And it worked, didn't it? Why stop there? Why not go further? There could be elves from the east that resemble Mongol horsemen, or sky elves that live in clouds and use wind to attack from above. Elves aren't intrinsically a better choice than anything else, but people are discounting them because "it's been done before."
I got the impression that they were being discounted because the entire game is about elves, so why have another elf? That and before Origns came out, there was comstant "we need elves" posts. You got elves and now you want more? There could be ongol horsemen or wind weilding beings. Why do they hae to be elves?
Origins is a prequel, and takes place several decades earlier than KR and KRF. The technology of the Saurians made sense, because increased technology could be seen throughout KRF. Even in KR, artillery and tesla coils had already been invented, and in the sequel, it was taken further. DWAARPS, Mechas, and Dark Forges all are highly advanced technology. Saurians made sense as a high-tech race. Meanwhile in Origins, there isn't even any gunpowder, and each enemy group is equal to or worse than the elves in terms of technology and innovation.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
And there is both gunpowder, and evidence of a robot in the current beta.
