Why have elves remained such a popular and beloved part of games for so long?
Human male x Elf female
Ah yes, the thread on /tg/ hit the image limit.
Warcraft was literally built on two High Elf heroines having sex with human men and starting a family with them
Everyone simply loves elves.

Hmm. Why is this staple of fantasy present in fantasy games? Guess we'll never know.
>>747632093They’re hot
>>747632093Elves are the Asians of the gaming world. And everyone loves Asians, those who don't are just embittered and jealous (see jeets).
>>747633067I want a wood elf who also hurls slurs
>>747633141Weeb
>>747633142"YOU... DOUBLE ACORN!"
>>747633141Shut the fuck up chinsect
>>747633141>race of ancient blonde magical forest people based on aryan myth>"east asians"Sure buddy.
>>747633191>>747633337>>747633343Here come the jeets now.
>>747633063Gib drow wife
>>747632093I wish they bothered with at least retouching if not wholesale making a new model for the skyelves.
>>747632995Warcraft didn't start with WoW.
>>747633369Mongoloids are closer to gnomes than to elves.
>>747633063Dark Elf Sexo
>>747633343The real world historical basis for elves was east asians making their way to europe via the silk road and looking way younger than everyone there because they don't age like milk.
>>747633067Where dark elf?
>>747633513>blizzard >putting in even the slightest bit of effort
For me, it's dark elves
Dark elf.
>>747632093>Tall>Northern European appearance >Light hair (usually: blonde, white)>Light eyes (usually: blue, green)>intelligentBecause they are white, and everyone wants to play a beautiful white character. Simple as.
>>747632093because niggas like big titty bitches
>>747640268Thats not the reason.. Lots of vidya elves are flat and still are popular.
>>747635831The prertty elves are based off the Aesir from Norse mythology which have nothing to do with Asian people - you're just out here on the internet straight talking porkies
>>747632093>Long-lived, Ancient>Neotenous East Asian appearance >Silky straight hair, never curly like whites>Slanted eyes, high cheekbones>Intelligent (Asians have the highest IQs)Because they are Asian, and everyone wants to play a beautiful Asian character. Simple as.
The asians in question.
>>747633343Teclis forgot the sheath for his sword lol
>hai guyz violent orc hordes can't be based on a certain kind of humans because they superficially don't resemble them, they're green!do you retards even listen to yourselves?
>>747641929I don't think vikings knew about asians, however. Elf office ladies
>>747635831nigga modern fantasy elves were basically invented by tolkien, who explicitly compared orcs to east asiansactual medieval elves people used to believe in were just your typical forest fairy that could kill you type of deal
>>747632093because they're white people and everybody wants to be them
Around Elves Watch Yourselves!
>>747642347Ironic post, considering the only certain kind of humans Tolkien ever compared Orcs to were east asians lol>squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types.
>>747633141Based
>>747633141Fuck off, retard. Tolkien's elves, from which vast majority of fantasy settings take inspiration from, are based on Scandinavian, Baltic, and Celtic mythology. It is orcs that are equivalent o east Asians because they are nomads.
>>747644094Asians = elves. Irl and in fantasy. Simple as.
Black elves thoughbeight
>>747636415>dark elf that racism mogs the high elffun premise for a comic
>>747632093why she only have one leg?
>>747632093Easy stand in for the “smug noble ancient race”, similar to dwarves being the stand in for “jewy stubborn father figure race”
>>747633141Now this is a gook cope if i've ever seen one.
>>747646753You are a retard comparing dwarves to that filth you should have used gnomes instead
I never really cared for any elf race in vidya besides Dunmer
>>747632093>why are men obsessed with ultra feminine slender blonde aryan women in tune with nature and un-perverted by civilization?wow i fucking wonder whyOP pic not related
>>747647098 Depends on the setting. Warhammer Dwarfs? Absolute mountain heebs.
>>747647103Still the best elf race entirely based on a video game.
>>747645085nice try
>>747639175>The drow graciously allows you to pass unspidered
>>747635831Euhemerization has gotten out of handElves are beings of the otherworld. The root of their name is cognate with the latin "albus" deriving from PIE meaning "white"Elves are shining spirits from the otherworld possessing terrible power to harm or reward. They are minor gods.
>>747633141>everyone loves Asians, those who don't are just embittered and jealous(conveniently omits the existence of male asians and the world not recognizing them as men)
The video games.
>>747648308*slaps the naval bronze leg strut*This dwemer siltstrider can haul so much metal and ingots! Immune to magic, and has a steam breath defensive attack!
