Character Creator

Yeah, it's great, particularly fixing the hair clipping thing - with that hairdo with the plaits it was initially clipping then she used the head shape slider to fix it. I wouldn't have thought of that! 

I think once I decide on a hairdo that fits my Rook, I'll go back to sliders like head and face shape to really refine it.

I'm never someone who spends ages in character creation but this one may do it! 

It's truly baffling how the devs thought that looked good. Did nobody really think it looked bad??? EVERYONE on the internet agrees that it looks terrible, one thing the haters and the positive crowd agree on.

Is that even a thing in nature that horns look like they're growing out of the skull softly like hair?! Have the devs even looked at how bull horns grow out of their skulls? I've never seen a design as terrible as the DAV qunari and after DAI it was not a high bar to improve them. Iron Bull looked like roadkill and his head was comically small while the horns were ridiculously huge. So maybe that's why they decided to give everyone big heads...

I don't count myself amongst this 'everyone'.

Right?  Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that there's a height slider at all.  It's seriously awesome.  I just wish I knew what the numbers meant. 

Has everyone got their first Rook in mind?

I've had to resort to Baldur's Gate III to get a rough idea of what I'd like to do.

If Bioware won't release CC early (and at this point, it's unlikely that they will), then i'll create mine in DAI on October 30, just so i can have a rough idea of what i want him to look like.

I've done sketches, but I'm really waiting to get my hands on the CC to finalize details. I do know for sure: elf with white hair.

I really have no idea how my character will look, I just know I try to make them not look like my previous DA characters in the same world state. So she will not be:

- lightly skinned, dark blue eyes, blonde hair.
- pale skinned, dark green eyes, dark red hair.
- tanned skin, brown eyes, dark brown hair.

Since we will be in the norther part of Thedas a medium to darker skin color feels the most natural for lore reasons, but I will definitely let whatever I fancy in the moment be the deciding factor. I will admit, I've dreamed about making a character with super pale skin, raven hair, and purple eyes... but yeah, lore-wise it feels a bit weird. I am a bit in love with that big curly long hair, and if I make it ginger I can basically make her Merida lol. Very tempting to make a nice Latina-inspired woman with long sleek hair... like, the fact that the CC will have several hairstyles I can actually consider really does make the imagination run wild!
