Just made an elven inquisitor. She looks nice next to my dwarven Warden and human Hawke, really fleshes out my personal 'canon' history. I like the racial diversity of my current lineup.
I somehow never connected to elves before... I was only really doing it for Solas in the beginning, but now I'm doing it because I love my elf. The character creator is so awesome and the feel of the world so great that I can't help but feel sucked in. My empathy for the character and appreciation for her is just through the roof right now. Really fond of her look.
Mike and whoever else said that the English voice would suit the elves better proved true for me, at least for my soft-hearted mage. I'm going to use Sumalee for my brassier characters, not this delicate Dalish scholar.
