    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.

    The dwarves are all regular size, the humans are giants.  You should be ok.

    @Abyssfull:  Yes, I also tend to stay away from Mario games because that's a little too short 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.

    Can you explain your phobia? And no, you cannot avoid dwarfs.

    How do you know that we're not all midgets. Plotting against you. Watching you right now. Touching ourselves.

    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.

    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.

    Don't buy Dragon Age then. Because not only is there a Dwarven character who joins your party. There is also an entire Dwarven city that you have to go to.
