Character Creator in DAD

Character creations is one of my favorite parts of playing any RPG, and I always get sorely disappointed when we are given few customization options. I was mostly very happy with the CC in DA:I, but felt the one in ME:A was quite lackluster. So I thought, let's all share what we would like to see in terms of character creation in a future DA title! 

For starters, as much as I liked all the races we got available in DAI I think they should perhaps offer fewer in the next title if it would make it easier for them to write a cohesive story. Which races that should be kept I don't really have an opinion on, although Human is almost a certain. I would like to see our choice of race and possibly background have a bigger impact on how you interact with people in the game. I would also really like for them to bring back origins like we had in DA:O, even if they are not playable, as they to me it improves on the role-playing aspect (although actually playing them, even if they are short, would be awesome).

As for the physical aspects of creating a character I think DA:I was really on the right track - you could easily create characters that looked very distinct. The only downside was really the hair, but I think they made some improvements here with ME:A (although a lot can still be done). These are some of the things I really liked about the DA:I's CC:

- Being able to freely choose the color of eyes and also give them two different tones (just wish it could be done separately for each eye)
- Same hairstyles available for men and women (just wish fewer were bald/balding)
- The way you could make minute changes that could really change the whole look of a character
- The many different parts you could change (jowls, tip of the nose, forehead, and so on)
- That it was pretty easy to use once you got the hang of it (obviously not as easy as sliders, but with a little practice it wasn't that hard)

I looked at a video that showcased the CC for the game Monster Hunter World, and I have to say I was impressed by the looks of the characters. I would love for the devs to look at this and take some inspiration! The hairstyles are great and offer nice and varied short to medium length hairdos.  


  

Despite the fact that there is a bit of a "cartoony" feel to the faces they still look reasonably realistic, and they fit DA's style pretty well. I also liked how you could move around the face-paint and place it to your liking. I also like that you can change the lighting in the CC and see how your character looks in daylight/shadows, and I really think we need this in DA. 

What are your thoughts? What would you like for the CC in a future DA title? What other CCs are there and what did they have that you think DA also should implement?
