Dragon Age - Dwarven Noble Hands-on

We've seen the Human Noble preview, now IGN takes a look at how Dragon Age starts for Dwarven Nobles.  As before, spoilers may apply:

On first glance, the dwarves in Dragon Age are your typical Tolkienseque folk; once a great empire, they now live in one or two cities underground where they busy themselves with mining, crafting, and growing beards. Unlike J.R.R. Tolkien's dwarves, there are definitely female dwarves in Dragon Age (without the beards). But what's really interesting about Dragon Age's stout little folk is the degree of political intrigue. There's a delicious amount of backstabbing going on in the dwarven noble prologue, and all the political machinations remind us of novels such as Dune or A Game of Thrones.
