How does Dark Elf as a race stack up against alternatives?

For a mage in my case. Is ultra vision much of an upgrade over the other visions types on green? How valuable is the hide skill?

They pretty much have only innorruuk as a deity, the symbol items seem decent (clicks snare sounds pretty useful).

Stats wise they seem alright?

Being evil screws you over I imagine for town access.

Race really doesn't matter much for mage. Stats are all pretty close and wont matter at the end of the day, no notable racials outside of tinkering for gnomes. Ultravision might be nice after we see a "fixed"/stopping point in the developer's attempt at fixing nighttime. Being evil is almost never a real hindrance, if anything it just means you don't need to manage some factions and have additional hunting options.

Play whichever you enjoy looking at the most (Dark elf has near top-tier fashion).
