We've covered this so many times OP but I for one still find reason to dredge it back up every now and again as I'm one who will spend hours making my fem sheps (as I usually pick her first) so for me its important that the creator is robust and worth my wild:
The basic point BW should take away from this list is the more realistic and pretty (handsome for male) I can my fem or male hero the better even if its a different species I want them to be realistic but also have some points of beauty as everyone does have something to like:
Eye color slider just give me the rainbow along with white, black, grey
A simple button to select Yes or No on inner glow for eyes to make them TIM or cybrog style. Cuz who doesn't love this effect?
Spectacular hair styles like EVE online has they're so creative long braids, straight, or buzzed they're all standout and aid in making your character the most unique person to walk into the room! Here are some photos to highlight what I mean!

Zoom capability on face I'd like to manually zoom in so I can really tell on my tiny 20 inch TV just what eye color my shep really has instead of having to start the game and catch a glimpse of it in the light to findout what surprise I picked.
I do want to keep the head swivel during creation however make use be able to use the RB or LB buttons to make her/him turn to the right and left so that I can check out nose and chin because that's very hard to tell in swivel only mode.
Hair colors again give me the rainbow with a slider no preselected blocks please I'd like to customize my shades.
Two tone hair coloring allow us to also mix hair tones. Allow use to from a drop down or toggle button to pick a base hair tone of black, brown, blonde, or red. Then allow us access to the rainbow slider from the normal hair coloring options this chooses the top color so you can have great two tones of black/red or brown blonde to make your character your own. This option however would only be applicable to shep's that have short - long hair styles buzz cuts can't do two tone. Some samples:

image.eveonline.com/Character/91438458_256.jpgScars yes bring them back and have them brutal even I loved having my fshep have a blazing horrid scar right across her nose and under her eyes it made her fearless for me and then you guys took it away! Even create burn or shrapnel marks for both sexes and all species
Pick your species I say this should be in there to some extent Humans, quarians, and asari can share some resources like skin tones, eye color and shape, and basic sliding functions as they're all humanoid. Turians and Asari can still share resources as well.
For Alien's only choose how synthetic your characters wobble is would be neat to select how thick the accent is.
For Quarians make them either suitless or allow our heros to have more then one moment where we can see their faces and in the case of the latter we can customize both the face under the mask as fully as any other species and we also customize their suit pattern and color mix maybe up to 3 shades base color, pattern color, and mask + accessory color.
For Turians, Quarian, and Asari we can have face paint/tattoos or allow them to be bare with no skin detailing.
