I am probably to start two playthroughs right away as one of each, thought still on the fence about custom vs default. I usually do a first PT as default for the sake of it, then 2nd as a custom. Considering the size of this game (5yrs in the making) I might just go custom right away.

I'm most interested in customizing Sarah Ryder's facial appearance. The default Sara Ryder seems to 'plain' looking for me. I don't want to create an Andromeda Barbie, but I would like to airbrush over a few of her facial features.
My experiences with CC in the Trilogy were not satisfying, because the results I created in those CCs did not appear the same when in-game; i.e. cheeks, nose, neck in that appeared less angular in the CC became more angular in-game.
So my hope is that Andromeda's CC will be more of a WYSIWYG when in-game.
I REALLY hope the default faces can be customized instead of having to start a customization from scratch.

I will be playing as JD Ryder -- custom male. I've never played a Mass Effect game with the default faces.

Probably a custom Scott Ryder at first.
Nothing against playing as a female character. I enjoy it and just did two run-throughs of Dishonored 2 with Emily Kaldwin. In this case I'll probably want to try the romances for straight males first. But knowing me and BioWare games I'll do multiple playthroughs so plenty of time to give Sarah a shot!

I usually prefer to play the male because I want to romance a female, so I'll play Scott. If there's a good gay option for Sara, I'll play her in my second playthrough.
And I'm gonna go with default appearances because they probably look better than anything I can make :-p

Male custom Ryder, then female. The thing that bugs me - on my female playthrough broRyder will probably ends up looking a lot different that my first one. It would be nice if we could save presets and swap between them

Custom Bro. I'll try to make him look like the guy in my avatar. I'm sure it'll look nothing like him; but I'll make sure to wear green armor. I also hope we can wear shades.

I tend to play female if I can, customized if I can.
So customized Sarah.

My general mode in all BioWare games is to start by playing a Mr Nice guy male player and with my 2nd play through I play a snide or nasty female player.

ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Eventually. I'm starting as custom Sarah, though. I'll sort of be cheating, because my husband got dibs on MEA first in a cut-throat game of rock paper scissors, so he'll be rolling default Scott and I'll get to watch.
I mean, I could pretend I'll remain spoiler-pure, but I'd only be lying to myself.

It was only reall ythe hair options htat were lacking somethimng that I'm pleased to say it looks like they've corrected for MEA

Custom male for starts. With probably custom female second, but I'll see how it goes. Depending on friendship/romance arcs I could be running 2-3 males in a row.

whats up with the massive amounts of votes for playing the fem version? I get the feeling that this franchise is gravitating to being fem-friendly and DA was ruined because of this. I'm a dude, and I'm picking FemRyder because I like seeing girls kiss each other. I will have have her kiss/bang and schlickity schlick every female in the game if possible.

I have four playthroughs planned, but the first will be default Scott. Then two custom Sarahs and a custom Scott. I've only got 1 planned atm but I do plan on doing more than one though. I'm going Sara first though to romance Liam I had most of my character planned but I came up with a couple of ideas tonight that might encourage me to change my initial plan or more tweak than change really. It's just that tonight while watching TV earlier I got a burst of inspiration for my Sara and was now thinking I might model my Sara off of someone I saw on there. I'd seen her before actually as she was one of my favourite's on X factor one year. But she's got a song together to enter Eurovision with and she got picked to be our entry for this year. She's a nice girl and I was thinking of modelling my Sara on her now.

I got at least three Ryders planned. Samantha/ Cassandra/ Rachel Ryder, Robert Ryder, and James T Ryder. But I had four Inquisitors planned and only ever ran through with two of them. My initial plan was to do one PT with each of the voices and then run through one more PT as 'canon' when I was done with that. But it did not really work out that way and I ended up putting in five PTs into my 2 initial ones. So we will see if James T even gets a crack he is my alternate.

Dang, look at the model for Scott Ryder twitter.com/stevenbrewis?lang=enSorry late to the party for him. Default Ryder is pretty tasty. Interestingly, I know the model for Kaiden in real life. Also, Sarah's model looks quite stunning too.

I'll be playing a custom female, Eve Ryder, first. I'm not the biggest fan of the default names becoming such a predominant reference for the protagonists. It seems to lead to a strange sort of confusion between the fans and developers, like one Dev saying that different characters will have different levels of romantic interest in Scott versus Sara, and then a thread popping up claiming that the remark meant the romances aren't gender specific.
