My only desire for the DA:I character creator is that female qunari are actually tall and have proper horns.
And a proper physique, not just a stretched female body model. Now that would be laaaaame.... (And I'm afraid thats exactly we're going to get 
)
I am a HUGE fan of Character Creation! I love it when a game allows the player to create their own protagonist rather than a pre-determined one. I hope this game brings a deeper CC than it's predecessors who had mediocre ones at best(even ME had poor CC with limited sliders). 1 key topic for CC BioWare needs to focus on is...HAIR...Sub-topic: Ethnical hair!
I don't know... looking at those CCs just makes me think there is such a thing as too much customisation options.
I wouldn't even know where to start or what to do with half of those options and fiddling with it would probably just mess up something that I wouldn't be able to fix.
I'd rather have more hair, tatoo and scar options than a slider for lower eyelids and upperarm length.
wow! Eve and black desert have some really nice CC they are simply amazing...But i know we wont have THAT much freedom in DAI...like some other said i expect more a DAO cc style! I wish we will learn more about the cc before the game come out.. 
I just hope we can have some LONGER HAIRSTYLE ! Hear me bioware,hear me lol

I can spend a lot of time on CC. Remember deleting and redoing characters in many games because didn't like how looked on actual gameplay.
To get a CC like the Black Desert is a dream. If it's like the Guild Wars 2 CC I'm happy.
Black Desert's CC looks amazing.
Too bad I don't play MMORPG 'cause most of them are on monthly fee basis.
I might play that one if it's just pay-for-once though.
Guild Wars 2 is buy to play and it's a good game. It's on sale: 50% off until april 13.
I just hope we have CC before launch. It took me hours to come up with a character that I'm comfortable with ) Would be nice if I can create my character before hand and start the game asap )
I love in depth character customization for RPGs for the same reason I like dialogue options that let me define my character's personality. Making a character that's visually, "my character" is every bit as important as fleshing out who they are beneath the skin, because how they look can say things about who they are. The condition of their skin, their apparent age, how they keep their hair, the coloring of their hair (factors into age), how they treat their body and thus what sort of shape they're in, scars, a missing eye or blinded eye (with scar through the eye to match), tattoos and much, much more all can say something about who your character is. The things they've done, seen and experienced can be conveyed through even very minute visual aspects.
This isn't something I do for the game, or for other people out there, it's for me when I try to come up with an idea for a character. Building the character visually helps me develop who this person is, and how they're going to act, in my mind, before I'm ever allowed to say a single word or perform a single act with them in game.
As a result, character customization (statistical and visual) are some of the most important things an RPG can bring to the table. I view character customization as equally important to gameplay, writing, dialogue, choices, consequences, gear, leveling mechanics and pretty much any aspect of a game. I don't really view any element of an RPG as 'unimportant' or 'lesser' they all have their very real value and importance in my mind.
Wow, Black Desert's CC is amazing! I intensely dislike MMOs, but if that ever gets published stateside as a free-to-play, I'll pick it up and make a ton of characters.
I just hope the defaults for Elves look good this time.
Origins' made me cry. 
Oooh pretty. Wish I could get my characters to look that good. I think the only time I made a character that actually looked pretty was in KOA: Reckoning.
I'm a total junkie for design so I will spend way too long in the CC trying to make a good character. But I feel like every time I get them into the game, they never look as good as they did in the creator. Chubby cheeks Hawke was a big problem for me in DA2. They'd look fine in the creator and then I'd go into the game and boom! Hamster cheeks.
I recently played my first Male Shepard ME playthrough as well, and found him a lot harder than FemShep to get looking good. Throughout the first game he looked like he had the sun in his eyes. Came to be fond of his appearance in the second game, and then 3 happened. Good grief. He did not transfer well. He suddenly became fat, bald and with tiny eyes. I rebuilt him into a wonderful silver fox of a man though.
If DAI came with a CC that detailed I would be in it for hours, and I'd be totally ok with that.
I just have my fingers crossed for good hair. I so desperately want my inquisitor to run through Thedas with fabulous locks of hair.
I think it's realistic to expect at least as much customization as DAO/DA2. I don't think it's unrealistic to say it will probably be more robust than either of those games since Bioware has put heavy emphasis on customization with their design philosophy this time around.
I'm a HUGE character creation fan. A lot of times finding out a game allows me to create a character will be a deciding factor in purchasing a game. So...yeah, Black Desert looks AMAZING. I particularly like that it looks like a lot of the adjustments to the face and body are done through a click-and-drag system instead of sliders...sliders are often frustrating for me because it can be really unclear what a slider does until you fiddle with it, and sometimes I end up fiddling so much that I end up with some really awkward proportions that I don't notice until I start up the game. (And then sometimes, yeah, I have to sit through lengthy cutscenes to redo it.)
Another thing I wish more games had? A "random" button in CC. Presets are a decent start, but sometimes I just want to throw the dice and get an interesting base to start off of. I don't know if it ACTUALLY makes my character more unique when these exist, but it makes me feel like it does, and sometimes it spits out interesting combinations or features I wouldn't have thought of without randomization. (Of course you'll often get characters that look like they were beaten with the ugly stick with this first, but I usually find it a lot easier to "fix" a weird, random ugly character with a few features I really like than trying to adjust a preset to look unique enough from the preset without coming out looking...odd.)
I don't really expect DA:I to have a random button since i don't think any BW games have before, but I would be SO happy if it did.
I think it would be cool if Bioware took a page out of Deep Silver's book and uploaded the Character creator to the website prior to the game release for us to play around with, like they did with Saint's Row 4. Granted that would be a huge amount of work, but it would be awesome.
