I am an avid elf player. I almost always choose a Dalish elf. I love playing elves. One thing that was irritating about the elves, however, was the lack of hairstyles for the elves. What I mean by this, is the lack of hairstyles that reveal that you are, in fact, an elf.

 

Some of my favorite hairstyles available completely covered the ears. If I used it on an elf, then it would seem like they were human. When I use a hairstyle that completely covers the ears, it seemed so odd when people responded negatively to me because I'm an elf, even though my ears never show.

 

Many of the NPCs had ears that tilted outward and poked through the hair. I'd love to be given an option to do just the same.

 

(For all I know, you could already be doing this, but I'm not sure. I know there are mods to do this, but I'm a console gamer. I don't like playing games on my computer."

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

The woman elf you meet in Lothering, whose family got robbed on the road, has ears sticking out on that hairstyle. However, if I used that hairstyle during my character creation on an elf, the ears would be hidden behind the hair. I'd like an option for the ears to stick out of the hair. (Pay no mind to the text on the image. This was the only screenshot of the family that I could find. An interesting theory though.)

There's more than just the ears for people in the game to know you are an elf. But do you mean the ears sticking out something like this?:

Also, I believe elves are shorter then the average human

They are shorter, more lithe, have different accents and voice, etc.

Hmm. Making the elves taller would be a huge improvement for me. I'm a big fan of LOTR-type elves. I appreciate DA was going for something different, but ugh they just haven't resonated with me.

[Zelanthair]

In DA2 the differences between humans and elves are much more prominent than DAO. (Obviously, as graphics later improved and budgets increased.) In DAO it looked like elves were just younger, maybe slightly underfed humans.

 

That's not even the real issue I was having. 

 

I simply would like to have my elf ears stick out more, more like the NPCs.

This is exactly what I meant by sticking out more, but these are just models. It implies that there might be an option to make the ears point out, but it could just be artwork. These models also imply new hairstyles (which would be greatly appreciated.)

^ I believe those are actual models generated by the character creation system.

I really, really hope so. Cause they look fantastic.

Could be worse, they might have donkey ears.

I love playing a tough as nails elf. The elf i made in skyrim is one of my favorites besides pen and paper SR1 elven street samurai.

There just wasnt enough custumization in the DA series to keep me interested in playing one. I hope this changes in DAI.

I kinda wish that the elves had sharper canines than humans. Because... I dunno. I think it is hot. :x

I get the feeling that would clash with some peoples' views that elves are all vegetarian hippies. *shrug* Can't please everyone.

Psssh. You couldn't call yourself a hunter in the clans without bringing down some big game. Them Dalish like red meat.

Hey, it takes a LOT of arrows to take those Wild Sylvans down!

Fun fact, most of the elf-type creatures we see today in modern fantasy are actually a combination of classical fairies and greco-roman nymphs. the original "elves" as in where the name is derived from actually were quite similar to humans and were simply the inhabitants of one of the nine worlds of norse/germanic mythology, in old english texts there are only a few surviving references to elves and most of the time they are refered to as monsters. in fact if we go off the more modern interpretations (1700s till now) elves were often smaller trickster type creatures and the noble-type elves you see today weren't popularized till Tolkien.  look it up.

Ears sticking out of some hairstyles would be pretty cool.  I think I'd like that.

[Eveangaline]

I must admit, it was really jarring playing the city elf, seeing our cousin Shianni and father Cyrion have such large, beautiful, pointed ears, while we only have the option of having tiny ears that are easily hidden by hair. I would like to have the option to make larger ears this time too.

 

In fact, lets make them the largest. By decree of the inquisitor, any elves with longer ears then them must cut them off!

[Felya87]

totally for hairstyle who let me see the pointy ears of my Elf! and for more prominent pointy ears in the PC than in Origins. I really didn't like some of the hairstile, but those where the only that let me see the ears.

I had to whait and buy the game for pc to have the Elf I wanted, and only thanks to the mods.

 

I must admit I hope for tomboysh short hairstyles, this time. short hair in DAO where terrible.

So this thread can be summed up as: "Please Make Sure Elven Ears Are Visible At All Times"?

 

"Please make sure we have the option to make elven ears visible at all times"

"Please make sure we have the option to make elven ears visible at all times"

 

Which boils down to a better CC where you can adjust ears size and rotation and a million other things
