The dwarves have a special place in my heart for I’ve always enjoyed working labor intensive jobs. Any fellow blue collar workers here? More BG3 videos coming soon.
I play a dwarf rogue in a 5e campaign right now. I don't care if it's sub-optimal, it's just fun to play. If I get the opportunity in this game, I'll remake him in a heartbeat.
"The badassness isn't shortened It's distilled." Hahahaha love it. I'm glad you also mentioned the Duergar. My sorcerer ran into one at the beginning of his campaign in the Underdark. She was an exile who joined forces with him and helped him survive long enough to develop his abilities and meet the other future party members. Sadly she died very early on though. So much potential lost. But her sacrifice allowed so much shit to be set in motion for the larger narrative.
hahah happy you saw the meme! That's cool man, I always love seeing a character step out of the stereotypes of their race, whether they go evil or good. Always good provides for good entertainment.
I must confess I have a really hard time imagining a dwarf as a main protagonist in any fantasy media. I'm just too used to them being the gruff/snarky companion type of character. Never played a dwarf, probably won't in this either. (How can you resist githyanki?) Props to all you fellas giving the little dudes a moment in the limelight in your playthroughs though.
I love dwarves in RPGs. I played as one in pathfinder kingmaker. Who else but a stubborn dwarf could march into the stolen lands and bend it to his will? That tends to be my take when I play them. Where as when I am more diplomatic when I play humans, when the dwarf comes out...lines in the stone get drawn.
@@WolfheartFPS No I agree they're cool, it's just that I've never seen a fantasy story where the dwarf was the main character, the star of the show. They're always supporting characters, it seems. Maybe there are some novels or games like that, I've just not run into them.
Kartik Shrivastav Yea you are definitely right. I think from a money perspective it’s more viable to write books / make movies and games about “prettier” more relatable types of races. So the dwarves often get put on the bench :(
I always go the same thing in every d&d game I've played: half-elf ranger, spear and bow. Thinking about going something very different this time. Might go with a dwarf cleric. Which Deity should I choose?
@@HumanKatamari For Life Domain there is Moradin the Soulforger , Berronar the Revered Mother and Sharindlar Lady of Life and Mercy. Light Domain I didn't find a dwarf deity but their is Helm god of protection, Lathander god of birth and renewal, Milil god of poetry and song and Sune goddess of love and beauty. Finally for Trickery Domain there is Vergadain, called the Merchant King, is the god of thieves (who commands his followers never to steal from other dwarves)
I love how whenever anyone attempts to portray Dwarfs in a badass manner in any universe; DND, Tolkien, you name it, they use photos of Warhammer Dwarves.
Good video - just tiny thing I noticed, the red headed dwarf at about 3:20 is the famous Gotrek Gurnisson, who although a dwarf, is from Warhammer, rather than D&D. Keep up the good work though...
Rolan funny you noticed! Haha yes I actually know that I was just trying to show a good example of the bulkiness in a Dwarf. Guys got huge arms lol. Thanks!
Wolf Why don't you make a video about Character Creation where you create a character that your may be able to use in early access or final game, you could do it in the classic D&D Character Sheet or in D&D Beyond, an official digital toolset for D&D 5e. Is super easy to use but the problem is that you have to buy the Player's Handbook (or other books) on d&d beyond to be able to use their subclasses, subraces, Backgrounds, etc or only use the Basic Rules. An alternative is if you want, I can share you my content that I all ready buy by a feature that d&d beyond have. Therefore you can make characters with the content of the Player's Handbook and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes where are the Gith and the Tiefling Subraces. Thanks for today video.
Cool video! I've already decided I'm going for dwarf cleric for my first BG3 protagonist. Probably War domain, although I'd take Forge if they added it. But the important part is that she has heavy armour, a big hammer and the power of Moradin on her side.
yeah id like that too.. only thing is i want shadowheart in my party first playthrough, because im interested in her backstory. So i probably have to pick something else...
Playing a dwarven life domain cleric now. Pretty annoyed I have no proficiency in Great Axes & Large Hammers. I can use a 2 handed battle axe in 1 hand with a shield in the other, but I have absolutely no proficiency with anything above. I'm not super familiar with DND rules, but I assumed I was generally targeting those weapons by playing as the dwarf in the first place. Simple weapon proficiency alone feels janky with the build.
I have to ask something, the music in the background (it's start 2:48 ) whats the title ? BTW I love these baldur's gate/ DnD 5th lore vid's plus easy to understand! . Keep up the good work!
Tell me of these dwarven heroes, tell me of the Orcs they slew so many years ago. I’m never gonna read those books. I hate drizzt, I’m from drow that lived before him. When I see you’ve told these legends again I will come to hear you. I will not read that boys book. He is not of Dro’.
I’m thinking yes man for they are in the standard player handbook. So far it doesn’t seem like they are leaving much out from that. There will be 15 races at launch Larian has said, I’m not sure if that 15 includes the sub races or if there will be 15 core races plus sub races!
Just use Kili the Dwarf from the hobbit as your inspiration. He’s a god among Dwarves for making the beautiful elf Tauriel love him! Can’t say it would be easy to follow in his footsteps though... lol
Thats basically non-canon. Ever since 3e there have been no portrayals in canon of bearded dwarven women. Once Eberron came out, the lore explicitly stated that female dwarves do not have beards.
@@master-jager The creators of Eberron were cowards. Just proving how fragile some men's masculinity are, lol. Whenever I run a D&D game (or any other fantasy setting where dwarfs exists) it's canon that ALL genders of dwarfs can grow magnificent beards. Dwarfs has no time for the modern human's sexism, they have mines to mine and glorious battles to win!
Love the time you take to make these videos but I was the first thumbs down because you seem to feel the need to always insult some portion of your viewers during each upload. If that's what you're going for, then great. If not, think about it... there are few times necessary to insult others that is worth the payoff.
Hey man, just know that it is NEVER my intent to make someone feel offended or hurt in anyway. I’m a very laid back guy and I’ve always enjoyed jokes, even if they were directed at me. With that said I understand not everyone is the same, we are all different. I can respect that! So I appreciate your feedback and I will certainly keep your input in mind for the future. I’m the type of guy who will be one of the first people to laugh at a joke , but also be one of the first to stand up against someone who is targeting someone else with the intent of actually hurting someone. “Intent” is the key word for me. Hope you can understand that man! I appreciate you watching.

