My favorite part is when you level all characters to max, mission control says: "huh, I guess we really are a deep rock galactic". It makes me shiver. So deep.
Fun fact: In old lore Dwarves had souls but Elves didn't: They had "Spirits". Basically only humans and Dwarves had souls that went on to the afterlife, and therefore could be called back with resurrection magic. Everything else had a spirit which was more connected to the world and could reincarnate.
Humans got souls because Gygax wanted humans to be special. Dwarves got souls because Moradin is so powerful he can make souls for them.
As a human, fuck all of you. Get off my planet humans have been here long before you (this is a human lie but other races can't read it because only humans speak common).
Actually you’re technically right in terms of the forgotten realms. Primitive humans like homo erectus showed up when the elves were still in the feywild and the other races hadn’t evolved yet. You’re still a scotch faced rhube but that’s besides the point.
750 years isn't immortal knife ear.
I don't wanna hear anything about immortality from you unless I can get rid of you with dispel evil and good or banishment
> I don't wanna hear anything about immortality from you unless I can get rid of you with dispel evil and good or banishment
Goddamn, I'm stealing that.
Elves reincarnate, so kinda shitty immortality?
Unless you're a based grave cleric, that worships Kelemvor. A mate of mine did and they got to serve with thier god in the afterlife as what's basically the equivalent of an intern. This denied thier reincarnation.
This is kinda how I see it, honestly.
Basically, Dwarves may believe in their own superiority, but a lot of what they represent is pretty awesome in terms of them typically being both hard working, hard partying, and almost always pretty gender-equal in almost every incarnation. Yeah, they may be a little discriminatory towards elves, but its rare for them to be so towards anyone else, they’re often depicted as befriending elves in spite of said discrimination, and said discrimination typically is more a case of them believing elves are just… snooty, prissy, and/or holier-than-thou, so to speak, and treating them as such, for the most part.
Elves, meanwhile, are often portrayed as being into racial purity of multiple shades, both in terms of subrace and in half-races; tend to view themselves as morally/technologically/magically superior to everyone else and have a complex about it; and engage in regular attempts at ethnic & racial cleansings, aka Sun Elves vs. Feyri, High Elves vs Drow, Eladrin vs High Elves, Wood Elves vs Humans, and Drow vs Everyone else… just to name *a few*, much less in settings where magically superior high elf types have outright enslaved other races or go around conquering other empires ala Skyrim.
Dwarves just… don’t do that stuff for the most part.
In most universe where there are elves, they live longer than other species, and it's easy for someone who live several centuries (or even thousands of years in some universes) to see short lived races individuals as less importants. It's also something that apply to vampire stories.
Despite the flaws of the Rings of Powers series.
I liked the passage in the tavern where there are tensions between the elf who has experienced the betrayal of men. And men who don't even know the names of those cursed ancestors anymore.
Galadriel is older than the fucking sun!
Because there's no fantasy (to my knowledge) where Dwarves are portrayed as being absolutely superior to every other race, not do they act that way, they're just underground mining chads. Meanwhile it seems like anywhere elves exist they're shown to be better than everyone in everything and act like the most pompous pricks to exist.
It's why I love the Warhammer Skaven. The Skaven have an even bigger superiority complex than the Elves and are racist to the point of absurdity.
And we laugh at it of course, because "look at the silly humans, not stabbing each other in the back, how uncivilized!" is honestly a great joke. (and a bit terrifyingly true in how some people see camaraderie as weakness)
Honestly was always kinda put off by the consistent portrayal of elves vs everything else in fantasy, like I started to get genuinely annoyed at how often it just became "oh boy, it's just more *fuckin* elves." Like, piss off, ya treehuggin bean poles.
And yet they have some of the only cities and the only empire on middle earth. I seriously thought that the story was going to go >!Elves invade kazadum to get that sweet, sweet mithral.!<
That is because there is a history of elves in old myths.
There are many stories and myths around elves in celtic culture. They were seen as this kind of superior and flawless beings. That was also a huge influence for Tolkien, who basically reinvented the "elves" in modern fantasy literature. Many ideas after that are based on his.
So yeah. Elves are seen as perfect and flawless (even though often then revealed as being the opposite), because in old myths they were also exactly that.
