just bring back the mirror from da2, make it a running gag in the games from now on
heh yeah, it would be the easiest thing to do, worked fine in DA:2
I've heard rumours that we might be able to revisit Kirkwall, why can't we just go back to the Black Emporium, or heck the mirror was discovered by looters and sold to some hoity-toity hair dresser in Val Royeaux.
I would like something that lets you edit your character ingame.
Why not? If ya don't like it, then don't use it. Simple.
More options are always better, unless they hurt a more substantial portion of the games development, which I doubt something like this will.
Same as you, OP. I would change hair and make-up, but nothing more.
However, I like the feature to be in there (like in Black Emporium) as a way to dodge having to replay the opening scenes a million times to get a character right - I'm looking at you, ME2. I would tweak as soon as I started the game then leave them alone if I needed to change them.
You can visit a shop, so there must be room in Orlais for a hairdresser.
After all, feathers are sometimes all the rage, and even live songbirds.
That would be a great look for the Inquisitor, assuming the birdies don't have loose bowels.
Only if it worked. In the Black Emporium, you could at least use the reasoning that Varric is changing his story, but it wouldn't really work in Inquisition. Maybe minor changes, but nothing too big. So, yeah, like make-up and whatnot, that sounds fine.
How about "you aren't actually changing your facial features and that's just how you always looked" for reasoning? I mean think about it, can your character really stop time and interact with a menu in battles? Can your character just pick an area on a map and basically teleport there instantly? Can your character really carry around hundreds of items including several sets of armour but with nothing to carry this stuff in?
I don't see why we even need explanations for this stuff, it's a mirror and in the game world all your character is doing is looking in the mirror.
It would be great. I always end up recreating my character 3-4 times because it's hard to see all their features in the creation screen. I usually realize that some of their proportions are off when I'm half through the game.
It would also be interesting to make your character change in time, add scars and weariness to their face, injuries, edit their hair depending on the circumstances, add piercings etc. I did that with my warden but it was annoying because I had to restart a new game every time and then import the new morph with the save editor, and people who don't play on PC are screwed.

You didn't have to have 'realism' to have a feature like this in a game though.
Maybe I just screwed up my characters jawline or hair colour and just want to change it, who gives a ****?

This. It's not like changing the main character appearance gets noticed by the npcs anyway: you could make the most hideous protagonist who has ever walked on Thedas and everyone would still tell him/her that he/she is the most handsome/beautiful person in the whole world.
If you were to change completely the appearance of the main character nobody would bat an eyelid because, as far as they're concerned, he/she always looked that way.
Not a full character customization like black emporium I think. Changing your face, eye shape .... etc.. mid game just sound so unrealistic. Changing your hair, beard or make up however, would be nice though.
I have no idea why this would be an issue as it's 100% optional - you don't ever have to click on the Mirror, even. What's unrealistic for you doesn't concern my playthrough at all, and vice versa I'm sure.
^ Even then, it's not like weight gain or loss can change face shape a bit or a nose can be broken in combat and then it sets and looks different to how it was before, no...
Definitely needed. I'd be happy to go without assuming the character creator isn't hobbled by dumb angles and lighting, but I have no confidence that it won't be. I can sympathize with the poster who started and re-started ME2 because s/he couldn't get the face right, because I did the same thing. I wish they'd take several pages out of the Saint's Row 3/4 playbook as far as creation, because that is one of the best I've ever used.
What we really need is for the CC to let you fully rotate, zoom, change the lighting, test a variety of facial expressions, and test the animations while speaking. Ideally this would still be available at any point in the game for anyone who wants to use it, but if we can actually see what our characters look like from different perspectives, I'm satisfied.
I used it quite often in DA2 and would love to have this option in DAI. One of my favorite things to do was to match the skin tone of the family I wanted, and then change Hawke's face structure to the how I wanted him/her to look for the rest of the game. Sometimes the face structure you chose would give some really weird hairstyles on your family. We couldn't have that, now could we?
Also, lets keep in mind the character creators of DAO and DA2 didn't offer the best angles. In-game a character could look drastically different, and who wants to go through the intro a billion times to perfect their look?

I would like a full character customization tool during the game (other than gender and class, obviously), mainly because I'm usually so excited to get into the game when I first get it that I don't get everything quite perfect when I first make the character.
Also sometimes things look ok in character creator but in game, with different camera/lighting look bad. I just had this happen on my latest DA:O playthrough, where once I started playing the game my character's nose looked bigger than it did in the creator. Want to be able to fix stuff like that.

I had to open up by latop and just watch a show on netflix while that thing wasted my time to see if Shepard came out as some sort of ungodly monstrosity.

Are you talking about how the mirror could affect the story? Because if you could use the mirror then why not some other people too. So for example if somebody wants to disappear completely then why wouldn't this person use this kind of mirror? But maybe you could open this customization thing from options menu so then I think it would be easier to imagine that you have always looked like that. At least I could. But then I would also like to click a mirror in a game and be able to put some make-up on 
Maybe before meeting certain people
Yes I'd like the ability to edit my character once the game has started. Sometimes the character creator is misleading. 
But maybe only in the equivalent to DA2's Act 1. That's plenty enough time to tweak my character's appearance suitably.
I'd like to be able to alter my character's appearance during the game.
Not only in the middle, before and after the middle too would be nice...
yes i want another mirror of transformation, but not for race/sex charging as that would defeat the point of having unique content for them.
I thought the Mirror of Transformation was a nice touch to the game, though I hardly used it. Still, I think many people appreciate having the option to change a characters appearance in-game so, yes, bringing it, or something like it, back to DA:I would be cool.

Yeah god that never needs to happen again. That was ridculous.
I think there was a mod to cut it down severely in length. PC mustard race.
Yes, I love this option. I'm the kind of person who will completely restart the game if my character's nose looks a little off. If it's too immersion-breaking for some people, then they don't have to use it!
