I was able to do Patrick Stewart. I named him Picard Cousland. Of course, I didn't upload because, well, I couldn't.

Pretty happy, just want more hairstyles, scar options. Somewhat disappointed with the skin colours, especially the darker ones.

Overall, I am thankful to BioWare for letting us have this early.

First of all its awsome that Bioware let us have this earlier, as I can jump right into the game with premade characters. The only thing I didnt like was the tatoos and Hair skin, both of them look unatural compared to the nice face skins. Agree on music, though that could be on the retail version.

I love it. I would prefer background music, although I am fairly certain that's in the game.

I really like it. Looks simple, but the more I work with it, the more things I discover.

I think it's great, if lacking a little in options. But the options that are there are pretty detailed and work well together.

I haven't encountered any bugs or performance issues. (Just extraordinarily long upload character times, but BioWares servers are apparently melting anyway.)

Probably the only thing I would really like to see in it is more tattoo options (perhaps multiple layers) and the ability to shrink/enlarge and move them around the face.

It's only a small gripe however.

Overall I like it.On the otherhand a few more hairstyles,eye shapes and also would have liked lipshapes. But these are just little things. I was very pleasantly surprised that they gave us the CC to even play around with before hand.

It's nice, but I'd certainly like to see more options.



- There needs to be more sliders for customizing the top part of the head (forehead, temple width, stretching or compressing the brows, etc.,).



- More choices for eye colour (assuming the lack is due to a bug).



- More eyebrow selections



- Scars, as well as piercings should definitely be included in any fantasy editor.



- More tattoos that display on only one side of the face.



- More ear shapes.



- More skin tones

I find it very dark, and would prefer more hair and facial hair options. Otherwise pretty decent.

Loved how my character turned out.

Although, I wished they had more hair options, eye color and tattoos.

I'm sorry I didn't have the time to read through all the pages yet. Though, I do like to points made by Kylearan. Also:



-More in the selection of hair.



-Darker skin tones so my character can actually look like he is black and not like he is just a tanned Caucasian



-I think it would be nice if you could make adjustments to height, weight and muscle tone as well though, I doubt that will happen.

Forgot to mention this in my post.  Totally in agreement that it would be especially nice to be able to adjust these traits.

Great cc Bioware! :) my only complaint is that there is that you have to enter your login info every time, you should put a 'remember me' thing.

I always love more options, but I think a good balance was struck between customizable and 'argh, I can't make someone not hideous'. I love that we can do this weeks ahead of time. :)



What would make it perfect would be to see a face/voice in different lighting, and in a mini-cutscene. lot of times I make a character that looks good in a creator, but when I get into game, there's some horrible fatal flaw. And then I have to start over from scratch. :(

I think the character creator really needs some hair colours that aren't red.



We have:



1 Grey

1Blond that could be light brown at a pinch.

4 different shades of red!

1 Dark brown

1Blue/greyish black



Given that ginger folk are a minority I found this massive red hair bias to be quite annoying (and especialy the lack of mid to light browns too).



Also the distinct lack of eyebrow options was annoying. Does each character really need 2 bald eyebrow options to chose from? For some of them, that's half their options taken up by nothing.

I really like it. Lot's of options to come up with whatever you want, although more options (like tattoos, hair styles, etc.) are always good.



My character always defaults to a tattoo although I have repeatedly saved without a tattoo and managed to upload her that way...



Anyway, it only took me 5 or 10 minutes to get what I wanted and then I could start playing around from there. Thankfully I can make a character that's reasonably attractive... or even quite attractive - which was impossible in Oblivion. Couldn't make a character that I could bear to look at for 80 hours of gameplay. They all fell out of the ugly tree.

We need so many types of red hair ... red hair goes along well with all of the blood ... you don't have to wash your hair that often ...

I love character creators. I waste so many times designing characters I have no intention of using, just to look at them and experiment. And I think this CC can make some really great looking faces; a lot have the options yet the finished products can be quite horrifying if you actually try them all.

I am surprised at the number of people commenting on the lack of music. This was already a sizable download, just a preview of a portion of the game that they were nice enough to let us sample. I'm sure there will be music in the finished version, but I hardly think it is worth mentioning here given that it has no effect on the actual creation process. There are plenty of other little things to nitpick about. ;)

Problems seem to be with preferring more customization, and I honestly think even a CC designed solely from user feedback would still have a new round of complaints the next time it was released/with a different audience. You can't please everybody all of the time. You can't realistically make a character creator with an endless amount of options. I enjoyed it enough that my complaints are all pretty inconsequential. Namely the eyebrow selection (it seemed like only about two pairs were reasonable-looking for each gender/race). And the ears are pretty huge, which is at least a little odd on the humans.

It would also be cool, like some people mentioned, to have earrings/jewelry or scars. Longer hair options, but I can see why this might be scrapped; I tried some long-hair mods in Oblivion, and they looked nice in the character creation screen but clipped everwhere else.  I think the stubble and eyebrow colors should be on different intensity meters; the stubble options all seemed to fall under 'beard' more than actual stubble--unless you lighten them, in which case your eyebrows become blonde.  I also don't see why the eyeshadow/lip coloring options were removed from the male side; although I suppose it could be easily abused. ^_^

And sure, the lighting, although that just made me have to squint for the eye color options. Won't know if this is actually bad until we can step 'outside' and see what kind of mistakes we made.

But yeah, these are all really minor adjustments to me, I managed to make some great characters already and had a wonderful time doing it, really easy to use. So kudos to the developers and everyone for letting us have some fun early. :)

edit:: oh yeah! and the avatar/portrait adjustment--AMAZING idea! Image IPB

Technically, there is only one bald eyebrow. The other has a very very faint brow.

I would like to see a really good black skin tone, not like, as one poster pointed out, a caucasion with a really good tan. I would also like to have one of the voice options be from a character actor who was not caucasion-sounding. I agree with all the posters who complain of the creator being too dark, I have to use my imagination as far as what they'll look like in daylight.

Overall however I am having a lot of fun with this, and as soon as I can figure out how to make my avatar one of my characters I will.

This is the first cc I've ever used where I could create a character who was genuinely pretty without being too cartoonish. It will enhance my enjoyment of the game immensely. That said, it definitely could have used more options for hair and skin tone (especially the darker skin tones, which were indeed rather purple). The dark lighting also perturbed me, although for some reason when I went to edit my character after saving her, the lighting was much better and I was able to correct some flaws. We won't really know until we see them in-game though...
