Giancarlo and his Hug House Hero of Fereldan have made it through the Orzammar questline, so obviously we have to talk about what even is going on with the dwarves in this game. Also, we mention in this episode that there are no romance-able dwarves in the series, but it was recorded in June 2023, before we knew that the gorgeous gorgeous girl Scout Lace Harding could be romanced in the upcoming Dreadwolf!
