Elves in Divinity Original Sin: 2

Elegant, lithe, and nowhere near as naked as the picture on the right, elves are a key race within the Divinity Original Sin 2 world. They are skilled sorcerers and are able to consume the flesh of other races in order to gain their memories. They are easily identified by their sharp ears, broken English, and long limbs. As a result of their lean builds and swift movement, elves generally benefit from classes that focus on finesse.

Elves begin the game with two natural talents.

Elegant - Grants +2 to Finesse.

Elf(male)
Flesh Sacrifice
Corpse Eater - Allows you to eat certain body parts to gain memories of the dead, also grants some healing.

The Elves racial ability is Flesh Sacrifice.

Due to the Elves ability to gain memories from body parts they eat the Elves are probably the best race to play for story as you will gain more insight into characters and some relevant stories by consuming body parts.
