: True, though I don't particularly think it has to do with

: Scotland it certainly appeared that any gift for
: sprinting naked over snowy mountain slopes derives

I thought the speed was to do with their hit-and-run tactics they employed in the highlands.

: puzzling that Bungie didn't include this--it seems to
: me that a 3-foot-tall Dwarf should be majorly impeded
: when trying to clamber through a foot of snow. This

I agree, Bungie should have done that.
