This would allow Larian to maintain its unique aesthetics for elf armor, but give those of us who may not love the look an in game option that thematically fit for a more covered/physically protected look (my elf knight just looks a bit odd as is so exposed).


That's already the case. Lighter armors are leafy, heavier armors are wood. It's only your "more covering" comment that would be any change from the way things are. And that is a point of view and one worth considering. But it's not one that I subscribe to. The elves have their aesthetic. I think it works for them. Their "skin" is already wood, so... *giant shrug*
