[QUOTE="Aeric, post: 3823746, member: 17012"] My first impression of dwarves being Scottish came from Warhammer. The ever-present troll slayer in that game is usually depicted with bright orange hair, a crazy beard, stripey Celtic pants, and similarly-Celtic tattoos on his face, chest, and arms. While I realize that Celtic does not necessarily equal Scottish, that was the only connection my brain could make. Apparently a lot of other people made that connection too. Without the crazy Scotsman stereotype, I think dwarves would be mighty boring. They would be serious and dour all the time, no fun at all. I would play the standard dwarven NPCs like that, but the dwarven adventurer would have to be a little crazy to depart from the rigid and lawful dwarf society. After spending the past 100+ years being very proper and straight-laced, I'd cut loose like nobody's business too! [/QUOTE]
