I very much doubt we'll see body, be they build or height, sliders like the ones in Fallout 4 in the game due to the added issues, I think, that would add to the skeletons and animations. The Fallout series and the Mass Effect series are very different especially in terms of cinematics and animations.
If anything, I think it is far more likely that we'd see body types since those would each be at a set height and build so to speak.
Basically, these body types would be akin to the racial body type of Inquistion except, of course, that the buff, the normal and the scrawny type would be avaliable for the player to select from. I could see this as a possibility especially since there's only one playable race planned for Mass Effect: Andromeda and the development team might decide it is worth the time and resources to add as an addition to the character creator.
This is far from something that would make or break the character creator for me, I just thought I'd like to weigh in on the topic. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I get the impression that introducing a few pre-set body types - something they've technically already done in Frostbite, if you count the different races in DA:I - and introducing a full procedural body morph slider are several orders of magnitude apart in terms of complexity/required time/effort/resources. Heck, the body types should actually be quite a bit easier than even the races in DA:I, 'cause there won't be such dramatic variation in height/size to account for in cutscene framing and such--the difference between a buff human and a skinny human isn't anywhere near as significant as the difference between, say, a Dwarf and a Qunari. Personally, I'd be totally cool with having all the body options be roughly the same height - as I'm given to understand that's the biggest issue with cutscene framing - with any variation saved for shape/muscle. I mean, I'd quite like to be able to play both taller-than-average and shorter-than-average characters - Gwendoline Christie one playthrough, Maisie Williams the next - but it's not as big a priority for me as just being able to dodge the noodle arms this time around.

Id really like there to be some nice background music that sets the tone. The music in the ME1 character creation was really great, as soon as i heard it i knew id love the game. ME3 character creation music was really good too. ME2 was alright i guess but didn't stand out to me. Inquisition had terrible ambient fade music that really didn't set a good mood for the beginning of my adventure. Excellent idea. I think SR3 had a selection of tunes you could play, but I might be confusing with the radio in cars.

No distractions like that green scanning or that crap that drifts by you in ME2 and DA:I respectfully.
Great lighting. I mean that has been a huge a problem for a lot of BioWare's CCs in many of the games, the lighting in DA:I makes it hard to see scars, as well as hair, eye, make-up colors.
Easy to use user interface.
Camera that I can spin around and see the character in all angles and close up on such things like the eyes.
Options. Plenty of options for eye and hair colors, hair styles, scars, tattoos, make-up, and etc.

Assuming the creator is based on the one in DAI, heres three wishes off the top of my head:
1. Free camera movement. Not just the ability to rotate from side to side, but also tilt up and down with free zoom. 2. The ability to push and pull on individual parts of the face, much like CAS in the sims 4. 3. A character pool (look at XCOM 2). Instead of facecodes I'd like a separate kind of saves belonging in the character creator. You could save and load (and edit) creations you like, and also share saves with others.
Id also like more options of course, like hairstyles and eyebrows. On second thought we dont need more options, but better ones. I'm sure half the hairstyles and eyebrows in DAI never see any use at all. Put some work into it Bioware!

At a guess, I'd say no. As far as I recall, FM only uses it to generate a static image. Vastly more complicated to have it work in cut scenes etc.

I wouldn't expect to see this in MEA.
I certainly wouldn't use it, goodness, the idea of my face being on a character in game... its bad enough walking past mirrors. Yeah, no thanks.

'even a football game'
I think it's easier to do this in a game in which the character has less close ups, voice acting scenes and emotional expressions from up close.

Why would I want to role-play a character that looks like me when I am with myself 24/7? Takes away one of the reasons I play; to role-play. Besides, I know that I am not capable of doing a fraction of what Ryder will do. It would almost be comical to observe. lol
