Character Creator in DAD

I'm lucky that I played DAI a year late so had the Emporium.  I visit maybe a dozen time in the first few hours, tweaking slightly after every cutscene.  However I didn't have that luxury in MEA, so I know the beginning of that real well.  Just shows how important it is to be able to go to the CC from the get go and not in a later patch/DLC.

At least it's not as bad as ME2.  Eight looooonnngggg minutes. 

Yeah it's impossible to judge till you see all the muscles moving when they emote, especially the 'poor me' downward mouth thing the IQ loves to do

I'd really like to be able to futz around more with the eyebrows. They weren't long enough to me, I'd have liked to be able to fill them in more, or shape them more to my taste.

Or use youtube like I did for one of my Inquisitors.

I will say DAI's character creator wasn't bad, but like others have mentioned, the hairstyles could use more variety. Instead of having x number of bald, how about x number of long hair to choose from?

This is such a good idea, omg.

Can't believe I didn't expand on this point earlier...but yes I hated the CC for Inquisition. Probably the worst part of the game. No codes, those stupid grid things, lots of options which seemed frivolous. I'd take Andromedas every day of the week (imo probably biowares best CC)

I had trouble getting brown eyes from the dai cc colour wheel, i could get a faded Brown, a yellowish brown, but I couldn't get the warm dark brown i was looking for. So an improvement on the colour wheels would be nice.

And better hair styles would be my main want for da4 cc.

Normal lighting instead of darkness would be nice.

But otherwise Dai had a pretty good cc.

don't listen to this bald-people-hate, biower

I'd like the option to choose eyebrow color separately from hair color. platinum blond hair for example I thought tended to look better with some kind of mod/workaround thing (I can't remember what it was exactly) that let me choose to have darker brows.

I'm always here for piercings and body tattoos, I love what we see in a couple pieces of concept art for instance where Dalish characters have vallaslin elsewhere not just the face.

don't force my female PCs to be feminine. my pet peeve. absolutely have the options so that it's totally possible tho for others, of course.

hyper-specific I guess but I also hate being forced to have Received Pronunciation english accents in games... being able to choose a voice was a god-send in DA:I. and at least in Andromeda I got to be American instead.

NEUTRAL LIGHTING god yes

bring back race selection pls I wanna be an elf 

It was easier to control in DAO. "Jaw: 2 times to the left. Eyes height: 5 times to the right."

Better lighting would be a start.

EDIT. Also, eye and eyebrow rotation. NON unisex hairstyles. Being able to manipulate both the top and bottom lip individually, rather than just overall lip thickness. I'm sure I'll think of more, but this is it for now.

For me, I really loved what they did with the character creator in DA:I. However, if I had to offer a suggestion to Bioware for character creator, I would ask them to look at BDO's character creator for some inspiration. Personally, I love that with BDO you can pick between a certain number of hairstyles but you can tweak their length and style to make them completely unique from anyone else. And with longer hair, you can toggle the hair being up in a ponytail or a bun as you please. Especially with certain head gear.
Having more customizable lounge clothing would be nice too. Perhaps something like in the Sims 3 where you can pick fabrics and colors for furniture. Maybe we could do the same thing for lounge clothing. Fashion is endgame, as they say.
Beyond that, I really hope that if Qunari are a playable race again, we can pick horns separate from the hair this time.
Lastly, THE ABILITY TO SAVE A CUSTOMIZED LOOK TO A SAVE SLOT IN CHAR CREATOR similar to how ffxiv has it when you create a new character. You have a number of slots you can save a character appearance and recall it when you are in the character creator.
