    Usually opinions are founded on something.  When something is generic, that implies a context of other generic things too compare against. So chimer being generic suggest they don't distinguish themselves from the base-line; they don't diverge.

    I see nothing separating them from typical fantasy elves, with the exception of transforming into the Dunmer.

    Sure, though by that token I can't imagine how the Dunmer would seem like anything but generic dark elves, or the Altmer as typical fantasy elves.

    I'm with Veloth: Chimer are in no way generic. The only difference between them and the Dunmer is the color of their skin and eyes, which is only a small part of what makes the Dunmer unique and awesome.

    If anything, the Altmer and Ayelids are far more like "generic fantasy Elves" than the Chimer.
