Pretty much what it says on the tin. Feel free to both speculate and hope.

As for me, I expect some sort of middle-ground between DAI and MEA, likely having some things inexplicably static like overall face shapes and slightly unnecessarily complicated color palates, very similar to how SWToR and Destiny does it.

What I'd like to see; basically add on to the base of what we have in Inquisition with greater hair/beard options and quality. Maybe ME style codes. I can dream.

6) No Customization.

That way if it is there I am happy its an option, but if there isn't any I won't be disappointed.

I’ve no hopes on non javelin customization as I think it’d be pointless when we’re in suits most likely 99% of the time, just a waste of resources to me.

That said because it’s Bioware I expect some sense of CC will be there to try and give variety to those who do care for it. Doubt it’ll be in depth as I think Bioware will share the same mindset as to when it comes to us being in suits majority of the time but time will tell.

If I can't adjust groin length and girth of my character, I'm spamming 0-ratings on metacritic on the day of release.

I'm thinking a face morph grid if you want. Plenty of out of javelin outfits maybe?

Well, they did show a character face during the 2017 E3 presentation, maybe we can't see our bodies but maybe we can have helm off during the outside adventures, it seems breathable, you also gotta emote during cut scenes I guess... but then again, it's first person in the hub... eh, at worst it can't be division bad, or maybe it can, Hope for the best.

The hub is first person, you are in a suit when not in the hub.

Chance of deep CC that isn't tied to the suit is very slim unless you get to see other players in the hub.

We'll have gender choice but no hair or facial, complexion features. These are moot as we play FPS in hubs and wear a suit in battle. Same for the "solo" character.

We may be give a starter set of abilities and skills and probably the newbie combat suit. I would welcome manual adjustments of said starter points. Actually it kinda makes sense... that "Warlock" suits reminds me of certain Mass Effect abilities.

Agree, i think the big customization is around the javelin.

For your character i would be surprised if we have something different from a selection of mesh.

You see, I really hope this isn't the case. I hope we're in javelins about 75% of the time and the other 25% is inside Fort Tarsus or whatever it's called attending social venues with friends/companions... I really hope the story doesn't lean too heavily on gearing up in the suits all time in a constant fight this, fight that scenario: "OH NO WE UNDERZ ATTACKS AGAIN! SUIT UP AGAIN GO GO GOGOGO OGgcwpf!"

Hard to say thoooo

Pilot (that's what they call your PC) customization with sort of CC already confirmed. For example, you get to select male/female. How much beyond that, don't know.

I think very little sadly - it seems like most cut-scenes will be first person view, and why put a lot of resources into a face players will rarely see? It makes me sad, creating and seeing my character is one of the parts I most love about Bioware and other RPG games.

Well, we should remember that he Javelin’s have retractable visors. It doesn’t sound like we’ll have any dialogue choices outside Fort Tarsis, but we may still see our character faces.
