Larian has stated from the beginning that they want this game to be inclusive. They have features that are representative of our world so that people can play a character that looks like them. Who cares if their elves can appear to have Asian, European, or African features? Its not about being accurate to a fantasy world its about making sure everyone is represented. If you have an issue with that maybe you should reevaluate your life.
It's a high fantasy title, why do you think people wouldn't care if choices where made to dilute this?
Elves in FR are meant to have angular, elongated and alien features and their renown for beauty is not just due to their unblemished skin or fair features but subtle magical grace. By changing the features to make everything homogenous and consistent with reality not only are you diluting the identity of the race but also the source material and high fantasy aspects of the game. Homogenization is not inclusion because regardless of anything else you cannot and will never be an elf and inclusive options are already present in human races. I can understand this mentality for the half races but pure elves? I don't think we should constrict creativity and dilute originality to appease a fantasy that can never be fulfilled.

I am here to discuss a video game. Please do not try to rope me into anything other than that. Thank you.
