I personally don't usually play dwarves just because I'm not a fan of being the race. I don't have anythin' against dwarfs it's just that they don't come off as something I enjoy playing. In say DnD sense if I want a mage they're almost always better as humans and elves. If I want a beserker I'd want to pick a human or orc. A dwarf is always very stout and has a lot of health and stuff it's just that humans get early bonuses in exchange for lacking things and Orcs...well they're freaking orcs you don't fuck with a orc holding a massive sword.
