Why would anyone ever use a default face?

Usually I customize like crazy, but I made an exception for DA2, because I really liked default fHawke. So far I find SisRyder fine, so I'll make up my mind once I see character creator.

I like futzing around with the CC so I'll customize the faces, regardless of how good I think the defaults already are.
With the previous MEs I pretty much always ended up with extremely similar FemSheps, just different hair styles/colors and skin tones, and MaleSheps were not flattering at all. If we get a CC like DAI's, I see myself making many a pretty faces.

I typically have more than one playthrough for most Bioware games. I think by ME3 I had 8 different faces (male and female) and decision tree permutations to see what changed (disappointed more didn't....). But, I always did a default face male soldier run followed up by a custom face with a different class. I'm horrible at the CC. I usually look for inspiration from the more talented CC'ers out there for following playthroughs. Although, as big as this game is sounding I might only do 1 or 2 playthroughs.

I always customize my female PCs. The male ones... it depends. I couldn't get Sheploo to look right, so I just rolled with the default. BroRyder already looks juuust right, so I might keep him that way, too.

I always customize my characters (only used default mShep once) and I'm eager to see what kind of CC they've made, but default RyBro is so that I anticipate using him at some point. So, uh, didn't vote because no poll option...

Customise. I don't like the default faces on either of them much. I'm looking forward to it. CC is so fun when it's good.

In the past Mass Effect Trilogy I used the default male Shep for all three games but changed my own for my female play through. While Scott Ryder does look good I am thinking I will try my own for the Male version this time, but I guess it depends if I can actually make him look good with the character creator. I remember trying to make a half decent one for the male in the trilogy but most of mine looked really weird. What will you be using? I simply can't use the default faces. I need to create my own each one has grown on me as the game progresses and I even remember a few of their faces from more memorable play throughs. Terminator Shepard was the best looking. (My son named him that.)

I played all ME with default faces. I really hated ME character creator, I could never make anything that looked like a human being (or maybe the facial animations were to blame. Or maybe I'm just terrible at it).
But DA:I improved that a lot, so if they're taking hints from them I might take my chances with the CC for once.

I spend an inordinate amount of time in the customization screen. It is one of my favorite aspects of Bioware games. I love being able to personalize my character, makes it feel like i'm in the game doing all the things I wish I could in real life, but can't.

I don't think I have ever used a default face in a BioWare rpg. Making my character's face is one of the best things about the game so I would never skip it.

I will likely spend 3 hours trying to make sister Ryder look beautiful while making brother Ryder hot at the same time, because default brother Ryder is sexy. I don't want him to lose his hotness. So, if after a few hours I haven't accomplished this, I'd probably start over and default.
Dad Ryder can look like a butthisface for all I care.

I'll definitely be customising my first few Sis Ryders. For my first playthrough I always like to do a self-insert and make the choices I would make, so I'll be trying to get it as close to my own face as possible. But for subsequent playthroughs I enjoy making different characters and customising them with lots of different choices. I've never used a default face yet in any Bioware game I've played, but I might well do in this for my Bro Ryder playthrough, as Scott looks quite good from what I've seen already.

When it comes to male Ryder, I will customize. When it comes to female Ryder, I will keep the default face. Fryda Wolff, is sexy so I will prefer her to be the face of female Ryder. Notice, on Wolff's twitter page someone made a comparison on Wolff's face and Sara Ryder and they look identical.
Edit: Ok, I thought she was.

My problem with the CC engine in the Trilogy is that there were significant differences between what I viewed in my CC head and what was displayed in-game, especially in the nose and jaw-bone and cheeks areas. I deleted several game starts because my CC character looked awful. I gave up trying to use the CC engine. I don't want to go through that kind of experience again. The default MaleShep and FemShep were just fine with me. I'm not a fan of Sara Ryder's bulbous nose in the E3 2016 trailer, so I would fix that.
Another CC option I want to see is the ability to modify the default facial features and NOT have to start from scratch if I don't want to.

FemRyder looks good so I'll stick to the default face for her. ManRyder I'll probably use a custom face. I can't put my finger on it but somthing doesn't seem right with his default face.

Totally agree...and if they were created in the CC it should be no problem. I'm actually hoping for a few good presets...which given the family dynamics might be the way to go and have the father and sibling appearance change with the preset...similar to DA2.
