As a people they did. So did the jews and they (in general) are not rugged.

I'd say they are pretty damn tough considering they've endured while being surrounded by enemies, and won a war where they were invaded on two fronts.

I would like the elves to not looks so much human as they did, but look more mystical at least the Dalish. I'm hoping the dalish look more wild and more untamed than they did in DA:O. If you look at the elves they looked to human. Only size made them different. I would hope that they would be something more mystical and oracle looking. As for the city elves. I would hope for something very unique and more human. As they have lost their immortality and have become more mortal. This would make them with a more human look, but still keep some of their mystical qualities.

Want them to look more alien-like? Get H.R. Giger to design them.

40-50 years of peaceful time can generally result in people 2+ generations later looking pretty good. But that has little relevance left to what people who do remain under harsh conditions look like.

Thats not what i ment. look at the dalish, they live in the wild they should not be pretty. and most of the time they are poor, so they shouldnt be that pretty either

What does wealth have to do with beauty? Aside from superficial things like not being able to afford makeup or fancy combs or whatever, how much money one has doesn't affect their genetics in any way. Same with living in the wild...they can still bathe in streams and whatnot, and even if they didn't put much emphasis on bathing or hygeine, their natural physical beauty wouldn't change. It would just be somewhat...covered up.

And I don't need Tolkien-esque superior looking, mega awesome elves with donkey ears. Thank you very much. Just give them a few minor tweaks like other hairstyles, different set of noses/eyes from humans and I'm content.

Agreed. I'm rather done with Tolkien elves. I really don't understand why so many people are wishing for Tolkien elves when it seems like BioWare was very deliberately subverting that whole concept of elves being holier than thou, uber superior, better than humans in every way.

Tolkien elves are not the ones with donkey ears.    Leaf-shaped and human-sized.  And there are plenty of examples of Tolkien elves who are flawed and weak, though you have to go back to the Silmarillion to find most of them.

The good thing about keeping Tolkien as a template in my view is that a) his elves are humanlike enough that they don't look like aliens, and they are strong warriors who look like warriors, not like pixies or waifs.  My DAO female elves had arms that made me doubt they could lift a loaf of bread let alone a sword.

I liked them as they were, making them more attractive would be detrimental other species and the don't need to look any more frail.

[BroBear Berbil]

Would like elves to actually look good. In DAO they're pretty freakish and ugly - nothing like the awesomeness of the dalish concept art.

Inability to accept change to what is their character type of choice, would be my guess.

Sounds a lot like how the Dalish view themselves if you ask me

I think the females need more meat on their bones.

I would say we need a build, and hight slider at character creation, then NPC-s would also differ a lot more

the lack of meat is not elf-specific

Even NWN2 engine was able to do it, and many others, this is not about having a super-engine, it is about Bioware taking the time to actually make it so.

it is about Bioware taking the time

On the topic of accents, did it occur to anyone else that elf accents in DAO made no sense?  

I mean, it made sense for Dwarves and Dalish to have American accents as it was used to show that they weren't from Ferelden (although I would have liked it if they could have differentiated the Dalish and the Dwarves accent-wise), but City Elves are Fereldan, just as much as the Humans are; logically, they should have had British accents just as the Humans did.

[joriandrake]

I wish everyone would forget about accents, it cuts back on possible great voice actors just because they don't have the "proper" accent.

Possibly something like the Shaiya Goddess of Light, quite fair skin with a radiant glow to the skin, light blonde hair and quite bright eyes. Although I don't see what's wrong with an elf with the same image as the Elves from LOTR More so like Arwen rather then Galadriel, quite magical looking, with the glow to the skin.
