers would be fucking useless, just dual wield axes, us them to climb up the giants back and shred his neck.

>Elf can crossbreed with a human shota
>Dwarf can't

>actually, dragons are infamous hoarders but I can't recall any media that has a dragon actually use any of the enchanted bling its accumulated.
What a waste. Except for Smaugh who used them to pimp out his scales.

>half dwarf
>height is that of a human

And ignorance was his shield desu.

Jackson did it best.

Swords are way better than polearms, more versatile, easy to carry, way faster, perfect backup weapon, more aesthetic and iconic

>Do you faggots ever wondered why people stopped wearing full plate and shields when guns became a thing?
Except they didn't for quite a long time? Gunpowder weapons have been around in Europe since at least the XIV century

You know you would need wide hips on a humanoid frame to pass a large egg as well.
Eggs don't really grow, so if you wanted an infant the size of a human infant to emerge from one you would need wide hips to pass such a large egg.

Even assuming a leathery, flexible egg a reptilian humanoid would need hips at least as wide as human hips. If the egg is hard shelled then the hips would have to be even wider, still assuming an infant the size of a human infant coming from the egg.

How the fuck would a dwarve weild a hammer in a tunnel like that? If anything, they would use knifes and just aim for the face. Given the tunnel that you posted, they would be damn near crawling so their face would be vulnerable

That's the most stupid shit I've ever seen, but it's okay, because dwarfs did it.

>They could've just blocked the arrows

Name of the book?

was this on the extended
cant remember tihs bullshit on the movie

Isn't a half dwarf just a beefy manlet?

>muh realism fags

But orcs look attractive sometimes.

according to my history professor, if you survived childhood and weren't a soldier or completely impoverished you'd probably live to 60-80

KILLER OF CELEBRIMBOR

Dwarfs are pretty much "that kid" of the fantasy world.

That's wizard

Stop memeing even for one second at least

Third Part of the Hobbit movies was completely and utterly retarded.

This is not even the worst part.

Have you looked at the 30 Year War?
It's pike and gun all the way. Cavalry is still armored but even the poor fucking bastards charging into the pike wall with two handers stopped wearing full plate, merely cuirass kept being a thing.

>The world is filled with Dwarfs, Elves, Halflings etc
>You can only play as Human Male.

wtf am i looking at at first i thought its just swirling axe

>The first one to develop the advanced tech needed to go interplanetary would also likely wipe out the other races.
if you're blending sifi with fantasy you get stuff like each race protecting their main cities by shifting them to a different dimension, being housed inside a literally indestructible crucible etc that means you can't just glass them orbit

No, that's Skaven.

The only part that I even found to be of interest in that movie series was the part with the two giant stone beings having a boxing match in the background. That shit was something else.

Blame Tolkien.

I love how he defies gravity like that and after all that he still has to slip again after throwing the orc so they can show him flip again

no it's not. user specifically asked for actual fantasy races that all lived on the same world rather than aliens that happen to be based on fantasy races.

>not playing as a White Human Heterosexual Male Fighter/Paladin

Das it mayne

movies was hot garbage that never should've been made

still surprised that christopher lee filming his scenes first meme actually came true

>You can only play as Human Male.
>Only warrior.
>Only use swords.
>Only two-hand or dual weild.

Yeah, it's the extended version. Didn't remembered that scene on the movie screen either.

No, Tolkiens fantasy races used all kinds of weapons. Blame early editions of DnD that populated the
>elf = bow
>dwarf = axe
images, because they based their fantasy races on Legolas and Gimli, not the entirety of their races.

There were people wearing full plate still during the English Civil War

>magic users
>not emotional basket cases who lose their minds seven days out of the month
if you don't suffer sporadic bouts of insanity you don't know enough magic to call yourself a mage with a straight face

It's a ballista that fires bolts with a bladed fan that is angled in such a way that the drag from it flying through the wind causes it to spin.

I don't know why people are bitching, this is a really cool idea. It may not be practical in real life, but it's realistic enough to make it believable that a high fantasy race that are skilled engineers would be able to construct something like this.

It's the same premise behind a regular arrow. The feather causes it to drag and spin. Those seige engines are probably gigantic to give it enough force to propel them like that, but they made it a point to hide them behind the mountain so the elves would waste their volley.

I read the book years ago but after watching it, boy that was really fucking shit.

The first movie wasn't so bad though, second was alright, but in third Jackson just went pants on head retarded.

Not even gonna list all the things different from books, just the fact that fucking Legolas is not in the book at all.

*Gygax

>Dwarf can't

Get cuter dwarf.

Judging by the behind the scenes, Jackson didn't really give a shit and every important decision was taken by the studio

>2 colossal stone giants wake up for no reason because a few dwarves were walking around

How the fuck do I read this? Left to Right or Right to Left?

I liked how Dragon Age: Origins had the elves and dwarves suffering their own conflicts within their culture. Not to mention neither of them being too fond of humans.

>He wants his girls to be manly and ugly

A little ripped dwarf with a composite bow could reck shit.

