Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback The ugly, new look for elves

I can't understand why a classical elf would be wanted. I mean, do we want short, magical beings causing pranks? We already have imps for that. Elf is the Germanic/Norse version of the French fairy, the Irish leprechaun, and the dwarf (what elves were called later on in the Germanic world). If they are to be a different species in the game created by a specific god, they have to have their own look and, being children of the woodlands, thin and muscular fits quite well. I just can't see the purpose of and elf basically being a human with malformed ears.
