I really don't see any issue with the Character Creator

My only dislike about the CC, is that my custom character has a double chin. I spent like 5 minutes, going back and forth with the sliders trying to get rid of it, before, I quit and just played the main game.I really hope we can mod an imported character.

Asian human face? With raven black hair and dark mysterious eyes in the unmodded Dragon Age? Here is my best take on it... Anyone did better? That's also my best effort at stripping darn make-up too & dodging the high forehead with the only hairstyle that covered it.

No one is saying you cannot create a good looking Ryder...because you can.It is quite easy. However ,making a unique Ryder is simply impossible.The only thing you can do is personalize and customize an already preset head which -after DAI CC- seems extremely lacking.

My beef with Bioware is that they chose to take away player freedom by removing a very important aspect of the CC which isnthe mixing and matching of facial features. Like...why? In favor of facial scans?Was that even necessary? If they wantes facial scans they could have done just 5-5. 5 scans (including the default) and lwt the other 5 options be PURELY random presets where you can cycle through options like in the OT and DAI.

Wish I could smear omni-gel all over the face of male Ryder if that can make him grew a real beard.

Yeah, I was incredibly happy with both of my elves. No mods. Nothing. 

Many people's Ryders will end up looking like other people's Ryders. Also, saying that this CC is an improvement from the original 3 games is not accurate. First off, the CC's for those games are very outdated, available on old systems, old engines. A game for the new systems with a new engine should expectedly have an incredible CC, namely because the last game they made on that engine (DA:I) had an incredible CC - no questions asked.

Second, as far as options are concerned... *technically* ... the CC's for ME 1-3 were better. You could switch out your mouth, eye shape, nose, and eyebrows. Maybe they looked like crap due to the ME 1-3's engine limitations, but at least you could switch them out - you had *options*.

With ME:A (a brand new game, on a brand new console, using a brand new engine), you're not allowed to switch eye shapes, eyebrow types, mouth shapes, or nose shapes. You can adjust width and height, but you can't eliminate broken noses/bumps on the bridges, or get rid of a lazy eye, or thicken up extremely thin brows. You're stuck with that stuff and that is ridiculous for the sheer power and quality of the console and the engine.

Face scans be damned.

Haha heck no! This isn't nearly as bad as that. It's not perfect but I was surprised by the amount of options. People really freak out about this type of stuff acting like it's terrible.

Agreed. No matter how many options were available in the OT character creators, the custom faces never looked that great. They looked like play dough characters.

And I get that some people won't like this. That's understandable. It's just comical how insane people get over this small detail saying it ruins the game. Most of the custom characters this time look great from everything I've seen.

It's even funnier when people on this forum get so bent out of shape or tight assed when someone says they like the character creator

I am just disappointed in the ability to have nice hair styles. You can't make anyone really pretty with the CC.
