Oh no! Creative art design! How terrible.
Seriously you people go on my nerves so much.
You keep screaming for the most boring and generic artwork.
I bet you are german.
Are you dense on purpose? That's not the point the OP is making.
If Larian is so "creative" how come they aren't able to come off with a creative name for this new race they created and instead call them generically "elves". Your comment is a contradiction, hilariously hypocritical for that is what you accuse others of doing.
And let's not forget all those creative "tr-ents", "mithral" armors, "dark elves", "halflings" etc.
Nothing wrong with creative design but calling them an already established name makes as much sense as calling turtles - humans. Turtles are not humans. Invent your own goddamn name.
It is particularly stupid that you call Germans names here, but German folklore is the reason Tolkien's laywers aren't all over the place.
