I guess I just still prefer "skinny human with pointy ears" Elves to "completely alien looking" Elves. The "Eaters of the Dead" gimmick is okay I guess, though technically would only be "cannibalism" when they eat dead Elves. If they toned down the alien elements, maybe used the same skin texture as humans, it wouldn't be so bad. Or at least gave us the option to use other skins.
Just my thoughts.
I have to point out that cannibalism is the consumption of the flesh of a sentient race by another sentient being not just an elf eating another elf otherwise if a black person ate a white person or vice versa it would not be cannibalism. I say this because there is as much difference between someone of Asian or Caucasian decent as there is between the concept of an elf and a human.
That being said I hate the new design for elf armor it looks ridiculous other than that the elves look like skinny humans with pointy ears its just the graphical design of armor that makes them look different in the game and tattooing. Also I think the cannibal thing is some kind of strange nod to the AD&D Darksun setting at least that is what it seems like.
