What makes elves such a popular fantasy race?
>>735011256Making Ridiel feel even MORE uncomfortable with her half-blood lineage!
>>735011378That's rude!
>>735011256Sex
>>735011256Unironically because they're analogous to White people, and White people in fiction makes everything better. Yes, I am really unironically being unironic
sex
>>735011256They are Men's best friend!
>>735011256cute>>735011593repulsive
>735011637There are no differences between a pornbrain and an elf-hater.
>>735011593I dont like MMOs but this is a top tier design ngl
>>735011256it's the lewd ears
>>735012205Cute.
>>735011256because they're just humans with long ears and who live for a long time
>>735011256Vanillaware is the only dev that can make elves that don't make me wanna genocide elves.
>>735011256Because they're the only conventionally attractive non-human race in tolkien's work.
>>735012205A shame vidya/manga doesnt do more with their ears
>>735011256>Vidually similar to humans>Often portrayed as beautiful and athletic>Arguably part of the 'Holy Quarter' of fantasy; Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs>Often present to fill the role of either Dex characrer or Int character, as Dwarves fill the roll of Str character or Con character>Highly modular, lots of potential variety
This >>735011591.They are cooler humans. Slender, skilled and beautiful.Doesn't help that humans in fiction = USA, with token niggers. Even when humans aren't the boring cosmopolitan faction, they just aren't as cool as the perfect elves, instead having brutish unwashed looking characters.
>>735011591>constantly depicted as clashing with the violent and industrious at the expense of the environment nature of actual in-universe humans>hurr we wuz elves n shitBased retard.
>>735011975Human x Elf is the most patrician pairing, just how Tolkien intended it!
For me it's the long haired blonde elves
>>735013947Next vanillaware game when?
>>735014292My guess is 3 years
>>735011593Game?
>>735011256Repulsive>>735011593Cute
>>735011593would
>>735011256isn't she a filthy half-breed mongrel?
>>735017637No, shes a cute half elf
>>735016168Artist?
>>735011256It comes down to design. The ears make them distinctly non-human but in every other way they are human. That balance is key.
>>735011256this looks like from some ntr rape vn
>>735011256ahem blonde haired elf milf
>>735011256Would not have sex with>>735011593Would have sex with
>>735016168Looks like a goblin desu
>>735016168spoiler this, you freak
Elf maidens: Can't choose between em, game doesn't acknowledge that the other one gets passed over which feels weird. Virginia: Best Cousin/Sister/Wife/Mom with best missions but disappears from the plot after act 2Yunifi: Shows up, fawns over you, amazing unit, canonically largest ass in the entire universe, wants lots of kids
>>735019363Yahna: Great personality, amazing outfits, but remembering that she's actually an eighty-something year old hag makes it a little weird. Well, not weird enough for me to not pick her Scarlett: Her fat tits are her only notable feature. Even so, 95% of Japanese players will pick her purely because she is Generic Childhood Friend™Ramona: Mommy. Hot voice. Owl. But whoever at Vanillaware made her ring scene and ending completely platonic deserves the rope, immediately
is she the greatest elf character ever made?
For me?Dark Elves.
>>735020586that's not Pirotess
>>735020586She's a classic beauty doomed to an eternity of mourning for her love and her friends.
>>735021919
Why do elves antagonize humans when they simply cannot win
>>735021919She's pretty great.
>>735022000They are tsundere like that
>>735022469>>735021919she's the best
>>735021992
>cute & proud>soft, pointy ears>have soft spot for humansIt's a mystery.
>>735011256Their cute and sexy pointy ears. God I want to lick them so bad.
