Yep, truly is a DnD game.
A whole boatload of elves

AS for the looks.

DnD elves have become increasingly more human (and increasinlgy more short)
If you want Ayy Lmao looking elves youll probably have to turn to Elderscrolls or Vermintide

Im actually happy enaugh that the player characters look somewhat attractive by normal human standards so im not realy miffed by the elves not looking... overly fay like.
This all leads to the question of character creation tho.

Will there be sliders? i better hope so but larian doesnt usualy do that, also the faces look very handcrafted...
Tho, for your point i guess beeing able to make a very elfin lookng elf wouldnt satisfy you as your point is to make elves as a whole look alien.

I guess FR is just too much of a fetish fest for ugly elves


We know about the Drow, Half Drow, Half Elf, and High Elf, but the Wild Elf is certain to be in as well, and there is a good chance Shadar Kai Elves (they retconned Shadar Kai into being Elves all sorts of rammifications for that), Eladarin Elves (the Feyish Kind, not Celestial, with four subsub races based on the seasons), Sea Elves will also be in.

And High Elf includes fluff wise Sun, Star, and Moon Elves.

But if you think that is alot of Elves, that is nothing compared to Tieflings. They are confirmed as using the MTOFs Tieflings with subraces, there are NINE Tiefling subraces in that book, one for each Archedevil/Layer of Hell. Plus they might have Feral Tieflings from the SCAG as well.
