I like it, for the most part. Like others said they are more distinct now, and (for the most part!) have features that are very appealing, which fits with the DA lore that elves are attractive to humans.

Some morphs do bother me. A lot. Orana is scary. Zev is ruined . I undersand that it is a limitation of new morph structure, and it wasn't reasonable to do a special headshape just for his brief cameo, but bleh Zev fangirl in me is crying

Ok, I would like the changes to the elves if they put some effort into the male models. I look at Fenris and I think he's beautiful. However, he is the ONLY male elf who looks that good, with strong, defined features. The other male elves just can't even compare. I wish they had given the male elves stronger features; the elf models COULD have been decent but as it is, the males look like undercooked eggs.

Zevran... I do not like the way he looks, but that has more to do with some real oddness with his features and skin, and not the bone structure. Had they put some effort into him, he could have been both recognizable and good looking in a new-elf way.

I love the changes, both in their looks and accents. Yay for a different looking race.

Do some elves look horrible? Sure, but it's not like all the Origins elves would win beauty contests themselves.

Cammen.

I like the change. It took some time to get used to, but it's nice to have elves that don't look like the norm.

If by "Elven" people mean generic "long eared, tiny framed, short" elven, then yes they do look like this, but one of the few things I liked of the elves in DAO (aside from their political status) was that Bioware tried to be diferent by making them look like humans which IMO make sense due to the point I mentioned in my earlier post. But if generic elf is what most people want then by all means kudos to Bioware for making them more pleasing to the majority

The changes grew on me pretty quickly. I'm still a bit confused by some of the Dalish elves having sparkly greyish skin though. All the other elves seem to have standard human skin tones, so maybe it's a special elf-only type. Or I'm imagining it. Or they're some sort of elf-qunari hybrid.

I like that the elves are still generally slight. In Origins, the main way I (and probably NPCs too) could tell my helmeted City Elf warden wasn't human was that she was on the small side, so it's nice to see that carry over.

I don't like the change. Nothing wrong with the elves from Origins. The new look makes them look sick.

totally!

its nice all the changes but me being irish thinks the accents are too stupid and fake.

[highcastle]

I was on the fence about the changes at first. Once I played through most of Act 1, though, I'd adapted. I like the size of their eyes and the bridge of their noses. It gives them a distinct look. Even their ears are exaggerated now, which makes all those "knife-ear" comments make sense.

Even Zevran was not so bad. I know he wasn't as attractive as in Origins, but honestly I blame the awful armor texture more than his face morph for that. I keep staring at this awful mass of polygons in comparison to my slick Champion robes and wondering how they can coexist in the same universe. Put him in some decent clothes and I think he'd clean up just fine.

Im not keen on the Elf changes , to me it is a big rip off of Avatar, and totally not in a good way. I accept that they wanted to change it, I always thought of elves like that pic BRock posted or at least willowy and tall, like Legolas or something, they are spose to be the pretty race... not the..... sway backed misproportioned things that someone tried to copy of the Na"vi . I would have prefered an original concept but i like parts of the game so i tried to overlook this... once i saw Zevran tho,,,, I think i coughed up blood a bit, but i tried to school the horror off my face!

[mynameisleah]

I thought they looked cool (esp. fenris ( But quick question, did they always have the trademark green eyes (aka did they have them in origins)?

No.  Not at all.

[Shacary]

ahh I agree Fenris and even Merrill were fab looking, but over all Ithink it was a bad copy of Na'vi , and im sorry that huge U shaped sway back made it painful to watch them walk... That cant be healthy....

Yes... Yes, you're right! It does make sense that different races should all look like humans! Who needs diversity?

[WidowMaker9394]

They look great. Beautiful (most of them) and alien, no longer short and skinny humans. Orsino and Marethari are both my favorites.

Sooo agreed. I am not really buying the whole "different looks". Why make them look like Aliens? Is not the whole social status enough for prejudice?

Well, seeing as neither DAO nor DA2 elves look like that particular image, it seems a little pointless.

LOL I think it's hilarious that Merill has a welsh accent, and yet some of the Dalish differ between Northern Irish and Scottish

Merrill was given to that clan due to her magical talent at the age of 4. Considering she comes from a very foreign country, it would make sense that she has a different accent.

I liked the new elf changes. They looked distinct and unique enough that my interest in playing an elf went up several notches. In origins, they just looked like smaller humans with different ears. I'd be much more interested in playing the DA2 elves than the DAO ones.

I'm in the minority, but I thought Zevran in DA2 was an improvement. I can see the complaints about his face being a little off, but in DAO, since he appeared as smaller human, he came across as a teenaged surfer. In DA2, he looks very much like an adult. I liked his new model and he was still recognizably Zevran. (I would not have recognized Nathaniel Howe apart from his trademark hair.)

I don't care about the barefoot thing. If that's what the designers want to be a quirk for the elves (much in the same way dwarves fear falling into the sky), then OK. It just adds some flavor, but it doesn't matter either way.

I do want to know why an elf is wearing a dwarf casteless brand on his face though. =p

[MingWolf]

They didn't look great in DA:O, but I rather they did not look so much like aliens in DA2. I'd prefer them looking more like Brockololly's posted image, as I feel it would fit the lore a little better.

[adneate]

The elves in DA2 are probably the laziest most artistically bankrupt fantasy race ever put in a video game. Most of the faces look like someone spent about 7 seconds randomly fiddling with the sliders while the two Elf companion characters look as human-like as possible. Basically proving the entire concept that "Oh the Elves have to look different" is 100% BS because they know nobody wants to be followed around by some lop eared freak show. The entire race is somehow less believable and convincing than they were in Origins and considering that this is a race that doesn't exist that is saying something.
