Character Creator in DA:O - impressions

Oh, I know there are plenty of mods...

But I was going vanilla, and did a fest of creating every race/gender combos to create a character for each background. I ended up with two Human nobles, because my first character was an Elven Mage.

Overall, my impressions were:

Tattoos applications were the best I have ever seen, but I missed scarring.

Holy cow, the Dwarven females are really pretty in this game! I think my dwarven female was my best female from the lot. I did not like the look of the Elven females, and Human females were Okay, but did not really strike me either way. Dwarven ones though, OMG.

Human males - I fought and fought, but I could not make my favorite oriental style human. Ah, well. In the end I did not mind the result, but want to remake it to look more like Duncan. Also needs a slightly more neutral stubble color, because it looks too dark in the game. At least it did in the Estate. Male dwarves and male elves were great. Would not mind a few more creative beard types for the dwarves.

The hairstyles, as ever is the worst part of any character creators. Save for obvious texture problems, I would not have minded more interesting braiding/beading/feathers/flowers, as it seemed to have fit the setting.

EDIT: forgot to add: that dark background in the character creator? Ouch. need different light conditions, if possible. Very hard to get the skin shade right, they all look way pale in the game.
