Going for a second rant on this subject.
But.. There's a distinct lack of Blonde Hawkes in this thread, and after trying the CC on my partners retail version of the game, I understand why. What the eff is wrong with the blonde shades in this game? There's what, 2 blonde shades? One looks basically grey in dark light, which is 90% of the game (hello high buildings of Kirkwall. Thank you for f*cking the light over <_<), and the other looks a mousey brown 90% of the game due to lighting issues.. again.
This has always bugged me. I love Bioware as a company. They've developed some of the most engrossing games ever, yet they always fail (in my opinion) on one of the most important aspects of a game, the CC.
I think I actually prefer DA:O's CC.. and that's saying something. I majorly disliked that one too, but atleast it could be modded. sighhh..
