No Changing Hair Styles/Beards After the Start of the Game. Why BioWare?

I would like to see it added, but I don't think it's a big enough issue to lose sleep over.

Oh god, no, why? They better have a super short intro then, because I am known for rerolling dozens of times to get the perfect face.

The mirror in DA:I was a godsend; I spent hours running back and forth between that mirror and cutscenes to check if I'd finally fixed the face!

That's just the thing; BansheeOwnage 's faith is a bit strained, at this point; and it wasn't just the one feature that did it. Her posts always have this epic presentation, positive or disappointed. Don't let the carefully chosen pics and artful fonts fool you; this isn't an all out rant. It just looks that way to the uninitiated.


I added Blue Font for highlighting purposes.

EDIT: To be clear, my own disappointment is more mild, as I've previously posted. This is exactly what I expected.

It's the principle that gets me more than the specific instance itself. I find regression and the removal of good, optional features irksome no matter what, but it's even worse when a company does it in the game right after the one where they had to add it post-launch due to outcry for said feature. It just seems like an incredibly stupid thing to do that can only bite them later, to be honest.

I mean, if enough people wanting it to warrant a free DLC (which costs Bioware) wasn't enough proof that it would be a good thing to be standard in your games, I don't know what would be.

Here's another probable problem: I'd bet, due to the silence on the topic, that there will not be any sort of facecode system. If this is true, you can't "save" your progress on a face by typing/writing that down and restarting from where you were if you decide to restart the game to tweak something, you have to restart the entire face. That's not only tedious, but can be very hard for those less adept at using the CC.

Hopefully they have some way to save faces, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low.

Hey, thanks @element Zero. "Epic presentation"? I'm okay with this

To add and echo, I anticipated that the latter half of my post might get met with this sort of reaction, and I know it looks a bit more dramatic than I actually meant. As I said above, it's the fact that Bioware isn't listening to some of the most vocal and agreed-upon feedback from their last game that I find the most disappointing, not that they won't have a "Black Emporium" (though that is frustrating on its own).

My "How can I possibly believe Bioware when they say they listened to feedback about DA:I?" wasn't meant as a "Literally unplayable, pre-order cancelled!" type of thing, but just an honest question going through my mind.

And having my faith "shattered" may have been unintentionally overdramatic, so I'll rephrase for clarity: I try not to have high expectations, but my expectations are based mostly on previous Bioware games. I'd consider "normal" expectations to be that Bioware includes and hopefully improves upon basic features that were present in previous games in their new games, and "low" expectations to be less than that. Because I don't think it's hoping for too much to assume that they'll keep a good feature, especially when they know how much fans enjoyed that feature. So what I was saying was that even when I have "normal" expectations, those are apparently still aiming too high. I will have to try to take absolutely nothing for granted, now

And finally, as Element Zero pointed out, this one thing alone isn't responsible for my strained faith. There has been a string of similar things which has contributed to it.

Hopefully that and what EZ (ha, "EZ" ) said above might explain why my reaction may have seemed disproportionate to you. If not, the first half of that post was the most important part anyway

Yeah, totally different setting. I intend to give it a look.

No, don't just like my post.  DO IT!