any news from Baldur's Gate 3, like an update on how they're getting on. During this lockdown would love to pass the time with early access of it :-)
Work hard, drink hard.
True, brews & beards 👍🏻
I usually work blue collar jobs, but not because I enjoy them. I'd like to punch my 20 year old self for dropping out of college, the idiot.
I play a dwarf rogue in a 5e campaign right now. I don't care if it's sub-optimal, it's just fun to play. If I get the opportunity in this game, I'll remake him in a heartbeat.
Alan Russette I like a real physical assassin type
Who cares about powergaming? I'm doing a playtrough in Icewind Dale EE with a full team of dwarves named after Thorin Oakenshield company. 👌
its not suboptimal, it's a known powerbuild for rogue. at lvl 1: 16/14/16 mi/ag/con makes for a very tanky rogue with medium armor.
@@mortaljokes Except that I didn't go strength based.
If there’s anything I’ve learned about bg3. It’s that you he meta build viability doesn’t matter. Play what you want and have fun.
"The badassness isn't shortened
It's distilled."
Hahahaha love it.
I'm glad you also mentioned the Duergar. My sorcerer ran into one at the beginning of his campaign in the Underdark. She was an exile who joined forces with him and helped him survive long enough to develop his abilities and meet the other future party members. Sadly she died very early on though.

