I would prefer that they went against accepted fantasy tropes by never having elves or dwarves in the first place, lol.

I wouldn't like them ret-conning elves like that though ... like, I dunno. I see a lot of people saying they want to play buff muscular elves with beards and I'm just like... um, why don't you play as a dwarf or human? Because you're describing a literal dwarf or human lmaoWhich is why, yeah, restricting to one race would be a bad idea, especially elves. I think it's a pretty select group of people (especially among men) who opt to play as an elf. Dragon Age is generally all about letting the player be the hero, letting the player customize their experience. They had an extra year of development time for DAI which is why race options got added in last minute. I have a feeling they'll be part of the build from the get go for DA4, especially considering how long they're taking on it. Because subverting common stereotypes and going against accepted tropes is fun and makes me happy. Why would I want to play elfy elves or dwarfy dwarves when I could do something more interesting than doing the most obvious thing? Fair enough I like the tropes, I guess, at least those tropes. I'm a big elf-lover, so... xD

Subversion of stereotypes, constantly, no matter where I go!

Meaning, mods. he looks pretty damn cool, great work on his appearance Naw, I actually redid him like 5 times and got so fed up I just deleted him. This happens to 95% of my Inquisitors oop. I went back to being pretty and beating up eggs. Still, I would like some facial scruff for elves. But that's TOO MUCH TO ASK APPARENTLY.

But that's TOO MUCH TO ASK APPARENTLY. *pats back* I know how you feel and just to make you feel better, I'm currently making a male elven Dalish Warden (for a later playthrough once I've completed my mage) with scruff also 'cause the toolset gives me the option, so there's that
(not what you asked for, I know...but I thought I'd put it out there, just in case)

I went back to being pretty and beating up eggs. Still, I would like some facial scruff for elves. But that's TOO MUCH TO ASK APPARENTLY. I say there's going against stereotypes - which I very much approve - and going against lore, and beardy elves are probably the latter. If, in that world, elves have no facial hair, then giving your elf a beard breaks world consistency. Having the potential for beards is, after all, not your choice. Else you'd have to assume that elves can have beards, but somehow none chose to have one in ten thousand years.
Psychology is fair game, however. Having notoriously tree-cutting elves rather than tree-hugging ones here and there would be interesting.

I love the idea of the qunari protagonist being a gladiator slave. (I guess it raises the question of 'does Tevinter have mage gladiators?' but given that we know they keep mages as slaves I bet they are the kind of people who love watching mages in the arena. More fireballs that way.) As for why you're allowed to walk around loose at the beginning of the game - there is every chance the story will begin in a place that's being attacked by the Qunari army. Which would give any slave protagonist a good chance to get away, especially if they're fighting against the Qunari. Yaaass! It's funny because I decided long ago that one of my Adaar's parents had been captured and used for pit fighting in Tevinter. So, same concept.

He was pretending to be an elf.
Or had hormonal issues.
Anyway, Solas and Fenris also had some fine, fine hairs on their faces if I'm not mistaken.

You know, if elves can't grow facial hair (for whatever dumb reason), I wonder what other kind of hair they can't grow.

I'm not really seeing it but there's also the possibility that I'm half blind. I think you're right on your first point, Sarel must've bought those cheep plastic ears from Dragon Age's version of party city.
