Why are Dwarves and Elves always enemies in fantasy games? Who came up with this shit?

>>Dwarves
>Bro tier

I wouldn't say enemies. More like rivals. Both races specialize in crafting with a particular type of material: mithril, adamantine. And they live their ways in very different ways. Elves stick to the forests and live with nature, while dwarves live in their mountain homes and mine the hell out of everything.

Dwarves are just another species of male goblin, trolls, etc, it makes sense that they are kill on sight for any human-like beings such as elves.
>>
>>729373865
elves live longer so dwarves have to catalogue their grudges towards elves.

Who came up with this shit?
Mostly Tolkien
>>
>>729373865
Read a book, Alphie.
In Tolkien's seminal (that means it planted the seeds that the genre grew on) fantasy classic 'The Hobbit', the central figures of the Dwarfish inhabitants of the Lonely Mountain feel abandoned by the Elfen King Thranduil from nearby Mirkwood who left them to their destruction at the hands of Smaug who had come to the Mountain to take it and its treasures.
Thranduil did this because he felt wronged by the Dwarfs from how they treated his people in the past, and the Dwarfs of the past probably mistreated the Elfs of the past because they felt wronged and so on and so forth. It's just a cycle of grudges that carries the simple to decipher message of generational hate being destructive and stupid.

And since literally everything that features Elfs and Dwarfs or is even remotely fantasy that's been made in the last century is inspired by Toklien this trope has survived.

>>729373865
If you knew how bad elves really are you'd understand why dwarves hate them.
>>
>>729373865
I cant think of a single game where they actually are enemies that isnt some 4x where everyone is.

They just like insulting each other and are usually artisan rivals

pretty common in many, but not all warhammer games

Divinity: Dragon Commander. It's an RTS/political sim where you play a shapeshifting dragon and have to end a succession crisis by winning a civil war. Near the start of the game, you'll be prompted to marry one of several princesses - the girl in question is the dwarf princess.

Warhammer Fantasy. Granted, with high elves they are willing to work together. They'll grumble, and you shouldn't let them camp closely. But they still understand Chaos/undead/greenskins/Skaven/Dark elves are the greater evil.
