Dwarves are an awesome character race in fantasy fiction and role playing games, so why can’t you be a dwarf in Skyrim? History of Dwarves in Skyrimĭespite the fact that you can’t officially be a dwarf in Skyrim, this special race does make its presence known throughout the game. What fantasy dwarves lack in height, they more than make up for in physical strength, stamina, and skill at arms. I can remember many a fine Saturday afternoon playing Dungeons and Dragons with my crew and role playing Kahstan’dur, a dwarf fighter with a penchant for two-handed attacks and strong ale.
Dwarves have been a staple in fantasy fare since the days of Grimm’s fairy tales and Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
