Your opinion of the Character creator.

Meh, that's BS. Changing eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips is perfectly possible with face scans if you do them early on. Probably not possible now, since it'd require reworking them. But if they'd done it right at the beginning, it would have been easy.

Chopping faces into individual, interchangable parts  is actually the kind of change that I would like to see. You know, this is - in theory - a small change that would drastically improve the variety of characters you can make. I'm extremely picky when it comes to characters, I think I've spent around 30 hours in CC alone. After tweaking all presets I came to conclusion that I would be able to make a perfect character if I had the ability to swap some things between presets. Eyes shape, eyebrows shape, nose shape and lips shape. And complexion - DEFINITELY. An ability to change whole face shape would also be nice, though that would probably require more work. And I don't even need any new resources - just the ones from current presets are enough. Just give me an ability to pick eyes from this preset, nose from that one + complexion from that one. Change eyebrows and you have original character. The amount of possibilites this creates is crazy.

Add this and you can make A LOT of different characters. Personally I don't even see any different way of fixing CC. This is the only way. I don't know how they will do it but if they won't add an ability to change individual parts of the face then noone will consider CC fixed. I really don't want to see just few new hairstyles + maybe 1 or 2 more presets. That wouldn't fix anything.

Don't get me wrong, I agree 100%.  I just don't think they will sink that much effort into it.  I would love to be proven wrong, but I imagine that would be a lot of money and man hours to fix something they aren't going to get any return on.  I think they'll add a few cosmetic options and call it a day hoping that appeases a few people.  At the most maybe they will give us a handful of new presets that aren't currently available in the game if they already have the assets ready.

So to summarize, these are the options that people want to see to improve the character creator. All of them would be great, but we're probably going to get a mix of some of them. This is other than the generic More Hair/beard/make up options that we want.

1. Best choice: Ability to switch eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth between presets.
2. Add more sliders. Specifically


3. Add more presets. Such as those from MP, and a few more.

And for god's sakes, learn about transparency maps for hair.

That would be my "if I could have it all" wish.  I'd be HAPPY with #1, and really happy if they added #1, #3, at least a complexion/freckle slider.  But if we're gonna go all out, gimme all you listed.  

It wasn't the ONLY reason, but the CC was one of the TOP reasons I waited an extra week to buy ME:A. That way, I bought it used with a trade-in for 25 bucks. The CC looked so bad there was no way I was gonna pay 60 dollars for ME:A. What were they thinking??

Better, but it'd still be annoying, honestly.

Yeah. I'm about 90% sure that's what they're going to go with. I'm kinda anticipating disappointment lol.

I think the most important switchable part of the face is the nose. Different eyeshapes and mouthshapes and brows make a difference, but the nose is really where faces diverge and become distinct. So even if they don't give us complete control over customization, I hope they at least give us swappable noses.

unrelated: Something that's an issue with the character creator for me (that doesn't become apparent until you play the game) is that freaky skull tattoo because it doesn't make any sense in the game. Given our personality options, why exactly is it there? I would love to use it for a renegade-ish character and its very presence implied that I could roleplay one. But the Ryder we get is such a lighthearted and/or superprofessional character and I just could not see it fitting any gameplay, except for a few narrative actions and decisions, and I guess when he/she calls people assholes. If I had chosen it for first playthrough, I would have had to go back and completely remake my character because of the disconnect. Weird decision.

Someone might have mentioned it earlier but there is a mod for making the skin paler.

Also there is masseffectarchives.com/en_US/ where you can click and install a custom Ryder for a new game.

This website also shows how many Ryders look very similar.

I think they dropped the ball with the CC. Coming from Fallout 4 the options you get are minimal. And Femryder is so short!
