are u shure that elfes can be neutral in Bg1? I seem to recall me choosing a half elfe to be able to be chaotic neutral.
And in what way are elves better than humans? exept infra vision? They shure are cooler thou. I have always thought behind the fog of war, but i have to have a powerfull character, with a small party to raise the gaming experience. I don't think powergaming (and i do not include cheating)is bad, if u even it out someway, like me, i've got 2 ppl in my party exept me. (18,18,18,9,9,20)and i choose not to wear a helmet chaotic neutral elf, style is king ;)

And why not remove the option elven mage instead? The argument for that could be : "it takes hundreds of years to become a true elven mage" , besides, i do not like them. Or why not decrease the elven hp instead? I don't think humans fit in the role of the "warrior of the forest"-role