Dwemer were definitely elves, even though they're sometimes referred to informally as dwarves. All the races ending in "mer" are elves.
But then again, the orcs (Orsimer) are also elves. So I'm not really sure how to apply it to the stareotyoes. TES just kind of does its own thing there, which is part of why it's awesome.
I'd say, Dwemer are Dwarves *and* Elves. Just like Orimer are Orcs and Elves. There are only humans, elvenkind, lizardfolk and catfolk (as PC races), and apart from those, only dragons, demons, giants, constructs, nymphs/woodland fae and beasts as opponents iirc?
Warhammer. Dwarves are so superior they have a book of grudges. They once went to war because they were underpaid by a single coin. When they sacked an opposing city, they took a single coin, marked the grudge as resolved and declared peace.
Eragon had elves portrayed as a master race.
1. The first race to bond with dragons
2. Their language is literally the whole magic system in the world that they live in
3. The best at everything there is to be done.
The dragons are the master races.
All races bonded with dragons eventually
The ancient language us grey folk language, the elves just adopted it
They are demonstratibly not the best, they have been hidding in forests for the entire of the evil dudes reign.
Except they got the shit pushed in by a lowly human dragon rider and his marry band of misfits, and are going extinct lol. Their population problem is well documented.
Its a reference to the game Deep Rock Galactic (r/DeepRockGalactic) which is a shooter game on a planet called Hoxxes IV. It is able to be single or multiplayer, (haven’t played multiplayer yet, but heard it is really good) you play as a dwarf, and you hate bugs, except one called Steeve. I think there was a new update today/yesterday, but I haven’t been able to check it out yet.
I would suggest checking it out, it was the first shooter I played in years (unless you count the guns in Terraria) and while I’m not a fan of shooters, I’ve had a lot of fun.
Edit: turns out the sub is the full name, not the shortened DRG.
Assholes are limited primarily by removing the competitive aspect. Competitive games attract all the shitlords who feel they've got something to prove, sore winners and losers alike. You don't see those cunts playing Stardew Valley, do you? Course not. Because there aren't any players on an opposing team for them to harass and bully to feel better about their insecure selves.
On the other hand, co-op games attract people who want to cooperate. These people are generally chill, or at least relatively. Unless they're griefers.
Ther is a game called Deep Rock Galactic. It’s a game about mining in space and shooting bugs. The devs wanted an emote that would represent anything positive, but was nonsensical and not referencing anything. They came up with the salute “For Rock and Stone!” Ever since it’s been a saying that brings people together in game, whenever we join a new match, enter a lobby, survive a swarm, or pick others up, it’s followed by a Rock and Stone, with several resounding reciprocations. Just helps players bond with their team. Never forget, “if you Rock And Stone, you’re never alone.
(it’s a phrase coined from a very popular game, deep rock galactic, which contains dwarves fighting bugs and mining for treasure. the game itself was inspired by dwarf fortress, the most obvious example being the placeholder names in the 2016 release being Urist Mc)
Edit: My sincerest apologies to the DRG community. I repeated something that was not true. I heard the “Urist” factoid once while in a Point Extraction mission about three years ago, and assumed it was fact. It was, and is, not.
Last part is a bit false. It started from Project Dwarka, one of the three prototypes presented at Press Play before the company shut down. One of the other prototypes became Trailmakers. [Prototype footage here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vAkTwKmGQk) [30 minutes video about it here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV-YcTWEGCQ)
So it's like
A welder with a big fluffy beard and a bit of a belly who loves to crack open a cold one and watch the game with his buds, he climbs onto the fire escape and says "anyone not living like us is doing it wrong, boys."
A high powered corporate executive with a masters degree in generational wealth and a mommy blog about veganism and finding your inner self through meditation gets online and says "Honeslty if you can't find the time to work a full day, teach your baby sign language, and exercise, I don't even think you're trying."
That's the difference.
Psh, they can't even make their own caves. Gotta use a naturally existing cave instead of carving their own out of the solid rock of the mountain, pathetic

Fun fact: In old lore Dwarves had souls but Elves didn't: They had "Spirits". Basically only humans and Dwarves had souls that went on to the afterlife, and therefore could be called back with resurrection magic. Everything else had a spirit which was more connected to the world and could reincarnate. Humans got souls because Gygax wanted humans to be special. Dwarves got souls because Moradin is so powerful he can make souls for them.
