I have played a few dwarves in D&D who tended to like weapons that were larger than themselves- usually two-hand axes. (Overcompensate much?)
Not really. They're out to prove all the snottier, prettier, taller races that a smaller humanoid can handle their own preferred weapons in a superior way. No wonder preferred class is Fighter; they're built for manufacture and warfare, not ballroom dancing.

Sword bigger than the man himself? I know one of those.
Yeah, those things are always funny, mostly because it is somewhat ridiculous. How the hell does he sheathe it?
I like the sword itself, size notwithstanding.
There is only one thing I don't like. There are no tabeltop rpg-players anywhere where I live. Dammit!
He doesn't sheathe it; instead, he flungs it in a harness-like thing diagonally over his back [similar to Scot's claymores]. That way, the weapon can be reached quickly with the right hand.
