Positively emaciated. He happens to be a mage so I can kind of get that but he is insanely skinny to the point of it not looking healthy. Has anyone else noticed this?

[thesuperdarkone2]

Should've been a qunari or dwarf. They have meat on their bones

[Machina Obscura]

Elves are not people.

Never been an elf.

Arms snap too easily.

Yes. It makes me crazy. I usually play at least once as a male and at least once as a female. My first playthrough is almost always a human noble female (in this case a rogue). After finishing this playthrough it really seemed the game was geared towards an elven Mage. So I started a male elven Mage and he just looks so wimpy. I hate it.

But I wanted to romance Dorian so I had to be a male. And I wanted to experience the game from the elven Mage perspective. I really wish I had done human male noble rogue and elven female Mage.

Yeah, the same applies for females... They already looked like that in DA2. I remember when I first saw Merril. I was like wtf...   she looked like a giant bug. Slim body, big eyes and a small head. The elves should've stayed like the elves in DAO.

[Ogillardetta]

Made a female elf warrior. Never again.

My Male Elven Rogue is the same. Unfortunately all elves have the same body type. It is possibly for this reason why Sera has a human female body. My second playthrough is with a Qunari female. I much enjoyed the elf with the posh British accent. He just seems so much more natural than my lumbering qunari.

So true my male elf inquisitor looks especially worse when wearing the mandatory burlap sack around skyhold.

[Vader20]

The only reason I played an elf is because I got that feeling that I belong somewhere...We are dalish let's help each other out and stick together. This made up a bit for their awful looks. But all in all they don't fit the role of the inquisitor very well. As a warden they were fine, but seems that the game was designed for a human noble.

[Isaidlunch]

Yeah it's irritating, especially since Sera and Solas both got human models. The Sera disapproval scenes make me worry for my elf, she looks like she could easily overpower him and steal his lunch money.

With no disrespect meant to those who enjoy playing them, I find the male elf model in this game repellant. They just look icky to me.

[Lewie]

They should let you adjust their body weight. I kinda think if they sneeze too hard they will fall over.

[Zehealingman]

I tried playing a fem elf mage once. But when she attacked with her staff her arms ... God no those arms.

[Navasha]

I have to say though, regardless of the body models used for the elf.    I honestly feel like my elf characters are more fitting as inquisitor.   With all the focus on elven gods and Solus talking to you so much more openly, it felt far more real.  

 

My first human female character was actually shocked that she didn't get the 'fade' scene when she talked to Solus at Skyhold the first time.    How could people miss that?

[Vader20]

Does anybody know the reason why they made them so skinny ? People complained that they were too human in DAO ?

[DarkAmaranth1966]

We wanted them thinner, lithe wiry in DAO, we hated the flat nose bridge in DAII, now we hate the slender, elves they gave us. Really get over it, these are the best so far, beats DAII faces for sure, and they are slender, wiry, lithe looking as elves should be. I just want them to be taller and, the makes to have more defined muscles, or develop them as the game progresses.

 

I'd love muscle mass, hip, waist and, breast sliders for all races, allow more variation in appearance, but that's me.

[Apo]

I don't even understand how the whole staff in Bioware could agree that the male elf body was "Ok gentlemn, let's make them like that !"

 

Making them skinny and tiny doesn't really bother me and tbh I really liked their DA2 version because they were different from the all the elves we've seen in other games, books, movies,... etc.

But where in the hell are their shoulders ? And why their arms looks broken when they stands up ? WHYYYYYY BIOWARE !!!

[Addai]

It looks really bad. The female elf being spindly and hunched over is bad enough, but I am sorry for the male elf models. Keep them in good armor and keep your eyes half closed during the Skyhold cutscenes.

[Master Race]

Male elf is basically a North Korean prison camper.

[Xiomara]

I'm not usually one to complain about stuff like this but I agree that the elf models are disgusting looking. I started to play with a female elven archer and I had to stop because watching her shoot a bow with those twig arms was just laughable. The human female is not much better tbh.

There's two thoughts when developing fantasy:

 

1.  We need to make this exactly like Lord of the Rings

2.  We need to make this exactly like Lord of the Rings except for a few insignificant differences so that we can pretend to be unique

 

Probably the best example of this is in the Eragon series, where dwarves have seven toes.

"Why do dwarves have seven toes", you might ask.

I read like, three of the books for some reason, and it doesn't ever matter.  I can't even imagine a way it could ever matter.  The series essentially just says "don't you worry about why dwarves have seven toes, let me worry about blank."

 

Dragon Age does this with elves.  It feels like the writers wanted to be able to brag to other fantasy writers at some big fantasy writer wine mixer.  "Yeah, our elves are different, they're not just humans with pointy ears.  They're humans with pointy ears and weird nose bridges!"

 

Except that was mostly scrapped, too.

 

Now, they're just "humans with pointy ears that need to eat some more."

 

If any of the writers is reading this:

 

No.  One.  Cares.  If.  Races.  Are.  Exactly.  Like.  Tolkein's.  Versions.

They were so close to having perfect looking elves in this game, given the elves have normal looking faces, but then they went and fucked it up by giving them the anorexia models. 

[KaiserShep]

It was pretty surprising when that first elf makes the scene when the Inquisitor wakes up in Haven. I think the super skinny body models is going to keep me from rolling an elf. I guess it's just dwarves and humans for me. Qunari are not cutscene friendly.

[NoForgiveness]

I'm not a fan of the males for this reason. I definitely love the elves being Shortish. But I think they should've had the men be beefier. Like WoW's Blood Elves. Amazing. Definitely my favorite race ever. Suppose it's to late for DA's male elves. Btw, I'm specifying the male part because I think the females are just sooooo perfect.