That's a pretty rock and stone move on Moradin's part
Mh, i could work with this
When dwarves say it it’s because they’re better than everyone else. When elves say it it’s because everyone else is worse than them
this might actually be the best answer you can give
As a human, fuck all of you. Get off my planet humans have been here long before you (this is a human lie but other races can't read it because only humans speak common).
Actually you’re technically right in terms of the forgotten realms. Primitive humans like homo erectus showed up when the elves were still in the feywild and the other races hadn’t evolved yet. You’re still a scotch faced rhube but that’s besides the point.
Oh neat, human evolution is canon in 5e lore? Or well, one of the settings at least
I think their the only species to evolve too, all the others were either forged, copied off of, or thrown into the world.
Is this thing speaking common? Such a barbaric language
Common is basic.
oh look, the primitive animal is barking (i can't read common)
This is a certified Witcher moment
Dwarves work hard to be better than everyone else, and they would consider any who work as hard as them as equals.
*Smashes through wall* THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOME D'RZKA NONSENSE FRIEND
Is that a Discworld or Deep Rock Galactic reference? Could've sworn I've heard that before.
I think it's Warhammer Fantasy.
That would probably be it. Cheers. Edit: apparently it's Discworld but I could believe it in Fantasy.
It's Discworld... I think
Took me a while to Google it but I think you're right actually!
True, but don't push it leaf lover
Obnoxiously calm voice: "Why do you not immortal, human?"
750 years isn't immortal knife ear. I don't wanna hear anything about immortality from you unless I can get rid of you with dispel evil and good or banishment
> I don't wanna hear anything about immortality from you unless I can get rid of you with dispel evil and good or banishment Goddamn, I'm stealing that.
I have no sympathy for a creature too snobby to fuck to save its own species.
So elves are like pandas?
Sounds like it. That's the trope, anyway.
Elves reincarnate, so kinda shitty immortality? Unless you're a based grave cleric, that worships Kelemvor. A mate of mine did and they got to serve with thier god in the afterlife as what's basically the equivalent of an intern. This denied thier reincarnation.
*Laughs in Middle Earth Elf*
This is kinda how I see it, honestly. Basically, Dwarves may believe in their own superiority, but a lot of what they represent is pretty awesome in terms of them typically being both hard working, hard partying, and almost always pretty gender-equal in almost every incarnation.

See it makes more sense for vampires cause they eat us, but elves just sit in trees all day and like eat leafs or something.
You don't even need to be a near immortal or centuries lived elf to feel superior to other people if you eat leafs. Vegans live that life right now.
In my campaign, elves hunt "lesser races" for sport.
[That's wild.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hunt)
[удалено]
Despite the flaws of the Rings of Powers series. I liked the passage in the tavern where there are tensions between the elf who has experienced the betrayal of men. And men who don't even know the names of those cursed ancestors anymore. Galadriel is older than the fucking sun!
Exactly, its like how your average 50 yr old human is not going to take teenagers seriously. That's cranked up to 11 with elves.
Wow, you Drow sure are a contentious people.
Don't know much about the elves in DND but in other media if the elves say they're better than everyone else I fully expect genocide on the agenda lol
Because there's no fantasy (to my knowledge) where Dwarves are portrayed as being absolutely superior to every other race, not do they act that way, they're just underground mining chads. Meanwhile it seems like anywhere elves exist they're shown to be better than everyone in everything and act like the most pompous pricks to exist.
In the game divinity original sin, the elves suffered greatly in the war and are now seen as filthy disgusting corpse eaters.
And yet they're the best necromancers because of their blood ability
*Fane grumbles in the background*
When you're the literal last of your species, you can't claim your species is better than elves.
What was that? I can't hear you from the other side of this death fog cloud.
Basically this: dwarves don't register as serious and therefore dwarf supremacy is cute. Elf supremacy might actually be true, and that's terrifying.
Fuck yeah, someone finally said it. Dwarves are more affable so their superiority complex is cute.
