Elves that actually look like a distinguishable race and not just humans with pointy ears
When any part of a fantasy race is just Human+, it's usually pretty boring. Elves are the worst offenders of this, so its nice when their design makes them a recognizably different race.
I'm not too much of a fan of making their skin-tone a weird color and calling it a day because that's just the least interesting way to go about it. Giving them facial structures/body proportions/anatomy that humans don't have is the better way to do it.
I don't mind if they look wholly alien (TES) or just kinda uncanny (Dragon Age 2 & Inquisition), I just want it to be so, if you made an elf wear a beanie or something, they wouldn't be completely indistinguishable from a human.
