Let's not kid ourselves, it has always been a weird look that one of the basic races for the game is "One of your parents is an elf and the other a human, but you're all rare enough its not like a big ol civilisation or anything". Its been a weird look through this game's entire history I get they're a popular race and am totally cool with them coming in something else, but why should they bloating the PHB with their presence? Every single other race in the game has some sort of unique mechanic to them, some unique "This is you" thing, why should one be added in who's entire mechanic is "Surprise! You don't have one, you're just a blend"As someone heavily involved in one of those aformentioned video games, I can confirm they're not always popular in all of them. If you can find a single character build for Half Elves in NWN, I'd be shocked as I couldn't find any. And, well, even counting BG3's massive numbers, even the most popular D&D video game is a drop in the bucket compared to the absolute behemoths in the market like WoW or FFXIV, neither of who have half elves as a thing outside of rare circumstancesAs an Australian I am absolutely clueless on who any of these people are, but I would argue that you wouldn't add Donald Bradman into a modern cricket game about the 20 20, you'd want the relevant players from the current teams. Just because he was one of the greats doesn't mean you parade his corpse around for all eternity, you change things up based on the modern enviroment</blockquote>
