Fur real?

... I thought it was just a Beta gag, like the Jetpacks...

Huh...

Why is it just Dwarf only? Is it because of the fact you can only play as a male Dwarf?
I guess that makes sense since I bet some people would want a female bare-chested option (giggity giggity)

I give this clothing option a kinky/10

Can we get one for elf females too please?

Bare-chested hobbits. Now imagine Lobelia. You're welcome.

Can you imagine the chaos this would bring if all races had that option? It would something like this:

Dwarves unite! Show that ale gut!

I laughed so hard I spit out my water! Thanks Rainothon!

this thread needs a NSFW tag.



if dwarves are born of stone, why do they have mammaries?


reminds me of an Elder Scrolls game... lizard women with boobs... and cat women with only two...

I can't even believe this is in the game. Tolkien just rolled over....

Heard it here first folks. Bare skin is lore-breaking.

ROFL...glad I wasn't drinking my tea...

love it. but how come the bare-chested dwarfs look masculine? what if my dwarf is female? :3
I really hope turbine can give it away on halloween or something

You all may not have noticed, but dwarves aren't necessarily male. There is no listed gender on the character creation screen and some of the dwarves in the game have rather high-pitched voices. It's just that you can't tell which are male and which are female. Now I'm questioning, why do only the male dwarves get to walk around without their shirt on?

Gimli: It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men.
Aragorn: [whispering] It's the beards.
Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!
[Eowyn laughs]
Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.

Dwarves do not spring from the stone fully formed, that's ridiculous. Just as ridiculous, in fact, as Sauron being a giant demon cat and dwarves being the bad guys and orcs not appearing in the books at all, both of which were also ideas that Tolkien had in the beginning). Tolkien continually rewrote and updated the LotR lore and his "latest" version (before he died) was that dwarves do not spring from the stone fully formed, but rather appear the same way that all other "natural" races spring, from a mommy and a daddy. In fact, the "goblins" in The Hobbit were "meant to be" orcs, Tolkien later said, but he hadn't gotten around to creating orcs yet at that point. What with the state of publishing back then Tolkien obviously had a much harder time going back and revising books than George Lucas has revising Star Wars. I can see it now, though, if things had been different, people wearing T-shirts proclaiming, "Frodo swung first!" People mocking Morgoth's "NOOOoooooo!" after Ungoliant attacked him, trying to get the Silmarils, after Tolkien went back to publish the prequel novels to the LotR books. Heh, I don't think people's anger with Tolkien would be that different than it was with Lucas, but Lucas published early and published often, unlike Tolkien who kept writing and rewriting in his house and whose books mainly (except for The Hobbit and LotR) weren't published until after his death, by his son Christopher.

If I wanted bare chested men and scantily clad women I'd play Conan.

It's absurd to put that garbage into Middle Earth., it just cheapens this game....

I wasn't going to get this because my Dorf is female, but...

That's what dresses are for!

Probably best not to hold any breath for shirtless ladies, dwarves or otherwise

I love it!! I am total getting it for my dorfs the fact that it will totally annoy my daughter when we play together, is just an added bonus

Male dwarves are the sexiest classes. Every female wants to braid my back hair and I'm almost scared to take off my shirt because I know I will be chased by hordes of female hobbits.

Still though, I'm not sure if this is good for Middle Earth. Males from other races will just get increasingly jealous and angry at the dwarves and we will have no end to the strife:-/

bare-chested dwarves working in a mine or a field somewhere wouldn't be lore-breaking. walking around in the middle of bree? probably lore-breaking.

at any rate, the sight of a half-naked dwarf anywhere in the game would probably spoil my immersion. TOO MUCH SEXY

I always thought Dwarves were more modest than this.

we is amused


GOLUM GOLUM

/sarcasm on

Yes folks, the ability to take off a shirt is completely lore-breaking. Tolkien NEVER wrote about a character removing his or her shirt; so we must assume that something in Middle Earth makes it impossible to disrobe. (Insert EXTREMELY passive-aggressive statement about the devs ruining Tolkien's work here)

+rep....

Here's my lass trying out the look.

So, where's the female version?

Well now I have every reason ever to roll a Dwarf.

Bare-chested AND actual phrases-as-cries instead of "Yeeaarrrgh!"?

I wish this was real. Bare-chested Dwarves need to be added to LOTRO!

Clearly Turbine is taking a more agressive stance in getting me to go VIP.


Well played Turbine ... well played.

And thus, LOTRO cemented its place in gaming history as The Greatest MMO of All Time. It was not due to any expansion or any quirk of game mechanics. It was simply the titillation of topless Dwarfs.

"I shall never forget the day. Our entire server battling in Mordor. Naked. It still brings a tear to my eye to this day. It's a story I tell my grand-kids for christmas." - quote from some creepy guy.

Please. Age of Conan has been topless (male and female -- humans!) since launch and free-to-play since shortly after launch. This really is no big deal, it's not some big history-shaking event, it doesn't give LotRO a new place in gaming history.

In case you couldn't tell, my post was done in jest

And if even half of what I heard about AoC is true, the topless gimmick was about the only thing going for it.
Funcom, you so silly!

but Cerridwen spoiled it for me, his/her dwarf lass looks like my girl! (is it so wrong to hope there's a more feminine alternative like a corset? I just really want to see my dwarf in a flattering cosmetic, this one works for male dwarves only, I think )

@Rufus_T_Fyrfly LOL good one

I always thought Dwarves wouldn't even notice, save in the sense of "Silly git, not wearing armour when there's battles to be fought..."

Oh, she looks good, imo; though she does look a bit suffering. I mean... it could've been worse...
