That's a good point.  Hopefully we'll get more opportunities for that kind of immersion with all the race options, and the encounters we have will be able to develop more fully.  I'm hopeful that the mention of running into elven enclaves and being welcomed more easily into their confidence will enhance this concept.


Indeed. The synopsis for The Masked Empire seems to imply that huge elven uprisings will take place around this time, so maybe the "elven enclaves" will be rebel bases or areas where elves band together/lay low during times of hardship? It would help explain why they would be a little more wary of humans and a little more at ease around a fellow elf (even if they themselves aren't rebelling).

I'd really like, for example, to visit the Denerim alienage again if possible, and talk to my Tabris' kin about how they're making out after the Blight.


Yup. While I would love to talk to the Tabris family too, I would settle for learning how the elves are coping after the Blight. The City Elf's boon and epilogue are one of the few not mentioned at all in DA2, (which at least acknowledges Cousland and Amell, Surana, Mahariel, and I think even a throwaway line about the dwarf), so I'm burning to know what happened after the Warden Tabris got an Elven Bann elected. 

Excellent points.  I find the cultural differences between city and Dalish elves fascinating.  If changes can be made to their situation in some fashion, I'd like for nuances like these to remain. 


Thank you, and I agree. I would be interested in seeing situations where they would have to interact with each other more than what we've seen, and see how they react and adapt to each other. I think both groups have cultural merits that the other side can learn from, and I would love to see how they react to the other's viewpoint. (It's so vague as not to be believed, but like how the CE can challenge Velanna's view of city elves being frightened sheep. It's too bad we never got to discuss it further in-game.)

I think it's mostly because of her terrible makeup. Purple lips and over done eye shadow don't look good. Her being really gaunt is understandable as she was a slave so most likely under fed.


Yeah, I agree.

Women would not wear green eyeshadow and purple lipstick together. Its just, ewwwww.

I like the face models, I hope they reflect some of the presets in the finished game. The elves appear to strike a nice middle ground between the "humans with pointy ears" we had in DAO and the very alien-looking models in DA2.

Welsh and Irish sound different. And the Dalish elves are supposed to sound WELSH. Dear god. Bioware need to stop letting American VAs approximate accents. They aren't even good irish accents - just generic "oh hey top o' tha mornin'!" accents.

*cut*

Same with the Dalish elves speaking with inexplicable irish accents when they are supposed to sound welshish.



Hey!  I never said any of that.  My post was a reply to FitScotGaymer in which I said much the same thing you did.

I guess we can blame long quote chains.

They're regal looking, I like it, looks far better than the previous 2 games. Though, that really isn't much praise as the first two games are hideous.

To be honest, I kind of liked the face in DA2, you know the not hideous ones, like Merrill and the keeper. Though the bodies were a bit creepy.
These just look like elves to me. I guess I kind of like them, they don't look completely human, but these are only two faces and I can't see their bodies. Though the ratio between the head and shoulders does look better now.

I also like the detail.

Let me correct myself: The male doesn't look completely human, still very much though, but there's a tiny noticeable difference.

What I mean to say here is that those two women looked nice. Just saying, because I wrote it a bit badly.

Also, now the elves don't look so much like the way I drew elves before I played DA2 and redesigned them because I hate it when my things look like other people's things, I can't say I like it. I like these when not compared to DA2 or Skyrim, but I prefere more alien things.

They look way better than their DAII predecessors but they will look even better when they're on the ground.

Personally I'm really happy. Think the female elf in particular looks beautiful. They no longer look like humans with pointed ears like in DAO or anorexic like in DA2. What are your thoughts?


I dislike them, their features don't mesh, they look like a middle ground to appease the whiners while still fitting with their creative vision. I would prefer they kept the acqueline noses of DA2's elves,

I would like it if they simply made them look like the da2 concept art elves:  http://images4.wikia...6/Da2_races.jpg

I think the resemblance you're seeing is that they both look like humans with pointed ears. I actually think these elves look better because "Their features mesh", they look stoic and convex, whereas DA:I look like humans with bony foreheads. The male DA:I looks more like Steve Buscemi than anything else, lower class brit stereotype or redneck also come to mind.

Hm... maybe. Still seems to me that the DAI elves look more like TW2 ones than the DAO elves, but I suppose it could be a matter of technical capabilities.

Also, the DAI female elf reminds me of an actress in the Witcher TV series, so maybe that is confusing my mind somehow. :-\\

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

After seeing this I hate the DA:I elves twice as much, I also find it strange that the humans look more like the DA2 elves than the new elves. New elves have a more bulbous nose tip whereas the humans are the one with the high/deep forehead and straight noses. Put pointed ears on the female human and she'd be what I imagine a dalish hunter should look like.

I like how male elves looks in DAI, good job with that BW ;-)

But I don't like how humans looks in DAI... :pinched:

Is it sad I care more about the fact that these models indicate we'll get some good long hair?
