I get you like this art style, and there is nothing wrong about that (and is unique for sure). But I don't care so much for it, in-fact it was the primary thing I did not like about the divinity series which I enjoyed otherwise. So, I will be happy to see them adopt the art style of elves and orcs around the interpretations of them from a century of literature. Been a fan of fantasy with elves from Tolkien, Witcher, countless fantasy series and games and the extreme deviation just pull me out of it. If they do it this way I'll still play it though assuming the game play is great as Larians creations, just don't care much for it.
I sort of think of this akin to being a Star Trek Fan. We all know what Vulcans look like. If a new sci-fi came out with "Vulcans" along the line of star trek that look entirely different I just don't think it will be accepted by fans. Same with any other genre where there are long defined. What I would be more interested in, is if they had proper elves but then had another race altogether introduced that actually is very alien in appearance. In my tiny brain (not claiming I'm anything other than a mouth breather) it just works just like I would prefer Vulcans look like Vulcans if adopted in variants of star trek.
