Character Creator & Character Customization (Official Thread)

What? ME:A has animation issues all over the place. We've only seen a couple of hours from the game and it's filled with facial animation issues, even for the defaults. Tell me, if they wanted to improve the animations because of a greater number of cinematics, and thus removed the CC features, do you personally think they succeeded?

I pretty much only like preset 8 with Sara. But I want to make Asian Ryders and there is no way I can make preset 8 to look like Asian character just moving around her eyes and nose

yeah but even that one had problems such adding a beard would reset the jawline.

I think if the CC suffers because of Alec & our Sibling then they should have just made the damn default appearances customizable it makes no sense.

Disappointing. Female's presets aren't that good, except for head 8, hair styles are all the same, and the only one that actually looks good is the corn-raw-hawk. Colors dont blend well, all look dyed. But I guess using the preset mentioned previously, I guess I can make a pretty, yet realistic Ryder.

I unfollowed him anticipating awkward conversations with disappointed fans. :/

...Eh.

I read the comments in here first and was expecting something soul crushingly disappointing, but what I saw was just the same old Mass Effect character creator. No more, no less really. Sure, they probably should have improved it. But it appears it's quite simple to make a character that doesn't look like an aborted fetus, unlike the OT, so that's okay with me.

Would have liked more beards though. I will say that. I can look like a clown but not a lumberjack apparently. Huh.

I don't even know what to say.
I hope it's true that they will patch it, but damn, aren't five years enough to create a good CC, considering DA:I was pretty good in this?

Also, I work 8 hours a day and I really don't have the time to start over when the CC will be patched

...I can't believe I'm bitching about ME.

Okay...

So watched a slower video that went through and actually allowed you to get a good look at the options. I am assuming we're more limited because we can also customize our twin and our characters facial features affect how the father will turn out as well. Okay, I can understand that to a point.

What I don't get is...

- The beards, or lack thereof. Even the current options are pretty horrid, and I'm usually really relaxed about this stuff. Some of them reminded me of those fake sticky beards you can buy on Halloween and just slap on your face. Where is the stubble DScott gets to sport? Seriously...

- The make-up options. Initially, I was pleased with having more options there, but after getting a good look at some of those options. WTH? Who the heck wants scales on their cheeks? or swirls? or the joker's lipstick look? I mean... maybe a Ryder who is STILL going through a goth/punk/emo-ish phase? xD

- I'm still baffled by the inability to adjust eyebrows, noses, mouths, and just overall face shape. I don't need a lot of options, and I don't expect anything fancy. But even three shapes per section would have been nice!

Okay people keep saying DAI cc was good but literally all the characters looked pretty much the same in the game. At least for MEA cc there may be limited options (it just seems they simplified the selections tbh?) with the presets there seems to be alot of different looking ryders being created

I already said a few pages back what I was expecting, some sort of explanation for why they removed the options. Nothing more or less.

Now that is something that Twitter really is not a good medium for.  I'd try PMing here, make a new thread here, or try tagging him here, otherwise...I don't know what else to say.  If there is some great complaint about it and if its a big deal there are avenues to ask them about it.
