They Ain't Human

[Adipose]

Never will understand why so many modders want Elves to look like humans. If ya make'em look like humans, what's the point of having Elves? Is it because the modder wants the abilities that come with Elves but prefers the human look? Booring!!!

Some people have different tastes.

I always use human skin textures in place of elf ones, and I can tell you why.

 

To me, most vanilla-style elf skin textures, even if they're nice HD ones, come across like a person wearing rubber prosthetic makeup, because of the weird wrinkles and stuff. They look like old Star Trek aliens. When you replace the textures with human ones, they just look like they have a different bone structure than humans, and to me it's way more realistic and immersive.
