Character Creator in DAD

Overall I thought the character creator for Inquisition was very good (with the notable exception of the hair options; I'd at least like to see more variety in terms for that) - at least as far as faces go. I do prefer the sliders to the boxes, but the results are generally good, so I don't mind that too much. I hope that there are just as many species options options for DA 4. Although on that not-quite-character-creation note, I also hope they go back to interchangeable armour between the different species.

My main wish would be at least two body type options, so one could at least have a more muscular female character or a less muscular male character. Since we're clearly stuck with the voiced PC, I'd also like to see more options for that, although I know that's highly unlikely due to the cost and effort involved. Even the four total options for DA:I was a big improvement. Some sort of tone adjuster would help a lot. (Of course, what I'd really like is a 'no voice' option, but I know that won't happen. No point even wishing for it at this point.)

And the character creator needs better lighting. That might be the single most important thing to improve. Neutral lighting would be best, I think, but something more like a default sunny day would certainly be better than the dim lighting previous character creators have usually had.

I am going to be honest, I am nervous going into the next BioWare game with a character creator. The amount of complaining about facial animations with Mass Effect: Andromeda makes me concerned that we might have something closer to Anthem then Inquisition because they are going to try and address how bad things like the dialogue animations were. With my experiences in BioWare games when there are complaints like that BioWare tends to throw away what people like and address only the complaints so instead of making changes its a complete overhaul to something new.

Now if we get our way I can definitely make due with what Inquisition offered. The only things that I see needing a change would be the lighting in their character creator (and I don't understand why they haven't fixed it after so many tries) and having better hair design. I cringe when I see "last generation" when a lot of things are commented upon, but what they offered in Inquisition and what I recall from Andromeda was on the outdated side of things.

In my opinion the Ideal DA4 CC would have Inquistions CC as it's base but have it be completely overhauled seriously BW needs to overhaul the **** out it and combine that with all the race's having 2 default faces that are Sheploo quality for male & female players. 

Also DA4 needs the same feature Andromeda had that allowed player's to dl Ryders appearance's and I'm sure The Keep could be overhauled as well to allow that option.

To be honest Bioware has always had a pretty bad track record when it come's to making quality Character Creation both Andromeda & Inquistion had ok Character Creation but they were still pretty lacking in my opinion at least.

I’d be very surprised if they got rid of CC. They’d get a tonne of grief.

i think we might get less racial choice.

No, not that. just not 4 races.

On race options I would be happy with just elves and humans. My Dwarf Inquisitor's Dwarfyness just didn't feel there - I suspect it was even worse for the Qunari.

In my opinion if there had to be a cut I say let it be the Qunari and stick with the Original 3 races Humans/Elves/Dwarves.😉

How does that render CC 'irrelevant'? I still enjoy being able to create my own character, taking Geralt to the barber does not create the same experience at all.

Yeah, I have yet to create a dwarf Inquisitor I actually like the look of. My canon warden is a noble dwarf, so I was really looking forward to have that option back in the series.

I could see them limiting racial options. However with Solas (most likely) being a prominent part of the plot, I think many fans would be annoyed at not being able to play as an elf. Likewise with Qunari if the Tevinter/Qunari war will be featured.

That’s how I see it too.
