The only thing I wonder about new elves is how the hell did they [de]evolve from these guys in such a short time (that's from Divine Divinity when the Divine was alive):
New elves look like somewhere along the way they grew to Avatar size and dropped normal clothes for leaves and bark. I don't care about bikini mails or whatever, but I care about Rivellon setting continuity - it looks like some parts of it went down the drain.
