Like they did in Dragon Age: Origins, actually, I would prefer it if the entire game was done in the same way as Dragon Age: Origins.

Like no stamina potions. I HATED stamina potions in DA:O. Or having family resemble you and not looking adopted if you made a caramel/ebony anything. I hated that too....

I like the alien looking elves of DA2. They are a different race of beings, not just some humans that evolved in a different climate or what not.

That said, that kind of thing needs to be done from the ground floor. That might have been able to be overcome if it wasn't also for the low poly really horrible art design of the random elves.

Those things combined, I think it is just better to go back to the original elves looks, rather than keep trying to convince players that the new elves are they way they always were. You lost that battle, its not even an important battle, just go back to the accepted ones. I don't mind the new ones, but I am pretty much alone on that one:)

No, you're not. 

I liked them too (maybe not the more horrid ones like Orana or the gremlins, but some of them were fine - like Marethari and Athenril). And the poll indicates more than two people. and most wanted a compromise (like me, I love my modded elf best), and I'm not gonna fight against a compromise. I DO NOT WANT DA:O humans with pointy ears syndrome though.

I too maintain that Elves should represent a distinct species. (I did, however, think the Scottish/Welsh accent tacked onto the elves in 2 was unnecessary- in origins, elves were American, but in 2 they were Anglo-Saxon )

Beautiful. Elves are fey and should look gorgeous. Both genders have glamour. Tolkiens vision of beauty.

I think it was the difference in the American vs. Welsh and Irish accents (since Elvish is a different language, they wanted to sound more "exotic" and lighter, flowier, and frankly, prettier) than American English. Though they could have accomplished this by getting some Americans who speak other languages with "lighter" tones (think the opposite of languages like Russian and Arabic) 

ann-dayran ateeshayn vs. anderahn atieeshahn.

The first one makes me cringe personally, the second one sounds more Tolkien-inspired Elvish. But that's my opinion.

That'd have my vote. If I play Skyrim again I'm going to have to install that. For DA, I think the dark elves in that mod are maybe a bit too alien, the high elves too to a lesser extent. The wood elves are about right:



Looking at that picture and comparing it to the DA2 elf face a few comments up, I think I'd like it if DA3 went with a less cartoonish art style than DA2 did.

Mabye not exactly like this but something along these lines would be a heck of an improvement. (bookmarked for when i play Skyrim again. thanks!)

DA:O's elves weren't bad but were not anything amazing and DA2's were terrible donkey faced hybrid things. I had to vote for neither but if I only had a choice between the two games, I'd have to pick the Origins version.

They don't look alien. They look like a subspecies of Man.
And that's okay, because they are supposed to look like humans.

A lot of people here seem intent on the idea that Dragon Age has to reinvent how elves look (though only slightly) for some reason. It's too late for that and the redesign certainly isn't much of a reinvention.
Also why aren't the same people up in arms about dwarfs, their too are  even shorter, but wider and bearded humans!

Lightbulb headed annorexic Na'avi/ jrpg wannabes with the same head/shoulder ratio as a newborn baby...I didn't like it in da2 and nothing is going to convince me that those monstrosities look good.

I think its possible to make elves that look diffrent then humans but still pretty, bioware did it very well with the asari in mass effect, they can do it with the elves too.
I disagree with the statment "the engine made the character look bad" I thought that my Hawke looks looked very pretty.
Anyway I belive in Bioware, and im sure they are doing everything they can to deliver the best possible game

For all its other faults, I preferred the elves in DA2 for their appearance. They didn't look excessive to me.

lol rly ? Someone rly like DA2 elf design ?

I am not defending DA:O elven look, because it was more like a tiny human with longer ears, but it was by far still better then those weird mutants from DA2, if you start with something then you should keep it for story and visual integrity, like the same happened with quanari which have changed from big, strong kind of humans from DA:O into some deamonic bunch of fellaz in DA2...

Alas that we have modding comuty, they have made a dozens of interesting modes which fixed lot of issues in DA:O as much as in DA2.
