There was quite HUGE topic about that ... but im too tired to search for it now. :-/
Basicaly the thing was that no elf have actualy elvish face (eye shape, eye rotation, triangular face instead of round, etc. etc.), and they all simply looks like pointy eared humans ... Wich is kinda understandable, since Larian is using that face scanning technology ... but that dont makes it right.
Maybe "change" is a too strong word for it ... But it would be certainly nice, to have at least one, or two actualy elvish faces in options ... Also ... it kinda makes me worried about Half-Orcs. :-/
I know what topic you are talking about, but the opinion regarding the appearance of elves is controversial. Not all people even in this topic agree with this direction, so I don't think that Larian will change anything in the design of elves.
I believe that the design of the elves has changed over time, it concerns their faces. I admit that the body models can be replaced, but I do not believe that the faces need any editing. Otherwise, you will have to change every significant NPC in the game, according to this design.
Add more versions for player selection? Yes. Change general design? Absolutely not.
Look at the art for video "Sleep Sound". I think this applies not only to BG3.
Yeah, I kinda like my Elves the way they are now: tall and slender or athletic gorgeous human-like faces with mid-sized/non-elefant ears. (Edit was for typos)
