In what ways do WAR’s dwarfs deviate from the standard fantasy stereotype of dwarves (Tolkienesque, stubborn, drink ale, talk Scottish, use axes, etc.)?

What as an Orc/Dwarf will make me want to hate the other side? What kind of narratives are you implementing to make me want to fight the enemy, and do you feel confident in you, and your team’s handling of the first shreds of hate in your adventure?

What steps have been taken to make sure that the Greenskin capital city is as interesting (both aesthetically and content-wise) as the other capital cities in the game?

I know that it is unlikely that dwarves growing long beards and greenskins getting bigger is unlikely at launch, but any chance of it being implemented later on?

Looking back at the other healing classes, melee combat (Warrior Priest and Disciple), and a scaling healing/nuking (Shaman and Archmage) feature has been implemented to empower healing. Runepriests have been described as being preemptive in their healing and buffing with runes. What balancing has been implemented to prevent “botting” of the Runepriest due to the nature of it’s play style?

From where in Warhammer lore is the Dwarf Ale-powered Steamkart Mount derived, and which wonderful member of the Mythic team do I get to thank for allowing my future Rune Priest to ride in such style? =D

Dwarf Hammerer:
What is the mechanic of this class? Stances? Style Chains? build-and-burn power? a Berzerk mode? Positionals?

1) You have stated that other races will not be able to jump over the smaller races like Dwarfs and Goblins because you made them or their armor reach a height so it can not happen. The question then becomes will these two races have an inherent advantage in RvR due to their lack of size? For example, if there is tall grass around, wouldn’t a Goblin be able to almost hide in the grass giving him the early jump on other careers?

2) When do you project the new Warhammer Cinematic to be completed, and which of the Greenskin careers will be present in the video?

3) Will we get a chance to see the Greenskin Collector’s Edition faces before the game launches? I know we have seen one already but I am referring to the others.

4) Are the Greenskins restricted to their specific mounts from the most recent screens? What I mean is will the Goblin only be able to ride the wolf or will he be able to ride the boar as well?

5) As I am not sure of the actual mechanics behind the Squigs, would it be possible to send in a pet Squig from a distance and shoot a handful of arrows, and then as they get past the Squig you summon the “Battle Squig” before they can get to you for some extra ‘pop’?

6) Will there ever be multiple variations of Squigs or will every Battle Squig look the same, every Horned Squig look the same, and so on?

7) Can the Orcapult still launch players into combat or is it just a ‘launch the boulder’ type of siege weapon? There have been rumors floating around the launching players have been scratched.

Warhammer miniatures are made from various materials, do you guys and gals know offhand what it is made out of, how much it weighs, and how tall the figure is?

As far as the Over all role of the Greenskin vs. Dwarf campaign how big of A part in the Overall story of the game does it play? Or are all of the armies there own campaign within a bigger campaign, and does this mean that you will only be playing with your Greenskin/Dwarf brethren for a portion of the game?

Will our Gobbo Squig Herders be able to “customize” their squig to fulfil different duties?
For example a Herder that focuses on a high damage output and therefore requires more personal protection will be able to “customize” his squig in order to tank for him and the other way round.

1) Will the Greenskin animosity tests from the tabletop be implemented into WAR. IE when you have greenskin NPC allies will they fight with each other, meaning we need to go break it up.

2) Will Greenskin NPCs start off stupid in the low level tiers and ‘grow’ smarter as you progress through tiers and increase in WAAAGH! numbers; or are NPC intellgence the same through tiers and races.

3) The shaman bio states that they grow stronger with nearby greenskins. Do NPCs or only PCs count towards this. Will this also not be a disadvangte or large advangte depending on how large the bonus is.

4) Is the currency among all races the same, or will Greenskins actually be able to use their teeth currency.

5) Will Dwarfs and Greenskins come with accents?

6) How will you ensure that the conflict remains balance at tier 4 - How will you make sure that if it only remains a Dwarf vs Greenskin fight that class design will not help one sides. Ironbreakers seem to be the toughest tank so far, while Runepriests appear like they can be caught out if unprepared for large scale warfare and Shaman bonus would be at maximum provide a large increase.

7) What kind of fun activites do you have planned for the region, most have heard of the orcapult will there be other types of mindless fun planned.

I personally want to know:
How I’m gonna be the meanest, leannest, baddest, greenest runnin on painless heels, could care less about my genius, I break ya status as I swing this stainless steel?

In other words, what am I going to be able to do to my looks so that my enemies cry and my allies fear me?
