Ideally what should elves be like in fantasy games?
sexbags
fuckmeat
Pre-Tolkein elves (fairies)
Depends on the setting and style of gameplay.
NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!
Onaholes
Noble, grand, melancholic but far from hopeless. Sophisticated, wise and knowledgeable. Skilled in crafts and art, and capable warriors and mages.

These are exactly the shitposts you wanted.
Yes, I get it that some animu boobs with pointy ears prompt threads to turn into vile elf-hate dumping grounds.
Why is that, curious.
supposedly superior to humans in every way
always getting captured, enslaved, raped, etc. by orcs or regular dumbass humans or whatever
They are doing it on purpose
They should be happy.
And they should make (You) happy.
That is your mind on elf-hate and porn.
The Dark Elf General mogs every over girl in that game so hard.
>supposedly superior to humans in every way
Not even Tolkien describes them as that.
That's pretty much just a strawman so that you can jerk off whatever fantasy race or humans you find much cooler.
This, Elves are known most for their many abilities. When you live for centuries you have the ability to spend a decade or two learning a single task. Elves tend to be "Renaissance Men", people who can do a little bit of everything to a proficiency that most men would have to train the bulk of their lives to accomplish. However it is this fleeting nature that is their downfall, for they are accustomed to drifting from interest to interest that digging in your heels for something truly long term that may require a century or more of planning isn't satisfying. It's this lack of commitment that sees Men surpass elves in specific skills.

Not even Tolkien describes them as that.
Physically, he does.
Tolkien elves lived forever and has a good understanding of how the world works, most importantly magic. An elf bowman is more effective than a human bowman due to the difference of centuries or even millenia of training, but in the end theyre still working with a mortal body that can be killed by a rusty Ork dagger.
Built for Orcish men
It's this lack of commitment
Even faggy D&D 5e describes them as being able to be determined and focused.
Elves focusing on a variety of skills makes sense, but not for humans just always beating them at everything. Nothing stops an elf to become a masterwizard and pick up some swordfighting on the side.
supposedly superior to humans in every way
They were superior, XXXX years ago. Setting elves are almost always scrubs from a bygone era. All that orc rapists are eating scraps.
And more humans are raped by orcs than elves what the fuck are you on, orcs would rather use an elf waistbone as a collar than even touch their twiggy genocidal skins with their dicks.
Certainly not video games, according to this thread.
elves are for lewding
Fat and soft.
dude stop, this board is SERIOUS now, didn't you see the other mildly not safe images were deleted ? we are on a SERIOUS board like Anon Babble now, no more of this shit !
holy plap...
Breedable
Oh fuck you anon, nothing in here has anything to do with video games.
Elf-haters and coombrains working together to never have a good thread about this fictional race.
Humans, except better.
I wish more games had elves.
personal onahole for MC ditched later for a better girl
The cat girl one? Nah, Misery and the Good Dark Elf are the best.
will WoW elves ever be surpassed ?
This entire series of comics is actually pretty funny
Do they even have that bodyshape ingame?
Don't ask a coomer about actual video games.
Noldorfag has been at it for AT LEAST 10 years. Possibly longer
lol
they're cucked, just like the rest of modern WoW. it's over for WoW elves. Anyways, elves
That never happened, though.
idk
I love white women so much it's fucking unreal.
Redditbuddy
stay
imagine if we got wow elves in real, well made games instead of MMOslop
nope, it was always the CG and art
like this
eeeyup, high statted armor of course
Utter cunts.
Elves should be fucking stacked
Like immortal demigods?
rapeable
Walking talking mana tank.
All these things, but also weak to human cock.
big boobs, sensitive ears, naive, and good at magic*
Chloe is for love
Is vq2 translated yet?
no
What color hair should elves have? Should they always be blonde?
Naked
implying humans don't also get captured, enslaved, raped, etc. by orcs or regular dumbass humans as well
One thing doesn't nullify another. Elves can still be superior to other races on an individual level, but as a society they just lack the numbers to resist human and orc expansion. Blame their long lifespans as the reason they don't breed like rats.
no, blonde, brunette, redhead, white, black (dark elf) are all nice
its just the same with big ears
Always golden haired if they are regualr elves, always silver haired if they are dark elves.
this but with a secret lust for BHC because the men are effeminate and lack any sexdrive
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.
Probably proud, high class, skilled, and attractive. But also make them have the down sides of being so long lived. They are all trapped in the past, care way more about old rivalries more than anything else, resistant to change, maybe even have it bite them in the ass.
Muh waifu Irliet is the best.
Depends on the video game.
Blame their long lifespans as the reason they don't breed like rats.
Rats and other short lived animals reach sexual maturity fast and have huge liters. Even presuming Elves have human-tier libido and each elven female was just constantly pregnant, then they'd still be limited to one or two, maybe three offspring per pregnancy each year. A war or plague would quickly wipe away the numbers of fertile elves, leaving only juveniles, and for all we know it takes elven girls decades until they reach their first menses. It's no wonder Elves are usually depicted as being isolationists or as vassals/allies to humans, it'd take centuries for their population to recover from a war.
Write elves but make them pre-tolkien elves
Female elf mage
or
Female elf archer
Which one?
mage for me
Big boobs = mage
Medium to small boobs = archer
genuinely tough question but then posted such a sensible answer.
smart
Elf magic should be innate and subtle
Studying spellbooks and casting from tomes is for humans
decades until they reach their first menses.
Wut, then do elves have a finite number of eggs? If they did, then their periods would have huge gaps in between. It's such a headache applying real world biology to fantasy races, which is why most fantasy authors just don't, they just scribble some bullshit about elven couples wishing for a child and then they get pregnant because magic.
I like me elves as magic innovators (contrary to the trope of elves being backwards, their have their own science instead), but this is also a based idea, making them more innately magical.
In what way they're superior? Even in Tolkien's books they''re nothing but prideful whiny cunts with gay magic and no civilization.
b-but they have a civilization in heaven
Yeah, in a place where there are no hardships and everyone is immortal.
Even in Tolkien's books they''re nothing but prideful whiny cunts with gay magic and no civilization
You never read a single one of them.
Huh, the long lived, highly intelligent, peaceful, morally superior, empathetic race gets over run by the violent subhumans tribes?
Was this some kind of warning against immigration?
Elves on Anon Babble have always been an excuse for white and asian nerds to act like niggers or arabs do around white women.
Noble, long-lived, wise, skilled, but arrogant and proud to a fault.
okay but 1. it's Anon Babble, not some inner city slum and 2. elves don't exist, white women do
it's Anon Babble
Threads on other boards aren't any different, none of you care about elves, you just jerk off to them.
elves don't exist
Yes, glad you figured that out. People are larping.
Incredible insight

There's model swap mods but installing those was fucking retarded so I never got to try. Haven't played in ages though.
Elves never created anything as grand or marvelous as humans or dwarves did. They generally built small cities, some of which were architecturally beautiful, but that was about it. And, all of them met the same fate, ceasing to exist, because elves were simply too ineffective at sustaining anything, even when their civilizations were relatively small, and then fags run away and told humans to suffer more for them.
There is one good saying - Elves are Jews with pointy ears and gay magic. Perfect description.
Jesus fucking Tolkien, the amount of lies and retarded bullshit in your average off-topic coombrain shitthread.
It makes perfect sense. You need a certain level of population density for progress to happen. That's why the nordics were behind the rest of the world for so long. They had tiny populations who were too busy trying to survive the winter.
elves are for BHC
Coombrain = elf-hater.
