Got to say, the drawfs actually look pretty good too.  Not as pretty as good as the elf or human, but also much of an improvement.

I like the elves. I've always played as an Elf, and am going to again in DAI.
But that human female... looks so. Ridiculously. Badass. Hope we can get an elf to look similar, because I'm lovin' those chiseled features.

Indeed, the elves are a dramatic improvement over DA2's elves.

Hopefully these will show up in DA:I as either the default faces or some of the presets.

I like that the elves and humans look somewhat similar: since they can interbreed, then they can't be too distantly related. They're far less, er, cartoony than they were in DA2, which I approve of. And I love the dwarfs.

[Sigurdur]

I like it. An improvement on DA2´s elf which i always liked a lot more then the pointy eared short humans of origins.

[AmRMa]

Love them can't wait to create one.

[FarDareisMai]

I like them. They do look a bit typical sure, but at the same time they have characteristics that make them differ just enough so you can tell they aren't human but not so much that they look like they don't belong in the same realm as humans. Can't wait to have a character that looks like that!

I do like them, and they are an improvement over DA2, which looked a little too alien-like to me. But I did like they're oversized irises. They still look a lot like pointy-eared humans to me though.

The female elf is perfect,
the male elf tough... looks like a bloody vampire imho:P

Probably my favourite of the three games so far (not that I ever had particularly strong feelings about it), but mainly I just hope that that's it and they're going to stick with this one from now on and stop changing it.

They changed the style after DAO to give the series a more distinctive look, but there have now been three distinct looks in as many games, there's no single "Dragon Age" style at all so far and it's not doing them any favours in my opinion.

[franciscoamell]

I'm liking them so far. The female one looks stunning! I need to see more male ones. This one isn't hideous, but I don't find him handsome either. So excited to play as an elf! I haven't decided if I'll start with a dwarf or an elf. I want to play as a dwarf more buuuuut I really really want to be a mage so I don't know.

 Although I thought most things in DA2 suffered in comparison to DAO, I liked their elf models better.  These DAI elves look like vulcans in drag.

[Mello]

 I like. I really like.

[rspanther]

A definite improvement.

[ScarMK]

Does the female elf remind any one else of Zelda?

[DooomCookie]

Perfect.

I like that the male elf is smiling, unlike every other race/gender combo.

I like his expression too   I like that I think I see definition between forehead and nose here as well.

Oh, this thread is just about the elves' appearance?

*sigh*

Yeah, they look great. I'm personally looking forward to how they'll be portrayed culturally and socio-economically in Inquisition. The upcoming novel implies that there is or will be mass elven uprisings in Orlais, and we'll get increased reactivity thanks to the race selections. I hope we get to discuss more of the elven plight with companions a la Fenris and Merrill in DA2, and actually get to explore said discussions unlike in DA2 (which kind of glossed over them.)

And for God's sake, I hope the city elves' aren't just nameless fanatics like they were in DA2.

I too am really looking forward to learning more about their culture and plight, and what their future holds.  Mr. Laidlaw mentioned in the "playable races" GI video that befriending elven servants, etc., as a brother or sister will be a unique experience...and hopefully a positive one.  I'm looking forward to that opportunity.

I just hope that our ability to improve the lot of the elves won't just break down into the Dalish supremacy fetichizing that happens so often on this forum. The City Elves have a unique and distinct culture, and equal treatment for the elves and freedom from the alienages means more than just forcible cultural assimilation into the Dalish. 

[mmmu]

Like.

[Huntress]

Thats only a model.. and I'm not goign to be happy until i see some Elves in action..lets wait for abit before we go nuts about them.

remember Fenris+ merril are the only "good looking" elves in da2, the rest are nightmarish creatures of sorts ...

I agree so much. So many people seem to feel like "elven freedom" means just getting the Dalish the kingdom and society that they envision, and the city elves just assimilating to that vision. But, let's face it:

....

I cut out the point for spacing, but I just want to say I wholeheartedly agree ith you.

What's more, like you said, I think the city elves have great cultural merits that I think would be tragic to lose to the Dalish. Among other things, because of the on-going prejudice they receive for their heritage, I think the city elves have a stronger sense of community, kinship, appreciation of being elven (I know the Dalish value it, but I think the elves appreciate it), and (on average) more acceptance of cultural and background differences.

I don't think the Dalish value being elven. I think they value being Dalish, and to them, being Dalish is being elven. They don't really consider - based on the codixes - the CEs to really even be elven by culture. 

In most Alienages, there seems to be a sense of "Hey, come on in. We're all elves here," as opposed to "Any elf not like us is a flat-ear, no better than humans," or "If you join us, you have to be just like us," or "So, you finally want to learn to be a real elf, eh?"  

Yeah, I'm with you there. 

I want the elves to get freedom more than I can say, but I don't want the city elves to completely lose their cultural identity either. =(

I think that's the operative word - we want to get freedom for the elves, not for the Dalish.

I like the interaction between city elves and qunari, personally. Seems like an organic development. I wonder what the Dalish think of that.

I'd wager they see them as traitors?
