In terms of Elves, near-zero diversity outside of the subtypes. Elves are meant to be extremely attractive, idealized, and reclusive. It stands to reason that nearly all Elves would look similar to their own subtype to some degree due to these factors. The extreme patience, vanity and lifespans means they would not only be very attractive, but very well-kept. Wood Elves would be the same, as would Sand Elves, Sea Elves, Dark Elves, Moon Elves, etc. They all have the same factors. They don't even intermingle. Dark Elves and High Elves don't mix. The "uglier" ones who are lesser in all aspects are half-elves, and those don't typically get to stay in Elven societies. Even when it comes to presentation, you're talking about a race of people who don't see anything wrong with spending a full year making a single piece of body jewelry or a single cloak or even a pair of pants.
>tl;dr Sexy fuckpot Elves are the best depiction and anything less taints them because people see "closed community" and turn rabid.
I don't like Elves in most video games because 99.99% of games use them as a statblock shift, which is reasonable considering putting in true Elves would throw things off balance. Strategy games with asymmetrical factions tend to do them better.
