Also was very surprised about little to none reaction on half drow.
Feel free to corect me anyone if im wrong ...
But i think Half-Drow is Larian invention ... like they werent the thing before BG-3.
(Wich kinda makes sense ... no Drow would ever ebarase themself by having sex with any of "lesser races" ... aswell as no human should have the desire ... even tho on the other hand, it seems much easier to me than having a thing for Orcs. :-/ Ugh. )
And about why so many people dont miss them ... well, there is entire threat about that topic:
https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=686081#Post686081The way i understands it, Elves "should" look a LOT less human-like ...
But since Larian is scaning human heads for their models, they dont have properly alien elf look ... but there "should" be clear difference ... therefore people cant misstake Elf (or Drow) for Half-Elf (or Drow), bcs they simply are different.
The way i excuse absence of this in the game itself, is that Elves are simply too unknown for my Middle Europian bran to catch the small details ... i reason it the same in games that uses same model for every alien race (like Batarians, Krogans, Turians, Salarians or Vorcha in Mass Effect).
I dont want to sound racist, but when i see pictures of some Asian people, i often dont see much difference between them aswell ... so, this would probably be simmilar case.
