One of the biggest gribes I have with fantasy settings is that people in a race have 1 personality ever. Dwarves are surly, elves aloof, etc

@ZoeQuinnzel If you're pointing at Tolkien, I would argue that his races had personality.
@ExpedientTurnip They did but it was ONE personality per race

@ZoeQuinnzel I guess what I'm saying is that Tolkien's characters weren't all archetypes, but fantasy now has fallen to that -
@ExpedientTurnip yeah that's more what I mean - it's gotten distilled in to a cliche singularity -
@ZoeQuinnzel Ok, but don't try to pin Tolkien under that failings of others. I got his back .-.
