The point is that the purpose of the topic is not which variation of a creature you like, but that the developers did not pay attention to mythology, but only to works of fiction. It's just interesting, where did Ursula K. Le Guin get so much information about drow? Did she see them? Why is she so sure that they live like that? Why do everyone make dark elves, not as they are in myths, but as they are in books? Why are Tolkien's elves completely different? Why does everyone believe that what is written there is true? Of course, everyone is free to write in their stories as they like, but still, the template has already been created, and all innovations will be met with hostility.
And have you seen elves? You probably know so much about them that you could write an encyclopedia: "Elves and Me" (no offense).
Why are Tolkien's elves completely different? Why does everyone believe that what is written there is true?
What does "true" mean? I repeat that the heroes are a fairy tale, and what the Nival developers came up with is their nonsense.
