What makes elves fun to play?

@dnd

Something I’ve been puzzling over with my #homebrewdnd stuff is about the classic #dnd elf. I don’t really know what makes the Elves a compelling race to play. I’m thinking of changing them quite significantly for my campaign, but how far can I change them until they no longer hit the same buttons?

    I play a wood-elf monk in my current campaign, and part of the power fantasy for me is being fast, lithe, and graceful. I think people may go for high elves for the majestic, pristine, timeless feels. And Drow for a sort of “tainted perfection” vibe? Not sure.
