Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

But why one - good pre-sets, should exclude another - ability to modify them?! You like what you see - use it, someone who wants more individuality would get it too, bit no! Let's make expensive face-scans without tasting if they can be later modified, and as a fix slap some clown colors as customization options, then lie to gamers about CC complexity - stupid gamers should be thankful they have some options at all.

I should not be that angry - it's not the first or even second time they lied to our faces without a hint of apology, but this time they took away the part of the game I truly cared about. I feel as if in MP I would be allowed to use only 2 weapons with rhetoric "but others are too difficult to play with".

Haha
I would try to start over. Maybe it's random thing.
Eh, good job Bioware.

As long as the presets I am seeing in the CC right now got to stay (because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!), I have no quarrel with them adding sliders, though I would prefer the DA2/ME style sliders to the Inquisition one as far easier to use. But if it is EITHER Inquisition or THIS CC, I chose THIS CC.

You've got your wish - presets are here to stay. Ours wish (of those wanted some individuality) are void and will stay this way too. This is the FIRST game with CC (and I've seen a lot, trust me) where I am avoiding topics with characters presentation. Still, already spotted twice future look of my Raider - same to the last detail (since you can not change those details) even if hair color is different.

Character Chooser instead of Character Creator hurts

I'm so sad about the CC. I was so excited for this game but I don't see myself playing it without being able to make the character I love. I don't understand this step backwards.

She looks quite good, in my opinion.
The main problem, for me, is that you can clearly see the resemblance with any Ryder based on that preset. They all look like siblings or cousins.

I've made one character so far and I have to say this CC is a vast improvement over the one in DA:I. Sadly I forgot that Origin, for some unexplainable reason, still doesn't allow to take screenshots... so I didn't.

I will force load the game through Steam next time I make a character, that should allow me to take screenshots. (edit: this doesn't seem to work though I wonder why, never had problems loading non steam games through steam before)

Anyway, some things I noticed/liked:

1) The ears are fixed in size and position. Excellent decision. It's impossible to have your hair clip through the ears now, which was damn near unavoidable in DA:I unless you went for a short haircut, or positioned the ears in such a way that your inquisitor was highly likely to have a chromosomal defect. Sure, a better fix to this problem would've been to put ridiculous amounts of time, money and effort into making more realistic hair, but ultimately I think this was the better solution, because more time could be spend on things that actually matter for gameplay and story.
2) Numerical values for the colour of your makeup. This makes it much easier to get a nearly identical colour on the different make up zones. Excellent decision.
3) You can't really change the shape of the eyes, nose and lips. They are different among the different presets though, so I don't think this is gonna be too much of a problem. Still would've liked the option.
4) Crazy futuristic make up. Absolutely adore it.

But most importantly, I made a great looking character on my first try in less than 30 minutes. Can't wait to see what I make once I actually get the ins and outs.

As a very (and I mean VERY) pale man with long hair, I'm disappointed with CC in Mass Effect (and later in Dragon Age) since 2007. Oh, well, I'm glad I got over it ten years ago. Other than CC, I have no complaints about Andromeda so far. But those hairstyles, ugh...

Wish we could get all skin tones for all presets. I've got a Ryder I'm happy with when it comes to looks, but her skin is to dark.

The cc must really be improved, more settings. More brighter skin tones because I can not create a single char than is brighter than the standard Ryder. And best to bring all presets from the multi-player to the singleplayer.

Okay, so I wanted to share my Sara Ryder with everyone. I'm very pleased that with how she turned out, even with the limitations! I hope they are not gigantic