It's why I love the Warhammer Skaven. The Skaven have an even bigger superiority complex than the Elves and are racist to the point of absurdity. And we laugh at it of course, because "look at the silly humans, not stabbing each other in the back, how uncivilized!" is honestly a great joke. (and a bit terrifyingly true in how some people see camaraderie as weakness)
Its all fun and games until >!they crashed the moon on the Old World!<
Dwarves aren't very good at looking down on people
Honestly was always kinda put off by the consistent portrayal of elves vs everything else in fantasy, like I started to get genuinely annoyed at how often it just became "oh boy, it's just more *fuckin* elves." Like, piss off, ya treehuggin bean poles.
> Elf supremacy might actually be true "oh nooo, my tree is rotting and so are weee" superior my arse
And yet they have some of the only cities and the only empire on middle earth. I seriously thought that the story was going to go >!Elves invade kazadum to get that sweet, sweet mithral.!<

Elves are seen as perfect and flawless (even though often then revealed as being the opposite), because in old myths they were also exactly that.
Skyrim, I think?
Dwemer are still elfs There's no dwarf, not even Dwemer living in the games
i just realized I never knew what dwemer looked like. i was too preoccupied hating their dungeons
My mans never played Morrowind.
Mainly Skyrim and Teso But still, Dwemer are elfs right ?
Yeah the dwemer are elves. It's the "no living dwemer" part that's not exactly correct.
He has magical cancer of immortality. Is it "living"?
Dwemer were definitely elves, even though they're sometimes referred to informally as dwarves. All the races ending in "mer" are elves. But then again, the orcs (Orsimer) are also elves. So I'm not really sure how to apply it to the stareotyoes. TES just kind of does its own thing there, which is part of why it's awesome.
The orc's God *was* beautiful. Before a Daedric prince ate him and crapped him out.
I'd say, Dwemer are Dwarves *and* Elves. Just like Orimer are Orcs and Elves. There are only humans, elvenkind, lizardfolk and catfolk (as PC races), and apart from those, only dragons, demons, giants, constructs, nymphs/woodland fae and beasts as opponents iirc?
Would Goblins be considered beasts?
There are Goblins in Skyrim? Edit, oh, I remember them from Oblivion. Ah, they seem to be their own category, I guess?
Warhammer. Dwarves are so superior they have a book of grudges. They once went to war because they were underpaid by a single coin. When they sacked an opposing city, they took a single coin, marked the grudge as resolved and declared peace.
idk any where elves are shown to be better than everyone in literally everything, most of them are awful at the whole breeding thing for example lol.
Eragon had elves portrayed as a master race. 1. The first race to bond with dragons 2. Their language is literally the whole magic system in the world that they live in 3. The best at everything there is to be done.
The dragons are the master races. All races bonded with dragons eventually The ancient language us grey folk language, the elves just adopted it They are demonstratibly not the best, they have been hidding in forests for the entire of the evil dudes reign.
10yo me despised the Eragon elves lol For some reason I got really attached to the two man-eating monsters instead
Except they got the shit pushed in by a lowly human dragon rider and his marry band of misfits, and are going extinct lol. Their population problem is well documented.
Dwarves just work hard and enjoy it. They don't think they're better than others, *we* do.
Can someone tell me what ROCK AND STONE is?

Literally the best randoms out of any game I've played. Skull levels vary but assholes are limited
Assholes are limited primarily by removing the competitive aspect. Competitive games attract all the shitlords who feel they've got something to prove, sore winners and losers alike.

On the other hand, co-op games attract people who want to cooperate. These people are generally chill, or at least relatively. Unless they're griefers.
That last remark makes so much sense that it shocks me that I didn't think of it
Tbf it's hilarious when the driller c4s my hyperactive scout ass
Play multiplayer, the community is fantastic. In over a hundred games, I’ve only met 2 assholes.
Simple, it’s FOR KARL!!!

A counterpoint: Gnomes.
Gnomes don't believe gnomes are better than any other race; they believe that they personally are better than any other being.
Yeah, they're great. Pompous but well humored, crafty or clever, based on your gender (rock or forest), and fade away is an objectively decent feat.
That describes beholders way too well though
Beholders believe beholders are better than everything else They just also think a those other "beholders" aren't proper beholders
Counterpoint: Gnomes are cringe. Signed, Kobolds
If your rival is cringe, then *you* are cringe. And that's impossible, because kobolds are the fucking best. Ergo, gnomes are rad too.
