#elf noses

[littleglowingwolf]

i went on a rant this morning so i figure i'll put it here

ok so like this is an Extremely Big Deal for me, because it has to do with elf noses in dragon age 2, all the elves have noses that are extremely (i've learned) grecian, where they just go straight from forehead slope to nose, with almost no bridge dip

evidence below the cut where i go completely off the rails over elf noses (slip n slides)

case in point:

(the one with the keeper is feynriel, a half elf)

and they kind of did it in DAI, with some art like the paintings and tarot:

and sera does have the elven/grecian nose in DAI

but solas outside of the art has a defined bridge dip (idk what it's called for real, i'm not a noseologist

but by the time we get to DATV, elves just look like humans with pointy ears. and that's not to say they don't look extremely hot, but... the noses are just human.

with the exception of solas, who got a huge glow up (complimentary) that made his forehead longer which allowed the bridge dip to look less severe.

but basically , it used to seemingly be a racial trait and they slowly phased it out in the game designs and it makes me extremely sad because i fucking love it

and don't say it has to do with procreating with humans over time because solas has it

yes solas picked his own body, that's something, but for him to choose to make a nose that doesn't look like literally anyone else's nose seems wild

ANYWAY thanks for coming to my TED talk, Grecian Elf noses forever

I’m REALLY sad that they didn’t keep the elven nose look from Dragon Age 2 in Inquisition...Honestly, I think about it all the time, it really set elves apart from humans and gave them character.  I tried as hard as I could to get Mahanon’s nose to look elven with that cool, flat bridge but it just didn’t work and I feel like they really lost something cool there...
