Talis didn`t look outstanding at all. She had donkey ears, and her neck was 3 times longer than on a homan. Means you need 6 hands to throttle the beast.

They could use some tweaking.

I'd like them to look more like "knife-ears" not "sword-ears"

Yes they should re-model them and this is great. 

(Also just me or does anyone else kinda wish the Dalish armor in Origins looked THAT good)

Yes I think they should. Merril looked alright imo but most of the others kinda creeped me out. Like that one elven girl you could let work in your house.

I'm not the only one who was creeped out by tallis was I?


She was almost there, they just didn't shape the chin to match the rest of the elfy changes to felicia day's face, so it looked off.

Also, I like the redesign, but it does need tweaking. Just a little, though, and background characters need some more work.

To be honest, you could do the exact same thing in origins with the char. creator. they just put on too much makeup and upped the face gaunt waaaay too much.

The elves need to be fixed. They where hideous in DA2. And in Origins they where not good enough either.

Certainly elves do need to be changed, but I also don't think they should go back to DAO's old boring "shorter humans with pointy ears" design either. The new design in DA2 does have some merit, and elven characters in the game weren't universally hideous. Perhaps some tweaking here and there and more effort into making elven characters aesthetically more consistent will suffice?

For my part I'd like to see more of a defined break between nose and brow for the elves, and perhaps smaller eyes. I'd like to see shoes on the elves as well, and personally would like to have their ears swiveled back along their skulls rather than jutting out.

The only good thing about the elves in DA2 was that I got to massacre a whole tribe of them, really. Never in all of Norway has the awsomme-button been used wich such fierceness as the day those creatures attacked me.It was probably the only time I appretiated how fast the DA2 combat is. A blistered thumb later I was left with a feeling of grim satisfaction - akin to the feeling I felt when I beat Mortal Kombat 2, back in the day. Fenris and Merril, sadly, I didn`t manage to do in. Allthough I did sell Fenris to a slaver.

I love it. They look much better while still retaining the unique elven look! Bioware, pay attention to this! :P


Unique Elven Look? Where??!?!?


I think he means those humans with the pointy ears. Not entirely sure. 

Seriously, this guy

http://www.behindthe.../char_28718.jpg 

Looks more like an elf than those elves do. And he's supposed to be a human. :mellow:

Elves from DA:O were bad, humans with pointy ears. DA2 was somewhat better, as at least they became physically distinct from humans. Personally I don't have any preference for Tolkien or D&D elves, so it doesn't bother me what direction they take elves so long as they aren't simply humans with pointy ears.

Seriously people that think short humans with pointy ears are better elves than the more distinct elves in DA2 are fools. While some of the elves looked ugly they could do a good job and I think they'll do a good job in 3. Orsino and Merril were fantastic looking and they were distinctly elven.

Distinctive ≠ Good

DAO concept art elves, NOT the hideous in game elves whom in my opinion look a completely different type of horrible than the DA2 elves.

Humans with pointy ears being called elves = Bad

The only problem that I have with the "YOU NEED TO TURN THEM BACK INTO ORIGINS ELVES" is that people that say this immediately follow it up with "Because I don't find DA2 elves attractive."
Saying they needs some tweaks is alright (because they do) but wanting them to look human because you want pretty people is not a legitimate reason. 

If the choice is between unmodified da2 elves and origins elves. I'd have to choose da2 they look less boring.

BUT CAN'T YOU SEE THE POINTY EARS? That's all it takes.

Its not that I find them "not attractive", its the fact that I find them revolting. Just my view of them, of course.

I'd choose turian-like beings calling themselves elves over humans with pointy ears. DA:O elves weren't a different species any more than asian, white, hispanic, and black people are different species. Infertility and having recessive traits do not equal a new species.

I agree. But my point still stands. I prefer Origins Elves to DA2's regardless of how well done they are.

I liked both origins AND DA2 elves. While some might prefer one over the other, I thought they were both done well. Yes, both sides could use some tweaking here and there, but that does not necessarily mean that they were horrible. *shrugs* some people just have stronger opinions I guess.

I hate to say this, but the first time I saw keeper Marethari in DA2 I was reminded of an old grey horse with a Roman nose, Star Trek....skinny Klingons, just did not do it for me.
