I like, but don't love, RPGs. My concern is that I suffer from achondroplasiaphobia (fear of midgets). I know there are dwarves in this game, so that's why I'm hesitant to play it. Can I avoid the dwarves completely? Just to give you an idea of the severity of my syndrome, I had to walk out of the theater when I watched Lord of the Rings. Also, I went into convulsions during Austin Powers (Mini-Me was way too much for me). I accidentally saw a re-run of Different Strokes and Gary Coleman made me run out of the house in my underwear. So is there a way to ensure that I don't run into any dwarves (or any other little people/creatures for that matter) in this game? I have Xbox 360. Thanks.
Dragon Age: Origins
Game » consists of 20 releases. Released Nov 03, 2009
Dragon Age: Origins is an epic fantasy role-playing game featuring a rich story, personality-driven characters, and tactical, bloody combat. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series.
Is this game for me?
Really? Uh, no sale from me. Seriously, don't these developers take into account people with achondroplasiaphobia? They're completely losing that market." They hide inside of barrels and pop out when you least expect it. Its a true nightmare. "
Now this is the sort of thread I love. Let me just get a beer so I can kick back and watch this awesomeness progress. Ready? And go.
" Can you explain your phobia? And no, you cannot avoid dwarfs. "It's just a fear of midgets. Actually, I believe that term is not socially acceptable anymore, so it's a fear of small people. Interestingly, they have to be adults; I'm fine around babies and small children. Whenever a small person walks into a room, I break into a cold sweat, my back starts itching, I get scared that they will start chasing me, and I need to leave the area as soon as possible. I don't have anything personal against small people, in fact at one point I used to like them and wondered if I could purchase them as pets. But now, no way.
