I mean just *look* at her hair in that card image. I didn't even notice at first, but if flows down to her *knees*.
the pain.
I would never expect hair that long from BW. But braided up to suggest it could be that length let down? That's doable.
Didn't even get that much =/
I'm really bummed about the hair too (I spent several hours last night getting Brooks hair mod for ME3 working to get some long hair for my Shepard) but at least her default isn't covered with makeup. Her face is pretty while still retaining the strong looks of the Qunari.
I consider this more motivation for the modders to figure out how to do hair meshes for the Frostbite engine. It sucks, it really does, but it might work better in game. Who knows? In the meantime, I'd love to see the dwarven female CC next. 
Good thing you have humans, elves, and dwarves already.
Not really.
The Dwarf I've never really enjoyed playing in DAO.
The Elf I am forced to have a tattoo I don't want on my face.
The Human is the exact same backstories as previous games.
So alas there is no silver lining here.
True. It is a good thing humans have a nice variety of long hairstyles I can retreat too.
Oh well. I shall keep the dream of playing a lovely amazonian long haired lady huddled to my chest. One day. Oneeee dayyyy.
Kind of funny, but Pandora was playing "one day more" from les miserables when I read your post.

No silver lining at all? Think of the people who want to play an overweight character or a child or an elderly person or a very muscular woman a flat chested woman, etc...they get zero possible choices.
Did you see the picture of that male elf with the invisible vallaslin? It looks like you can make them so faint you can't even see them 
I don't think the "backstory" plays much of a role in DA:I like it did in DA:O (or even DA2) it seems more like Mass Effect where Shepard can be a Colonist, Spacer, or Earthborn and there are like 2 mentions of it in the entire game (which are possible to miss).
The human mage backstory seems interesting to me. Being part of the war, being forced into the rebellion when the circles rebelled and you were in one. I can see potential there

Well, considering I want to play a Vallaslin-less Elf an argument can be made that I want to play as a child. 
I saw the picture, and I clearly saw the tattoos. Even pointed them out before the Bioware employee who made it pointed them out in the same spot.
The backstory is the source of various quests so I think it has a bigger role than Mass Effect does.

Only if we weren't talking about physical appearance. An adult body without a vallaslin is still an adult body. Also you were the only one to clearly see it. That probably means your screen settings are really strange (dark, high contrast, etc...) But yeah never mind. I'm sorry you are so downtrodden and the game has nothing to offer you in aesthetics or story, good day to you.
I have only two complaints about the CC vid.
1- It didn't go through the hair options for the human/elf/dwarf females.
2-It didn't show the female dwarf
I'm a little sad about the lack of hairstyles for the Qunari but I wasn't planning on making one anyway.I will make one eventually but it's not on my must-play-now list.
Even so I don't mind the hairstyle with the tiny bun in the back,so for me...it's not a huge issue.But I understand that it's a big one for others,so I'm sorry that you guys are upset 
I'm hoping before the release,they will at the very least release a CC demo,so we can play with that until release

I know what you meant. Just trying to lighten the topic with a joke.

On one of the threads(the Twitter one I think) Bioware said that there won't be a CC released before the game.
Give her bigger horns, and a squarer jaw and she is perfect! Never seen such an amazing default! I really like that they went with more gruff looks for her, and hopefully elf will be elegant
She's amazing indeed. Only the hair options are missing :/

They made another video on youtube that shows some more including dwarves and elves.
I really love the first preset, I'm getting a very elegant vibe from her
Her and the 3rd are going to be my go-to presets. I think they're stunning!
I really like that they put such effort in general into the presets. It feels like each of them are "default" to some extent
So within the last two days we've found out that
1) Female characters are forced to wear frumpy man clothes to the ball like MotA and there are no dress options
2) Female Qunari hairstyles are limited to 3 and all look like someone added some low res tar lumps to her scalp
3) Healing spells and specializations are gone and potions are more limited than Dark Souls
My excitement sure took a nosedive quick.
Pardon the interruption, but I had to share with you guys this.
This...this just blew my mind. I was looking for something else, and well...
Look at the differences. If this is happening for kids, no wonder we're having a hard time getting fair and equal representation as full adults. I found girlsplay the funniest/saddest, considering that's exactly that's the excuse for folks that use the "girls don't play real games" fling around. Ignoring the fact that the site is for little kids, naturally. The categories are the most telling of all.
Excuse me, I'm feeling a little melancholy right now, considering that when I grew up, video games weren't segregated by sodding gender. I'm a little angry because I find that just sick and wrong. I'm not foaming at the mouth, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little pissed off.
It's fitting the trope/stereotype of guys like Hot Wheels and girls like Barbie.
Can I just say growing up I hated both and was more of a stuffed animal fiend. I mean, I still have them and one of them doesn't look so stuffed anymore:

I'm hoping we didn't just trade heal spamming for barrier spamming because the same thing by a different name isn't an improvement.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read up about that. I could certainly see that one happening a lot, particularly in higher levels. It also makes me wonder about how big these dungeon crawls are going to be. If it's on a Skyrim/BG2 level, then healing is going to be an issue. The potion amount is something that can be tweaked either before launch or as a post-release feature. I'm not too worried there. However, that's for another thread.
I'm grumbling a lot about the lack of even a simple dress for the ball. It didn't have to be extravagant, but it could have at least been there. I'm never one to underestimate the sheer amount of work that goes into making a game, especially for animation. However, it strikes me as odd that they couldn't, say, make at least a skirt and top mesh flow and animate correctly considering everything else they've pulled off.
It's not the end of the world for me, nor is it going to kill much interest in the game for me. I know I'll enjoy it. This, however, is the first thing that's diminished my anticipation of the game so far. "Sorry ladies, but even giving an existing mage robe style a new mesh for the ball is just too much work. However, we've got a suit that looks nice for both genders. That's good enough, right?" It is good enough, for sure, and at least it doesn't look like the MotA nightmare. Still, the excuse rings a little hollow this time.
As everything else I've discovered related to DA:I over the summer that I didn't agree with, I'll be over it within a day or so. I'm pretty disappointed for now. I can live without long hair, but not even a dress. Damn.
I won't rant about this one again, promise. I'd rather try to focus on how utterly freaking gorgeous that dwarven lady looks. 
How bad is the outfit for the ball?
Is it ME3 FemShep's dress levels of bad?

Source, anyone?

We haven't seen it. I'm hoping it's a nice pantsuit but I'm fairly easy to please.
I just don't want it to be ugly.

It appears to be a nice suit from what we can tell. Red top, gold sash and what appears to be black trousers. As I mentioned in the above post, that does work for more and so far, doesn't look like the MotA nightmare or the N7 dress. I am very disappointed though, that we couldn't get a dress. I know they've cited animation issues as a reason and I can accept it. I just don't like it. 
Like I said, I'll be over it in a day or two.

Got one. This nightmare for Hawke and no, there wasn't a dress option for Fem Hawke:

I'm just going to throw this up here because I know that art takes from real life so on and so forth but I always view the Inquisitor as a military leader. Just comparing male and female dress uniforms in the US Military:
This is the super duper dress uniforms and outside of the medals and chevrons denoting rank there is not a HUGE difference. I get people want (some at least) their female PC to have these crazy ball gowns or evening dresses but at the same time... at least as a military leader it would make sense... to me at least if the female "dress" uniform would look like the male one, at least closely.
I like the look of the female Dwarf Inquisitor