>He doesn't want a waifu with a silky smooth beard to rest his head on

Serious question: what is the point of choosing to play as a human? Isn't the point of fantasy settings let you play as someone you aren't?

>human use claymore to wreak havoc across the battlefield
>elf use epic magical focus to annihilate whole legions at once
>dwarf only have a fluffy wambler

That's gay as fuck

>elf uses magic
>human uses sword and board
>dwarf fucking cooks

Down on the corner, out there in the streets...

>How else could they advance so far without wiping each other out
depends on the size of the world and how rich in resources it is.

also the races could have terms of engagement they've all agreed to without being straight up allies for the sake of preventing mutually assured destruction, which after being in place long enough, led to 'war' basically amounting to occasional turf wars over country boarders and certain islands.

Hell since you could have 'the worlds gods come down and brute-force a ceasefire whenever conflict gets out of hand'

Its not their fault that dick breaks them so easily, also that's why you get more than one and breed them

Self insertion.

I mean, it would be quite interesting to see how other races react to you and everything when you're "just" a white human male.

>claymore
>not superior Flamberge
Vibrates at high speed, superior parrying and bleed abilities and cuts through armor like melted butter. Go home sheep fucker.

Its so you can play a human that isn't a failure in life

The other races don't usually interest me much. Oh this human is short and lives in a cave. Oh, this human has sharp ears and has some mystic bullshit. This one is green and has a funny nose. This one has horns and a dragon tail.

>implying humans aren't average
>implying it isn't the elef with the long thin dick
Get the fuck out with your useless faggy animu elves.

elves and a few VIP guests fuck off to elf heaven to party forever. the only ones that die are the ones that choose to remain in middle earth

Lizards are the superior race.

>Isn't the point of fantasy settings let you play as someone you aren't?
First of all, no.
Secondly even if it was the very idea the average fantasy fan is remotely near a basic fantasy human is pretty funny.

>Want to be a dick-ass thief with a blackjack and bow

Easier to identify and assume with bonus points if I get to just wear a helmet all the time.

>the only geography and biomes present are those found in europe

Most video games that allow you to make your own character and choose from one of several playable races are written very poorly and every race that isn't human is just one stereotypical human trait played up too much to be enjoyable as the main protagonist.

I'd highly recommend looking into Divinity Original Sin 2.

>Can rob pretty much everything not tied down

In the book they don't get close to them at all. They're giants, and throwing shit at eachother during storms is their pastime.

Because the second game even in a bare bones state is already turning into a better game. I'd personally rather invest in an eventually better product than a currently existing okay one.

Protipp: Your headcanon is not a valid source. A lot of setting have elves taller than humans, even their girls. But you are probably one of those guys that know elves only from japanese pornography. Which, by the way, isn't a valid source either.

Literally Dragon Age 2.

No I mean. Sure it may be better but it still take some time before they complete it and first OS isn't a bad game so why not?

What if you're not a human in real life?

>throw rocks at each other that cause them to fall apart because they're made of rocks

Pretty stupid either way, although it's probably a lt less stupid in the books than just what was on screen but I don't remember that

Divinity Original Sin 2

I don't often/ever play as a human, but the point is more to *do* things you usually wouldn't be able to. Just because you can be a human, it doesn't mean you can exist in a world filled with magic and other races and monsters in real life.

tusks not big enough

...

The punishment mechanics for stolen goods in DOS2 are way better though. In the first game if you were never seen robbing shit, you were always guaranteed to get away with it. In DOS2 the victim will report it to the local guard and they'll start questioning people about the incident. If you're caught with the stolen goods, even if you weren't the one who originally stole it, you're arrested or worse.

The law cannot be evil, it is the law.

Archery put so much stress on the person that their arms were often malformed over time. You need strong as fuck arms to be able to handle a medieval bow.

>tfw not even Tyranny will have even half the edge of a Slav game from a decade ago

This is exaggerated. Every kind of manual labor back then would do horrible things to your body. We don't assume that peasants were some kind of super strong workers because the hard work, occasional malnutrition and diseases fucked up their skeletons. You >muh longbow fags just go full overboard with it.

How much edge was there?

Divinity: Dragon Commander.

>elves invent crossbows because they're too lanky to use longbows

Usually Crossbows are used by Dwarves simply because their arms aren't that long for better pull of the string

Suppose that you build what basically amounts to a giant iron thermometer. Mercury is roughly twice as dense as iron but we need to give it space to move around so say we fill half the sword is empty space.

Lets say you start swinging the sword from the tip of your head and cleave someone apart. The mercury will congregate at the hilt of the blade then move to the tip halfway through and impacting the opponent. Congrats, you hit with less impact as a warhammer of similar mass. You lose out even more on pressure because you are smacking someone with an iron thermometer and not the beaked portion of a warhammer.

Now, you try to lift it up again and the weight of the sword is all the way at the tip making it much harder to lift up compared to a regular sword. Only when you lift it up half way would it start sliding back. If you were using a regular sword of similar mass, you would have gotten ready for a 2nd swing already.

So basically, all these complicated shit means that you get some odd ball combination of sword and warhammer but because its a giant iron thermometer, its much more fragile than both.
