I hope there isn't a Hawkloo

No, you do not edit the default male or female Hawke (at least, not currently. As Mike Laidlaw says "things are still subject to change"). You can use the defaults, you can select from a variety of preset faces or you can create one form scratch.

Works for me! As long as I can still make Hawk look the way I want I'm cool with it!
Thanks!

I have been wondering this too and it is disappointing to here that is not likely. Oh, well. I was able to make a Jason Statham lookalike in Mass Effect(far exceeding the awesomeness of Sheploo), and plenty of cool looking Dragon Age characters, so I'm not to worried about it.

Tweaking the face might cause problems or something but why couldn't we at least have the option to recolour it? I'd like the default female Hawke with green eyes for example

I don't really understand why they're going out of their way to have the very worst possible elements of ME2 be a part of DA2. First you can't change the outfits of your teammates, and now you can't change the default face of Hawke? I actually never had this problem in ME2, since I only played as FemShep, but if I couldn't have edited her face at all that would've sucked, not because the default isnt cool but simply because making your own unique face is a big part of the fun. Making things more like ME2 in a fun way, like improving the graphics and the combat, thats great. But don't take the worst aspects of ME2 and put them into DA2 also. Those things should be changed/eliminated in ME, not brought over to DA.

You can modify your face in DA:2. You just can't tweak the default face.

Can we use defaulthawkes features like hair, nose ect? Or is it going to be like ME where you can't use features used on Shepardloo.

I'm hoping this is an area where modders will be able to step in; I really like default Lady Hawke and can see using her basic features for all my characters, but I don't want to have the same haircut forever! (Even though it's a really nifty haircut.)

[Allaiya]

That is what I expected. A shame, though I still love the default Hawke. The only thing I would have changed really is the hair or eye color.

In the latest dev video we saw them creating the default Hawke model and it's a distinct model, not a modular one.

source?

its confirmed but  4:13

bonus rubbish teleporting at 3:20

That's a shame.

Are there at least more varied and higher quality presets than in DA:O? One thing I noticed about that game was that many of the facial customisation options were removed in the in-game character creator, so if you didn't use the toolset you had to rely on the presets to give the basic shape of your character's face.

Now that we're not getting a DA2 toolset, how are we going to get the same level of choice?

I don't expect you will. The face maker has been remade ie DA:O face data doesn't apply. Creating a new engine like that takes time and unfortunately that means technical detail will likely be lost.



That said Bioware are only getting better at facial technology, even as something of a DA:2 cynic I predict that the character maker will kick ass.

Mike Laidlaw implied there would be more facial customization when compared to DA:O, possibly including but not limited to hair length.

I do not have a link.

thanks for the answer Chris.

Don't thank them for imperfect features! Haven't you ever owned a puppy?

[Spoonuser12]

Yeah, would be great to be able to just tweak default Hawke.



Ran into this problem in Mass Effect with trying to give Default Shepard a different Hair style. Hopefully this changes =)

[Nyaore]

You know, even if we can't edit the facial features on the defaults I at least hope they allow us to edit the tones and hair styles for them. Like giving the default red hair and auburn eyes, maybe tanner skin, that sort of thing.

Possibly because they don't consider them bad design decisions.

That's not what DA:2 is doing?  You can design any face you want using the character creator, you simply cannot tweak the default face.  

It's kind of like not being able to modify ShepLoo in Mass Effect.  You can still select "Make custom Hawke" and go to town.

Works for me.

[Insomniak]

Well, hopefully, we'll get a toolset so the modders can do something about it. If not, it's still fine by me - I rather like the default Hawke models.

[Kryplixx]

What? That doesn't make sense. You can't edit the default Hawke but you can make one from scratch.

[sth128]

I might be in the minority on this issue but I don't see that much of a necessity to have the ability to change his face. I mean, if we can change minor details like scarring or hairstyle then great, but I really don't dwell on the face of the hero.



The default models Bioware gives us are pleasant enough to look at. And really, if you somehow managed to one-up Bioware at making the next medieval Depp-Pitt-Clooney supermodel, shouldn't the story somehow reflect this fact? Problem is the game won't; so your DPC Hawke will still wander around Feraldon being rejected by even the pugliest of wenches.



When I played Mass Effect (and ME2), I just chose the default male Shep. Sure, it might have been cool to roam around as Michael Jackson Shepard or Sam L. Jackson Shepard for a while, but then the novelty wears off and you realize that you have to go through the whole game looking at Shepard NOT sounding like how he looks.



The only time I even bothered to make a face from scratch was the female Shepard, as the default ones are fugly as hell. Eventually I just copied the best looking code from the face database and used that for all my characters.



Making a super-detailed face generator takes time and effort. I would much rather Bioware spend the time and effort on expanding the game universe and plot, instead of giving us the option between a mullet and a comb-over (in case somebody wants to do a Trump Shepard / Hawke / Money Effect).

Phew, thank goodness.  I like to create my own characters.  The one thing I hated about ME was the default character.  I frankly thought she was not attractive and there wasn't enough options and you have to keep it to import to 2.  I am very good at creating distinct and beautiful females with a character creator and was hesitant that they were going to take that option away with the VA.
