I'd be fine with only being able to play as a human if it meant we got even better animation. I vote for a dwarf-only game. :ulikeit:

I'd be fine with only being able to play as a human if it meant we got even better animation. People hate this opinion, but I agree. It also potentially means more romance options, as they wouldn't have to animate for eight different heights and character models. Well, Dragon Age Inquisition was originally going to be human only before they got an additional year, and they still only would have had 6 romances. I mean the romance gating only happened with Cullen (and Solas but it works with the lore with Solas) as they only had a year to work on those compared to the other romances. No other races doesn't automatically mean other romance options or better animations, specially when they already did a lot of the modeling and animations for Frostbyte for those races anyway. I don't think they'd start completely from scratch for them from DA4, but I could be wrong? I thought that was what took up alot of resources making all the original species for MEA, both male and female versions, as they couldn't be imported over?

Why don't we just have a fixed protagonist while we're at it. /sarcasm

Its a pretty big leap in logic to go from one human customizable character, like Commander Shepard, Revan, or Hawke to a "fixed protagonist". Frankly the role playing differences between a human and a qunari, or a human and a dwarf In DA:I were so minute that they may as well have not existed. The only race that kind of got especially special treatment was the elves, and only because of Solas.

The only race that kind of got especially special treatment was the elves, and only because of Solas. If you want to do it to improve animation, the only way really to do it is to have a fixed protag. Alot of the animation problems in MEA people had a problem with in MEA were facial ones, you don't think that having a fixed character would have made it a lot easiar? I don't think Shepherd, Revan or Hawke actually did have better animation than the Inquisitor and they didn't have more romance options per game either. I think it's framing the arguement that way that is really the problem, getting rid of the races does not necessarily relate to improving the animation or romance options. You can argue how you didn't like how the different races were treated in DAI, but you definetly can't argue that you would have got better content or animation if it wasn't there. It's like with the War Table in the same game, getting rid of it, didn't meaning you would have got someof those quests as proper side quests.

Because they weren't planned from the start in DAI. That won't be an issue in DA4, the assets are already there, and they know that DA fans are vocally for Multiple Races or Bust.

I really like the CC from DAI. I'd like to see something like that with way more options for hair, scars, tattoos, markings etc. I don't need excessive realism, but I also don't want cartoonish characters.

I would like less options for hair, sliders that are more vague and harder to record/share, and for the lighting to be darker and less representative of the overall lighting of the game. Also make sure that I cant make my characters facial hair match the rest of their hair. Its also extremely important that I can only create a character after watching a long, unskipable cutscene, and there is no way to edit my character once in game.*coughs* THE EMPORIUM! You can change their appearance there!

Use DAI CC as baseline for customization freedom, but with:
1) Can't be said enough, BETTER HAIR compared to DAI. Though I actually like MEA hair, so maybe they figured it out at last.
2) more hair colors
3)Another good thing from MEA CC, asian characters never looked so good before, so that should be translated into a more open system if possible.
4) Ability to have multiple scars/tatoos at the same time, plus body tats.

Mainly good light, ability to look at your character in multiple angles, maybe a cut scene and gameplay modes so it shows what you will look like in all aspects of the game.
I'd like better facial hair, I grow better facial hair and 2 months in and its still patchy.
Not char gen but appearance related, I'd dig it if maybe crits gave you scars that you could fix if you wanted to.

Keep DAI's as a base but build on it by:
1.World relevant hairstyles, Medieval/Fantasy locks please, I don't need fade cuts and edgy bangs thanks. 2.Realistic looking facial hair. 3.Facial piercings and earrings. 4.I'd guess multiple body shapes would be too much, but I'd like to see perhaps a body tone slider, defined, slender, soft etc. 5.Body customization; Tattoos, scars, body hair, freckles. 6.Improve that damn lighting!

Choose any race and gender. Have many nice looking hairs and skin tones/ complexions. Vibrant colors. Add facial markings like more tattoos and scars. Also body tattoos would be nice.
