I've definitely seen that for non-Pale Elves. Coastal Aumaua, even, iirc.
I've seen both of these for my Wood Elf.
Also apparently Tekehu get's people coming up to him in the streets A LOT considering how many times I've seen somebody say 'Another time, Tekehu'
I've had multiple people comment on me being from Deadfire which is nice.(Even if I'm regretting using my Deadfire Watcher for my first playthrough...it was not perhaps the best idea since I know NOTHING...although they did a decent job at telling you what you would know in the responses or text without feeling forced or dumb which is nice. Not great ALL the time but decent which is awesome actually. A lot of games have a hard time balancing between the player may not know this BUT their character is from the area and I feel they did pretty well here.)
