    I know Torb is a dwarf I just never made the connection that he's a dwarf because they were trying to include people with dwarfism. I thought it was just a Blizzard/WoW type thing where they're staying in their wheelhouse. Rein has giant pauldrons and Moira looks like an Elf. I thought it was just them doing them.

    Maybe I'm just stupid.

      No, its just them backtracking and trying to retcon their own design into being diverse, he's 100% just a fantasy dwarf but with technology, he speaks in the fantasy dwarf dialect with a slight tinge of Swedish in there, I'm pretty sure they felt the need to make a second Swedish character just because people pointed out how he's literally just a dorf.

      I thought the high amount of "Ability" diversity points was because of his prosthetic hand.
