Lots of people are complaining about needing more storage space in their houses (me included). Basements have been mentioned by several. My thoughts would be maybe an underground or cave dwelling race. This would give the option to have some kind of escavation tool or something allowing us to dig basements under the house for storage, but rather than making it to where you HAVE to upgrade to have this option (as with ML extra housing) make it something you can buy from an NPC. Something that HAS to be locked down by the owner of the house that will give you access under the house, kinda like the holes to the solen hive. Just my thoughts.

So long as it's not Dwarves, Half-Orcs or Halflings...

you got a problem with short people?

Nah. They're great for putting your ale on.

Well... except dwarves. They'll drink the aforementioned ale. Come to think of it, there aren't a lot of uses for dwarves.

Some of us actually LIKE the idea of Dwarves. Just like some of us like our Elves. Like me. +1 post count!

Dwarves, like elves, fit into the lore. So do bobbits and fuzzies.

No.

Dwarves and Elves existed in Ultima 1 through 3. Other things which existed in Ultima 1 through 3 included...

The Soviet Union
Rocketships
A "Computer Camp" on the planet Venus
San Antonio
Paul McCartney
Space combat
The fast-food restaraunt "McRonald's"
Hotel California

Then with Ultima 4, all of those things were thrown out specifically for being ripoffs or just plain stupid. So don't look at all that early-game garbage and call it "part of the lore" just because you need an excuse to shovel more Dungeons and Dragons crap into Ultima.

I'll accept dwarves as soon as you patch in the USSR, a couple of the Beatles, and my rocketship. Until then it's pretty clear that the existence of elves and dwarves in the old Ultima games is just coincidence. I wonder what excuse you'll make up a couple years from now when you patch in Tauren or something.

Kaghash - that was sort of my point

Well then I apologize, but go log into UO and look at the blue elf ninja sitting at Brit bank, wearing neon yellow samurai armor and riding a polar bear. The lore of this game has been so throroughly debased that I was more than willing to take bobbits and fuzzies seriously.
