I've been barking that forever, but we are in a minority here, nobody seems to care, I guess only elf lovers. Elves are NOT supposed to look human, they are stated to appear 'haunting' and 'otherworldly', and it disappoints me the way they've been represented thus far.
I remember the controversy about the elves in DOS2 and in DA2/3. In DOS2 a lot of the criticism was dressed up in that they weren't sufficiently dressed up, but I suspect that in at least some cases it was a pretext for complaining that they weren't basically "pretty humans"; because in DA2/3 they
were sufficiently clothed but drew at least as much ire.
I'm sort of half-and-half on the issue: part of me likes the stereotype that is "attractive in an alien way... but mostly just attractive" and part of me thinks "well, they're supposed to be kinda alien to us so they should look like it."
As for diversity goes, considering there's 5-6 heads per race with only 1 or 2 caucasic looking heads, 1 mixed and the rest looking african or asian (even elves) they're doing a good job at that. Only we have too few faces to choose from atm.
The non-"white" ones are still too many for some. :| But as mentioned a few posts back, I would anticipate there'll be more choice by the time of the full release.
