I was waiting for a moment to start this classic-style BSN thread, and I think these tweets from Mark Darrah do that:

Mark Darrah ✔ @biomarkdarrah

"Ah. No body customization planned for the Freelancer, just face and hair"

[Beards?]

Mark Darrah ✔ @biomarkdarrah

"I think so"

All I want to know is if I can give my Javelin a Mohawk made of long metal spikes:)

Edit: Of course that means I'll have to thrown on some Sex Pistols and pay homage to our UK friends while wrecking stuff. Ooh, I wonder if I'll be able get some head-butting action.

That's what I was thinking. If the hub is first person we would rarely see our face anyway.

I am not expecting an in-depth customization of the Freelancer since the majority of our time in the game is going to be in a Javelin. If anything my guess is that it is going to be a lot like The Division with just a few choices you get to put together to give some resemblance of choice of character.

I think even BioWare making a 'limited' CC for the Pilot couldn't come up with something as bad as The Division, could they?

Its party a guess based on how BioWare over-reacts to things and keeping my expectations low.

From my limited understanding there would have been enough time after the launch of Andromeda for BioWare to redesign how the Freelancer faces worked since they kept so much of the game away from us. So they could have decided to go for a more generic face to prevent the animation issues during dialogue (as limited as it might be) to prevent the meme factory from going into overdrive again. Its why some games have great syncing of dialogue to character for they only have to make sure one facial structure is talking and not a large possibility like in BioWare's design cases.

Of course, you could equally say it wouldn't be a Bioware game without terrible hair options...or 14 variations of bald. Although MEA was bit better...or should I say a hair better.

I really don't understand the first person perspective in the hub bit. What's the point?

Personally I think it's backwards. While I know some balk at the first person shooter thing, it would've made more sense to have the Javelin HUD basically be our game screen, with our character in 3P in a non-combat area, like, well...Destiny.

Well, remember that Javelins apparently have retractable face plates. So we could still see our faces (probably not hair) outside in story cutscenes.
