By skyforbes I might get roasted for this, and maybe it's not the right subreddit, but what the hey. I get that Dwarf Fortress is an incredible example of procedural generation and colony sim and roguelike design, but I just don't have any desire to play as a short king/queen. What is it about dwarves that seems to attract so many devs and gamers? Even aside from DF, I've seen many other games, even outside of colony builders or rogue-likes, that force the player to be a dwarf. Is there something I'm missing?
