I actually liked just having elves being small, lithe humans with pointy ears.
Me too but I think BW made it clear that they aren't going back to that design. True BW can make the elves and humans look like what they want but when you get guys looking like the guys below then you really have to question BW...

I admit, most of the elves in DA just look like their on some of the serious levels of crack...

The futher Bioware gets away from Tolkensian Elves the better. The Elves of DA2 espcially the Dalish elves had a non-human look about them, thats good elves are not human Classical elves are your average trekkie/fanstasy cosplayer

That would be all well and good had elves not been described as being considered attractive by humans in DA:O.
DA elves need to be consistent with how they are describe in the lore, and DA:I appears to be on the right track.
This is the story. Listen to it.
Bioware listened to fan feedback.
And so it was.
Now we have normal looking elves again and not the horrible DA2 abominations who came from Hell.
The defenders of the elven mutants were beaten.
And so we all rejoiced.
I am cool with Bioware going with their own artistic vision.

Amen!
The elven abominations were one of the main reasons I disliked DA2. The bug eyes, flat noses, heads too big for the body, contrasting with the ridiculously narrow shoulders - it always made me shiver in disgust. And I hope elves are allowed to wear footwear again! It was so silly - an elf in plate armour, but barefoot! Every time Fenris looked at his feet, I wanted to tell him he should drop the act of 'being connected to nature' an put on some proper boots. >.>
I understand that they want to make elves look special, but for me it always worked better when they looked like smaller, lither, more beautiful humans with pointy ears - it made the racism issue so much stronger, imho.
...elves will facial hair...
The latest early models bioware showed looked pretty good to me. The DA2 elves were for the most part pretty ugly, the new models looked like a big improvement.
I loved the DA2 style elves.
They had pointed features.
I must admit I skipped the majority of the dialogue in this thread just to see the pictures people posted of elves from different fictional universes. Sorry!!
Anyway, my two cents: In DA:O, they were too human, but I could accept that. In DA:II, they were misshapen hobgoblins. Fenris and Merrill were lovely, but that's it. The rest are terrible. Including what they did to Zevran... shoulda just left him alone and imported him from DA:O, damnit.
Anyway, I want to place a vote for aesthetically pleasing elves. Related: My (Vanilla/not modded) Warden Elf Mage.
She would've been prettier with eyebrows that actually showed up in-game, but eh.

She's so pretty 
Would you mind sharing your character settings? I can never seem to make the elves look good

Sure! I'm not sure I can make her exactly like that again, but I can post screenshots of where I think the settings might be!

wow, the full size screenshots are huge! XD
Anyway, I hope these links work and help you! Also, try making small adjustments to the eye spacing, height, jaw, and lip size until you get it somewhere that looks good to you. I tweaked it here and there, but I'm not sure I ended up with my original elf girl. She's still very pretty. 
Note: If you click on the voices to choose one, you'll see her lips get gigantic and you might freak out, which I did, haha! I don't think it's cause to be concerned, though. XD

I... don't know how to edit my posts... x.x But here's a link to the skin setting, with the makeup choices, if you wanted it, too.

Hylians are the best elves.
Fenris, Merril, Athenril and maybe one or two other elves looked OK in DA2.
I liked the concept of the changes, so I used the Ferelden Elves mod in DA: O to make them look closer to their DA2 version

I didn't think it worked well on most of the elves with the doughy/plastic faces they share with 90% of the humans in DA2. *shrugs* The elves I've seen for DA: I look promising, IMO.
Anora cosplaying an elf?
Makes me wonder why Dragon Age elves dont cut their ears short or just dont cover them with long hair, because they are otherwise indistinguishable from humans.
