I never really understood the argument that the elves must be drastically changed, because they are just humans with pointy ears... Just look at LotR, for example. Most people know Legolas the moment they see him, and everyone knows he's a goddamn elf. There's no need to give him a welsh accent and starve him to death.
And anyways, aren't dwarves just short humans with beards? Why don't people complain about them? Huh? HUH?
...my elves, you were so much better in Origins...
Ah so true! So many People were all like "Omgz, Elves look too much like Humans in DAO!" They really didn't. The difference was fairly subtle, I'll agree with that, but they were still distinct in their look. And their look was awesome. Now, they look and sound so...icky. I used to think of Elves, both City and Dalish as elegent, wisened, passionate, people. Now they all sound like Carnies. I keep waiting for them to sell me candy floss and try and sell me a ticket for a ride on the Ferris wheel.
Also, I would like to once again echo the sentiments of awesome, people have been expressing for this thread. many lols to be had.
