I should have been clearer. I'm fine with lizards looking however Larian would like them to look.
As for elves, they did indeed suffer from a distortion in DOS 2. At least, they never looked like that in the earlier Divinity games. I'd prefer to for their appearance in DOS 2 to go the way of magical and physical armor in that game. That said I think that there is plenty of room for compromise between the appearance of elves in DOS 2 and elves as pointy-eared humans. I also feel much more positive about the way their culture was developed in DOS 2 than about the way they looked.
