Elf Pawn

I took a quick look at the character generator and could not find a Elf pawn option. I recall reading that there was going to be Elf side kicks, partly so you can get a handle on the language.
Will these come later?

As far as I know, the only way to play elves is to make your ears pointy during character creation. But I think actual elves aren't a race you can play. I think they even use the base human model in the main game with pointy ears as well. :>

I heard they could somehow learn the language? But I have seen no confirmation on this just forum talk.

Something about specializing so you would need diverse pawns to understand or something? But idk how much it is true.

Pawns have different specialization. One of those specializations is the ability to speak Elvish. If you have a pawn that can do this and they happen to have pointy ears, you can happily pretend they're an Elf. That seems to be as far as it goes.

More or less this is what I have heard but I'm not going out of my way for potential spoilers lol

Youtubers kept saying how only pawns could be elves. Which is weird when it's not an option in the character creator.. Or at least the partially pointed ears are the same for player and pawn. So I have no clue what they are referring to.. or what this language thing is about..

My only guess is that there are maybe characters you can recruit that are not player pawns and those can be full elves? Though that feels like it goes against the pawn system. So idk.. I also didnt know about the language-based specializations. Im not sure how that changes their race from human but maybe? Is it only for elven or is there like dwarven/ or beastren language and such?

Elves are just humans with pointy ears, which you can make. It doesn't need it's own special race and it certainly doesn't need to be catered to as such a boring and unoriginal concept.

Thanks all, I was not interested in making an elf outside of the game mechanics of understanding the language.
I thought it was a cool feature to have you need to learn another language or have a translator to access certain things.
