Which is fine. I'm only asking him if not the DA2 style, and not the Tolkien style, then what kind of elf would be something he'd be comfortable, say, romancing? Something more like Dobby?
Only playing the devil's advocate here.

A discussion about elves is perfectly acceptable and on-topic, after all, we're discussing what we like and what we don't like- in regards to how the DA elves are presented, and the speculation on the new elves perfectly ties in what this thread is about- DA3 Information & Speculation. Ta Da!
But they've said countless times that they're not changing the art style again. And it's not like most people hating the giant nose bridge and bug eyes is new to them.
So let me get this straight- you hate how they look, but you don't want to rip off Tolkien and look human. So how exactly DO you want them to look?
Why are my options just those 2? Is it so odd to not want the elves to look like goblins or humans?

Am I the only one who doesn't care how the elves look, as long as I know they are an elf?
Anyway...the lyrium we keep seeing, perhaps a Lyrium Idol?

I didn't say you had to choose anything. If you were describing your perfect elf what would it look like? That's all I'm asking. lol. I know what you -don't- like, tell me what you -do- like.

HA! I laughed! +1 Internet point to you, sir.
EDIT: Can we move on from all this elves talk? Bioware has said they won't change the artstyle and that's that. Same thing with the conversation wheel. I like the former and really dislike the latter, but you don't see me lobbying for a conversation list when it's been said what will be actually used and is not open for discussion. They're going to try and improve on both matters, but they're staying. Move on people!

I personally prefer the Da2 style over the origin's style, because to me the elves in origins just looked like short humans with pointy ears.I would love to see elves such as viconia devir enter dragon age.

Hmm. Sure seems like you were deriding me for not wanting the DA2 appearance or the Tolkien appearance. Your emphasis on "do" makes it quite clear.
Say that out loud, putting that emphasis on do and tell it doesn't sound the way I interpreted it.

Your joking right? How is it possible that you are taking offense from a post that is clearly asking you what it is you want the elves to look like? Which, btw, you still haven't answered.
The reason that there is an emphasis on the 'do' is that you have been critiquing the elves and their looks, but have failed to supply how it is that you want them to look. It's a simple question. If you have an answer than say it, if you don't then perhaps you should re-evaluate what it is you want the elves to look like before coming on and saying that they look bad. It will help out your arguement significantly if you can provide a general description (or example) of what it is you want to see. This will also, in turn, help the devs because even though they have said they don't plan to change the art style, things always change. Perhaps they'll incorporate different styles in DA4, or add new tweaks for DA3.

Who gives a flying **** what I want the elves to look like? Are you dying to know what I have to say on the matter? I didn't even say they need to change them. Go back and read my posts. Not once did I say "The elves need to be different in DA3." It doesn't particularly bother me how they look in DA2 and most of the suggestions here are just "Take this from another game/fantasy IP and put it in DA3." I don't want that and that's what I was criticizing from the start.

Unless you're illiterate you should have no problem understanding me or my position on this.
