do you hate elves. both dalish and city one and im not only talkin about Da series but also about THE Elder scrolls where elves are serious jerks. Im talkin about elves in overall.

[Chaos Lord Malek]

I do sometimes.

I dislike them in Dragon Age - because they are not only not attractive or somehow mystical , but are also prideful and stupidly 'locked' in their ways, unable to understand that their always brought them where they are now and will lead them on to their doom.

In Silmarilion i wanted Melkor to destroyed and enslave them. I despise their characters- Thingol an arogant moron and that ruler of Gondolin is totally "emo blind" too - can`t see that his son Mor'...'"forget his name" is already looking over his own sister/cousin. And LOL at Feanor - utter loser, Melkor owns his father, stole Silmarils, let Ungoliath suck out Trees of Valinor and he just proclaims him Morgoth and when he tries to avenge his father get owned right away by first Balrog - GOOD JOB man!

I also disliked elves in Warcraft - all of them. Despite playing BE paladin for most of my time in WoW, i find their characters to be weaklings, and although not as stupid as elves from Dragon Age or D&D, I somehow find it to my liking when Arthas is kicking their 'backs' 24/7. (Warcraft 3 /TFT of course, WoW story is blind heresy and anything from AQ gates opening as if dose`t happen)
Illidan got owned, Sylvanas got owned, and Kael'thas not only got owned, but Arthas even screwed his "dream girl" and murdered his Father - Arthas for President!

In the Elder Scrolls i don`t like original elves either. I think i played some of the new elven races for females, but can`t remember the name. But that was in Oblivion, and even with mods elves can`t hold it against that last vampire mods, those looks almost totally like from Witcher 1 CGI pictures. In Skyrim, i hate elves - i played Nord and hated them, and now i play Imperial and i hate them. And actually at first i thought i will play High Elf but then when i was in game it all completely changed.

In D&D i and almost all of my friends loved Drows. I guess we are all masochists, considering that they are *hardocre* Matriarchal society.

Iin W40k i like Eldar, they are good, although they need to rethink what they doing like the elves in DA. Harlequins got it covered good however. On the other hand - Dark Eldar are best by far best elves ever made in any story/franchise. Characters like Vect, Lilith Hesperax, that Archon girl with crystal heart, and Arhra - bloodthirsty, sexy, mass murderers that how the elves should be!!!

[Aetika]

Eh, what?...NO...Why?
*also I am elf at Skyrim, I can´t hate myself ...wait......I can

[Asch Lavigne]

I also like elves. They are usually my preferred race to play.

[Thiefy]

i dont hate them but i don't have the fever for them some other people do. Although there are a lot of aspects about their personalities in general i dislike. The ears are cool though.

[whykikyouwhy]

I try not to hate any entire group of beings, be they fantasy-based or part of our real world. I may not like certain members within a particular faction, but that might be because of qualities they do or do not possess.

So no, I don't hate elves, from any game or realm. Any characteristics that they display, like pride or narrow-minded focus, are characteristics found in most mortal beings - and thus is not any reason, imo, to cast hate upon them, but perhaps simply a reason to not consider them friends.

lol i was going to make a joke bout the fat guy elf seriel killer in dragon age 2, but the subject is so monumentally stupid i felt i should focus on that instead

Do i hate a fictional race of pretty, pointy eared humans? no, why you ask? cause they're not real? cause i'm not offended by fictional dialouge of a fictional race make'n fictional rude comments about my fictional charecters? cause i'm not so far gone into fantasy make believe land that i have rage enough to post a ridiculous topic on a ridiculous forum full of ridiculous people?

[CroGamer002]

Depends.

[silver_sparrow]

I wish they could give me a reason to hate them so I can side with the werewolves and slaughter them all. Damn you, preconciousness! D:<

[KnightofPhoenix]

I am not a fan of most incarnations of elves, but I do not hate or dislike them. The ones that are closest to me disliking them are the elves of LotR.

