I'm going default my first run through but considering the controversy from our fellow internet snowflakes, I decided to test out this character creator.
Holy shit, believe it or not, I'm impressed! You can adjust every facial feature to your liking, choose every hairstyle available, choose the color, change two different settings on eye color, change eye positions eye brow position and nose positions, add scars and tattoos, choose from about the most hair color options I've ever seen, and apply a bunch of makeup options.
In terms of facial customizations, I'd say it's pretty impressive. And I made a really attractive Sara Ryder in about 15 minutes.
Am I missing something here because my character looks so much better than any character I've made or seen in the original trilogy.
God I hope the rest of my thoughts on the game are like this. Dumb internet cry babies
Btw this looks amazing in 4k HDR

I thought that was not possible via the first videa I saw on the subject you can just change its positioning and size. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining in the slightest, and I actually loved what I saw of the CC in all those videos showing it off, but I wonder if BioWare took fan criticism and made any fast changes OR for some inexplicable reason they just did not show off all the options in those vids...or I am reading way too much into your post. I mean actually not being able to change the eye shape was the only thing that was getting me a bit annoyed tbh.

I thought the Character Creator was good as well compared to the trilogy, made a couple decent ones to my liking in 10 - 15 mins each, looking on this site people have made even better ones than I did.
I hear a lot of people compare it Dragon Age Inquisitions one.

It really does take some getting used to. Honestly the thing that's kind of bugging me the most right now is switching to different parts of the CC with the stupid trigger buttons lol.
I think it's fair to criticize the CC though. It can feel restricting in places. Like, the actual eye shapes are rather inflexible. The shape is fixed, and you can only change the position on the face. I would love to be able to close them up on faces with wider eyes, or change the tilt ever so slightly.
Overall though, I'm making the most of what I have. I dare say I'm actually liking my own results.

Many of the customization options of DAI are present within the CC; but the character creation options are not. You're still editing a precreated character. While it's not hard to make a good-looking character, everyone's protagonists will look very similar (even more so than in the OT), because of very limited options. You can create good characters, but you can't create a good variety of characters, nor likely realize the vision you've had in mind for a long time as "your Ryder".

If you use the skull Tattoo and adjust the color for a good shade to your face. It actually looks awesome. Gives you a good shade complexion for the male. Haven't tried on the female CC

I see this point of view as ridiculous as mindlessly bashing the game there are obvious downgrades from DAI's CC if we don't acknowladge it's faults the game won't develop something better in possible future installments

I have 10 hrs with default Scott so I'm sticking with him until the CC is upgraded (I won't hold my beer). But this is the best I could do with the preset I liked the most... he looks ok until in full animation... he's got derpy animated lips and basically a pencil neck. And no, I'm sorry OP, this CC is limited as all get out.

The issue being that it has less options compared to the OT. And even less than what we have in DA:I. A dev even told us that they were not going to change anything from DA:I. But they did by removing most options. So of course we're going to be disappointed.

My main issue besides being stuck with the presets... and only being able to slightly alter their original structure is that you don't have options for the eyes/mouth. It's just width/height/depth nothing else. I can't for the life of me imagine who let this get through development w/out asking whether players would be ok with basically choosing default Ryder... or a group of barely customizable presets.

The amount of being told one thing, but then the product being something else. The CC, the sidequests, the amount of "polish" and "bug fixing" they did so that all the concerns from early footage were pointless. Just lies at this point.

They most certainly lied about the sidequests not being silly MMO ones. The go here, scan this, collect minerals stuff, is nothing like Witcher 3 stuff. I'd also say the dialogue is the most tragic thing so far. I'm not a literary nut or anything, but it can be so bad at places it's just laughable... and it shouldn't be. You shouldn't feel like laughing at bad dialogue in a tragic, or romantic scene.

I just don't understand how they could have overlooked the fact that what made the OT so unique... especially your experience playing the first game was being able to craft you're own Shepard... CC... backstory to a certain degree and all. I'm actually ok with the default Ryder but it really does feel like you're just playing an adventure game with RPG stuff thrown in. Knowing that even just 13 or so hours in just how sort of detached I feel from the world around me is not a good indicator of what's to come. I hope I'm wrong.

You shouldn't feel like laughing at bad dialogue in a tragic, or romantic scene. I bounce back between CDPR and Bioware. I played the Witcher 3 for over 600 hours so yes I agree it is good. But no fetch quests? It is like any other game = fetch quests packaged in its own cinematics to make it feel like its own story. I think the approach is grand but after a while, you see it for what it is. For me, both have pro's and cons but I want both game developers because I like the games they produce individually. I do not care about spoilers so I watched any video I could get my hands on but watching youtube or playing ME:A yourself are very different things. Youtube will only tell you so much it lacks the ability to emerge one self amongst other draw backs.

It isn't the worst CC of all time, but it is a significant downgrade from DA:I's CC other than the hair options. Most were expecting something at least on par with DA:I's CC, particularly since Bioware mentioned DA:I when talking about ME:A's CC, hence the disappointment.
There are some good features in ME:A but the CC really isn't one of them. Of course that doesn't mean you can't like it. There was a small minority of people who liked ME1's inventory system or combat too.

I didn't say TW3 didn't have a fetch quest, but the vast majority of it's side quests did not feel like a WoW quest of "go here, collect 10 of this/kill 3 of these" . That's what the DA:I side quest system was, and that's what ME:A are. If you liked the side quests in DA:I you'll like these... and hopefully you will because to get a 100% completion on a planet it takes probably 30 of them in a row once you are done with the main story line for the planet.

Mmhmm...alright. Tell you what, my dude: pop in Dragon Age: Inquisition and fool around with its CC - or better yet the ME Trilogy's CC - and then try the Andromeda's CC. Then you'll see what the "dumb internet crybabies" are on about. Need I remind everybody? I guess he didn't like it that much.

It's the worst CC in Bioware history. Many steps worse than DAI, which allowed a lot more deep customization. Not just the face, but it's also lacking options for your history and so on, like you had in ME1.
It's so pointless, that for the first time ever in a Bioware game I was forced to go with full default preset without changing a single thing. Maybe I could make one of the male Ryders work, but in the end default was still a lot better. I could argue that so was the male Sheppard, but not so for the female, where all custom options are much worse than the default.
Not a fan, and I really hope for mods to give us some better options for my second playtrough.
