You see guys what i'm talking about? How can you seduce a human if you are not similar to them in appearance? I mean vampires and werewolves do the same, they take on a beautiful, desirable, seductive form to lure their victims. The same goes for the elven race except they don't abuse their beauty like bad humans do to gain things they desire! Well not always......

I'am so going to read this book! They got the idea right

I prefer the elves in DA2. If all elves got the same time and details like Marethari, Merril, Orsino and Athenril for example I would be very happy. Also BioWare, stop it with the clown make-up please. 

That won't happen though. Just as all humans won't get the same treatment as Hawke's family, Meredith, Alistair, Leliana, or Anders; just as all dwarves won't get the same treatment as Oghren, Sigrun, or Varric.

They spend resources on making the primary NPCs we interact with looking good, and minor quest people or crowd fodder are allowed to look worse. There are two options: spend the same amount of resources to make all NPCs look the same, rather than have a few exceptional ones look better, or take resources from some other area of the same to bring the lagging NPCs up to the standards of the superior NPCs.

I don't really understand why everyone thinks ALL elves must look wonderful. There are always going to be more attractive persons among all peoples, and that level of attractiveness will vary among onlookers. Even if you go by the standard elf lore of elves being perceived as beautiful by humans (as Zevran references), that doesn't take into account yourself (the PC) being of another race.


I agree 100% with your clown makeup comment though. Some of those choices, on elves and humans are just... no.


Everyone looking the same is a lot less jarring than turning a corner and running into a DA2 elf.

I didn't mean exactly the same, I meant the same quality. The hours of work that went into Merrill, Fenris, and Orsino are obviously considerably more than some of the other elves. But I don't mind that really, those are exceptional NPCs and they are highly involved in our gameplay. Some random elf servant in Hightown is not.

Or do you think that all elves, no matter who they are, are horrid in DA2? If that's the case, that's fine, but we might as well be clear on the issue.

Hours of work.... I can say many things about Dragon Age 2, but hard working is not one of those words...

So did I. Or at least a similiar quality.

Don't think about what they are doing just focus on her face. That was the first image that popped when I googled Witcher2 Elf. Iorveth has more character as befits his role in the game, but even though she's a generic elf the quality is similiar.

Sure beats Dragon Age 2, at least they pass for faces. BioWare could do better though, if they tired for once....

How come every other gaming developer except BioWare and Bethesda know what we want? It's like they are mocking folklore or something....

Give us sweet elves BioWare..... You keep nasty rotton alien elf corpse....

I know that and I understand why minor characters get less time than the bigger ones. My phrasing was bad and I certanily don't think that all elves must look wonderful.

I just hope they get a little more time the next time around. Given the rushed nature of DA2 I have high hopes for some fine-tuning for DA3. .

lol it looks fine, hes most likely just showing off his muscles, to futher seduce the fair noble woman; her daddy is going to be raging when he finds out about this :P And her noble husband is going to commit suicide when he sees her offspring lol.....

Noble Husband: Eh? Honey why does our son have pointy ears?....
Noble Madien: :whistle:

Father: For F*** Sake! If you wont tell him I will?! 

Elven Knight: Awwww! He has his mother's eyes and my ears..... :D

Noble Madien: :wub:......

Noble Husband: Why?! :crying:

Oh no! Now i'm depressed, I think i'll go to Currys and see if I can find a pc version of Skyrim and mod it. That or i'll read Wizards of Earthsea, then play Skyrim on my console and try to make the best high elf I can... (sigh)