I do not mind the elves of DA and WarCraft. Don't mind the Eldars of Warhammer 40K (dislike the Dark Eldars however, chaos wannabes in my eyes).

My favorite elves that I actually like are those of the Witcher series, in large part because I feel they are closer to humans than the other incarnations.

[Camenae]

Hate? No. Not my cup of tea/I don't prefer playing as an elf over other races? Yes.

[AlexXIV]

I usually love elves. They symbolize beauty and immortality. However, it depends on the fiction. If they are portrayed in a really hateworthy way then I'd probably  hate them as much as I would hate any race portrayed that way.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Dragon Age's portrayal of elves I find rather fascinating. Other than that, not so much.

[dragonflight288]

I play an elf in Skyrim. Dunmer to be precise. I don't really hate elves, just their arrogance that is usually there no matter the story in the fantasy genre.

Granted, I was reading Tolkien's The Hobbit and watching the cartoon movie of it when I was a kid, so that influenced my view on dwarves and elves. Always liked the dwarves based on the thirteen traveling with Bilbo Baggins. Even named my Noble after their leader. Thorin Oakenshield.

[Sylvianus]

Hate ? No, in general, and I like their background ( dalish ) in DA. In DA, I can play female elves, but never male elves... They look  weak, effeminate, I cannot feel connected to them... Like said Camenae, not my cup of tea.

It would be good for once, to see male elves that look more masculine. I liked what I saw a bit in the witcher 2



Something like that ? Yes, definitely, I could play one of them.

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

Elves are cool in my book. The only ones I can think of coming close to hating are just a faction (Thalmor from Skyrim), and are racist jerks anyway.

One of my favorite portrayals of elves aside from DA is the tongue in cheek treehugging emo hippies that they are in the Overlord games:

Elf #1: Oh, brother, how lucky we are, to live in the bounteous green bosum of Evernight.
Elf #2: Aye, my friend, we are. Let us pray to the Mother Goddess.
Elf #3: For although she is a cold and uncaring harlot, undeserving of worship, she alone will listen to our woe, our sorrow, and our poetry!

[dragonflight288]

LOL. I love the Overlord games. And they are hilarious.

Most elves in DA are fine, the Dalish are somewhat hostile but that's understandable given the situation that they were forced into. Elves are portrayed mainly as victims in the Dragon Age games.

As for TES, I disagree that elves are jerks. Most High Elves we see in game belong to the Thalmor who are generally jerks, but you have to realise that the Thalmor were a minority voice amongst the High Elves until they were given extra powers to quell the Oblivion crisis. So I don't think their views are truly representative of the High Elves. Also some of the non-Thalmor High Elves are bros, look at Legate Fasendil- www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Legate_Fasendil for example. So you can't claim that the entire race are jerks.

As for Bosmer and Dunmer, I got on with most of the ones I met in Skyrim. Falmer are pretty screwed up, but that's only because the Nords and Dwemer screwed them over and forced them to live underground as slaves.

A bit like Skyrim's elves too maybe-

[Rawgrim]

I love elves in general, but I hate the DA elves now - due to how they ended up in DA2.

[K_Tabris]

I love playing as an elf whenever possible. In DA2, I only romanced them. Still not crazy about their redesign in DA2, but they at least have a unique look now.

In Tamriel, I only found the wood and high elves to be ****s. The dunmer seem just fine.

[Johnny20]

Can't say I'm a massive fan. I generally dislike the Dalish, though I respect their ways and can understand their hostility to some extent. I don't paint all with the same brush, however. I really like and enjoy some Dalish characters.

I'm slightly more fond of the city Elves, despite the fact they seem to have a major lack of respect for themselves. Again, not painting all with the same brush, but living in filth and squaller under human rule doesn't scream out "We're doing well for ourselves!".

I know they're not given a great deal of opportunity, but in my opinion they are given far more then the Casteless. They have been living like this for centuries. Time to get your crap together, Elves.

I'm neutral, I guess. Some elves are cool, but more often then not they are depicted as huge douches.
