    Thumbs down Gender dysphoric bug in Update 7

    Looks like gender dysphoria has come to Turbine's version of Middle Earth.

    Do the instance The Sunset Storm in the Brown Lands and wait till you get to fight your way through the second ward. You'll see what I mean about gender dysphoria within seconds. The enemies here are all marked Blue Caste SORCERESS (female human) despite very obviously being SORCERORS (male human).

    Saddest thing is, I can't even bring myself to laugh about it any more... just seen too many dumbass bugs in the past few months.

    EDIT: and yes, I /bugged it!

    I don't remember cross-dressing as lore-inappropriate behavior. We see it all the time with male characters being able to put on dresses.

    But that's in the game, not in the books (the source of true Lore). Still, the fact that members of other races can't tell male from female Dwarves indicates that, at the very least, Dwarves dress unisex. At least, when they're out in public. (Yes, the interiors of Thorin's Hall, Moria, e.g., count as "public," since non-Dwarves are to be found there.)

    Welcome to the world of German-client-players. Some of our dwarves in Moria still have problems with their gender

    Silly me - I thought female dwarves were recognisable through their habit of using ribbons in their axes...

    It's not so much the dress-wearing that's the issue. I think all dorfs need fixxed.

    Anyone that's not a dwarf has problems with recognising what gender a dwarf is. That's as true in Tolkien's world as it is in Terry Pratchett's lol
