Elves in Lineage rock. You start with a bow. Bows just rock. You can shoot things from far away and they die. This is sort of on the level of cavemen discovering the joys of AK-47s on the hunt for my limited Lineage skills.
Elves also can see in the dark.
Lineage is serious about its darkness - you have a light radius of about 3 inches from your nose when you leave town, but elves can see the entire screen. Albeit in some strange flourescent green, but that's a minor detail. Elves also can cast spells and probably get all the girls. So my next hour or so in Lineage was as an Elf. Eventually I ran out of arrows, and then I discovered the dirty secret of elves.
