Your followers will react to the kind of person you are, and the choices you make. There's not an aspect of this game that doesn't affect how a player views himself, or how the game environment views him. A character can start as a human or as one of the non-human races. Selecting different races will have an effect on the character's stats and abilities. Dwarf - These are short, stocky, bearded people who tend to be miners and builders.
Dwarves dislike elves but are respectful to humans and gnomes.
Elves can be rather arrogant to all races, but they especially disdain dwarves. They are equally at home in cities, underground or in the forest. They make good merchants and traders and often act as go-betweens for the other races. Halfling - Halflings are short people, smaller even than gnomes and dwarves, although they tend to be overweight. They live in isolated communities in large underhill homes and try to stay out of the politics of the bigger folk.
