The double whammy of this and the fact that the romance options are the obvious ones people had pegged for months has really dampened my spirits.

Aside from the Rydad thing, I assume it's an animation problem as well.
In DAI, edited characters could sometimes run into animation issues where a smile could make the teeth clip through the cheek, or eyebrows would interfere with the eyes... I guess the ME team clamped down on that.
I don't think the sacrifice was worth it. Feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Surely it could be better than this.
I'd also hoped we'd have some longer hair options. These were really very... boring and short, except for that one wavy bob, but I'm tired of wavy bobs. I'd hoped for more. I hate that we have the one nice ponytail, and then two ugly superfluous ponytails. Nothing more interesting than that? Really? These look better than the DAI ones, but there's still only one that appeals to me. I mean, the Suvi one's not bad, but that's Suvi's hair.

Great. Another sign that this game basically wasn't finished and rushed out the door after all that "polish, polish, polish" lie from last summer.

I wonder how many developer tweets hinted at a better CC than DAI's... I don't recall if they said it was better, if not for the hair options (which they are overall). They said you can make good looking characters but they've been cagey about it.

LMAO I'm gonna just chill out because while I wasn't as disappointed with DA:I I still made handsome characters. But seriously, it's gonna take some black magic and the grace of every god of old to help me out here..

That's great but they also have to add a way to edit our ryder after starting the game, cause that would make me delete everything and start over.

Why should we have to wait after launch to be able to make the character we actually want? Argh argh argh

You can actually make good custom characters from what i've seen, the thing is that because it is limited, then you character won't be super unique compared to everyone else.

If the CC is on the same level as DA:I's was and has more hair options, then I'll be happy with it, since I was able to create good-looking characters on it. Plus I'll only be able to pick up the game around the 30th and by then I'm sure I'll have plenty of options to choose from.
There's still that weird shininess / perpetual cold sweat on the faces though... Or some moisturizer company is making a bloody killing out there; first in Thedas and now in Andromeda.

I wonder who designed the makeup options? Because this... ...is just ridiculous. Who in their right mind would wear it, except Joker from Batman. TBH this kind of stuff makes me so angry. So the devs had all the time/money/resources in the world to waste on 'avant-garde' ridiculous lipstick and eyeshadow options, so much so that there's literally 1 'normal' option among them, but they couldn't afford to let us choose a different eye/eyebrow/lip/nose shapes besides what's on the preset??? The thing that we've been doing for 10 years now? Right now this isn't a Character Creator, it's a Preset Tweaker.

That's a really weird thing to add in a post-launch patch. They've had five years and they can't get basic CC features in before release? I'm not holding my breath, as "hair highlights and other features" sound less like basic facial features and more like cosmetic, quirky features like I'd categorise tattoos and weird makeup options.

Yass, hope. Give me all the hope. Still not an even remotely ideal situation but I'll take it over 'sorry, this is what you get and that's that'. I guess I'll just wait a few patches and then consider purchasing.

I wonder how many developer tweets hinted at a better CC than DAI's... Don't even start there, start with comparing to MET. Mass Effect 1 arguably had a better, more flexible CC than this. Every new reveal for this game seems to be wrapped in some pre-emptive damage control. They know they've not made the most impressive product and they're trying to modestly reveal and contain the faltering hype and the reactions to underdelivering. There's not much to argue. Something Is better in MEA, but the lack of options in key area is wrong. In Ability Drain's gameplay video she briefly talked about the CC. She said that the Devs said there will be CC patchs after launch. 2:45
Great. Another sign that this game basically wasn't finished and rushed out the door after all that "polish, polish, polish" lie from last summer. Regardless of the actual quality of the game, some rushing seems logical at this point. Although I think this is more EA then Bioware.

The fact that Video Game Sophistry posted two Ryder's which looked very uh...unique...and the fact that the GS video was looking like to be an entirely different Ryder from that one and considering I saw a Eurogamer Ryder which looked very different then either of the above proves the lie of this statement. *** As an aside I wonder how much MEAs CC is 'weak' because of the reliance on MEAs Cinematic Design because of the complaints about DA Is lack of cinematics. IE DA I had an amazing CC where you could do full control of it because...as people back in the day really bitched about ( I kind of among them?)...the cinematic cut scenes were few and far between. And so since you did not really have to animate the Player Character in the game this made it a lot easier to create a much more varied CC because they had less work for the animations and more 'room' in terms of data to create such things. That still doesn't really excuse the lack of options in terms of nose, ear, eye, or jaw shapes. It's not like they'll be using different animations for the different presets, and it's not like having a different nose arch will make animating a conversation more difficult. And while you may be able to make distinct looking characters, you're still very much limited by the base model, and so it becomes very hard to make a character that looks the way you envision them. This seems less of a character creator and more of a preset tweaker.

Well, default Ryder it is then... I would lie if I said I was surprised. Gotta say though: It's ballsy by BW to pull something like that... all they gotta do now to piss the rest of their dwindling fan base off is botch the romances.

Please let that be more than a bit of error-fixing. If it adds some proper options I'll be excruciatingly relieved, but at this point I'm very disappointed. Starting to consider looking for a refund. I mean, this is pretty extreme, and I'm not going to assume the best after this. I guess I'll wait to see what's in the actual game, but if I'm not satisfied, I'll

See another Ryder which looks entirely different from any of the others we have seen. For those keeping track that is four Ryders attempted, four Ryders that look nothing like each other.