100% man. Glad you appreciate that too. If we ever run together, I think we'll enjoy the way each other plays haha.
I'm really enjoying these videos. They're getting me excited for BG3 and also interested in the tabletop game. Great work, keep it up!
Hey thanks for letting me know! The world of DnD whether it be from the table top game , books, or video games, has a lot to offer.
Hebruixe I don’t even play the game but I ran across these vids and I love them

Agreed, I'll RP one online as a greedy henchman. Forgotten Realms video games original campaigns don't really have much compatible storylines.

haha I understand man. I felt the same way a long time ago, and then I read the Hobbit and the Dwarves forever changed in my mind!

What are the chances of the Duergar being a playable subrace in BG 3? The fact that they include Drow gives me hope
I know this is an old comment but it's a 100% guarantee that we'll get them at this point
the wolf sounds from Battle Brothers, can always hear the little ping after the howl.
Dwarfs are my favorite race in RPGs, going with a heavy armor dwarf paladin or cleric in BG 3 for sure.
I always go the same thing in every d&d game I've played: half-elf ranger, spear and bow. Thinking about going something very different this time. Might go with a dwarf cleric. Which Deity should I choose?

Love having people like you out there man! You're a true hero.
Dwarf Paladin is truly the way. I didnt pick my name for nothing
Foehammer all hail Foehammer!
i so hope dwarves will be given the figher subclass dwerven defender in bg3
My favorite dwarf was a azerblood but they make great druids too.
I love how whenever anyone attempts to portray Dwarfs in a badass manner in any universe; DND, Tolkien, you name it, they use photos of Warhammer Dwarves.
That’s because there’s not enough good pictures on the web man haha but yea the warhammer dwarves definitely look bad ass.
@@WolfheartFPS Absolute units, by all accounts. If only DND Dwarves were more like Warhammer's. What I wouldnt give to play as an oathbound slayer
Shade Jodoin they are man haha idk if you noticed but I specifically used a warhammer Dwarf when taking about how bulky they can be haha

Are these videos super quiet for anyone else? I have to turn my volume up to over double my usual level just when watching this channel.
Dwarf Druid. That is all.

Im just now finding out about this game.
Please do a Halfling Lore video if not done so already =) if one has been done I'm sorry for bringing this up lol

Long live Rugar the basher !
Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks Kostas!
I'm a Binwin Bronzebottom fan.
Obviously you have read the the elf books. I too am a huge fan . Have you read the cleric quintet by ra salvatore ? If not you should its very good.
T K I’ve heard of that series but have not started it yet! I shall make that happen, thank you.
Lol i had some players once that told me i looked like Bruenor lol
I hope they make gnomes a playable character in bg3 i have never created nor had a gnome in a party of any of my campaingns.
T K I feel like they will for they are a race that is in the core player handbook!
I have to ask something, the music in the background (it's start 2:48 ) whats the title ? BTW I love these baldur's gate/ DnD 5th lore vid's plus easy to understand! . Keep up the good work!
Thanks! The song is called “Desperate to Fail” by Deskant.
Lol, I guess Cersei lannister picked the wrong brother...
can dwarfs be Druids?
Hemlawk AKA EDK yes Hem! You’re best bet would be to choose the Hill Dwarf for you get that + 1 to Wisdom which is a druids spellcasting ability.
Hemlawk AKA EDK Yeah man, Hill Dwarves are the second best Druid in 5e.
Thibbledorf represent.
MY MAN
@@WolfheartFPS Dwarves are undoubtedly the best damn race.
Foehammer Thibbledotf... tell me of him.
Tell me of these dwarven heroes, tell me of the Orcs they slew so many years ago.
I’m never gonna read those books. I hate drizzt, I’m from drow that lived before him.
When I see you’ve told these legends again I will come to hear you. I will not read that boys book. He is not of Dro’.
Are gnomes likely to be a playable race in BG3? It just feels a bit weird that they haven't been mentioned yet.

Dwarves are BA!
More like grab your BEARD!
Drizzt the drow and Guinevere are the best.
athrogate!
Female dark cleric would be dope
The names of the bookd about dwarves???
The Legend of Drizzt book series has a lot of Dwarven culture throughout the series.
Thanks. Great channel. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
dont forbet about the boulderhoulder bros #dodad

He’s a legend!
