What i'm speaking about is , after many hours and tries of making your Warden either you didn't like his/her looks , you didn't like the portrait or maybe you just couldn't pick between what class you wanted. 

then you finally got one thats ....decent not the greatest looking Warden but decent looking and you just settle with him/her just so you can play the game already lol.

[dragonflight288]

Oh by the Stone, yes!

 

EDIT: Even deleted said character and started all over once because I didn't like his nose.

Yes-especially when I'm trying to make a male Cousland on console.

[sylvanaerie]

I use toolset to alter appearance after I've made my character, so it doesn't matter what I create in CC.  And I've even made a mage Cousland using the console (started with a rogue).  Playing on the PC means I never have to "settle" though at times I have trouble actually picking and sticking with a character class/race/build.

 

That's what mods are for  .

[luna1124]

Yes, settled on a few of them, sometimes they look terrible in-game compared to the CC. That is what this mod is for

[theskymoves]

I've only ever made one Warden I was happy with, and even her appearance was soured for me by some unwanted, unasked for 'con crit'. All the rest? Hideous abominations, especially compared to the Wardens I see other people post images of.

 

Esme Amell, who I thought looked okay until I was informed by my betters that she doesn't:

 

Kallian Tabris, big ol' pile o' CC fail *tweaks that adorable wee nose*:

 

My canon Warden, Nariel Surana, also horrible CC fail:

 

I do rather like the DA2-elf version of her, though I never actually played with this morph:

 

Laerwen Mahariel, my first attempt at a toolset Warden. Poor cross-eyed little thing. :-(

 

And Moira Cousland's stupid face. I've redone her morph in the toolset *checks the WIP folder* eight times. This is #8, or maybe #7? Still don't like it, but picking at it doesn't make it better:

 

tl; dr, character creation is really really hard.

 

ETA that as awful I am at DAO CC, they are works of art compared to the weird potato-faced Hawkes I've made, or the thing I saved the world with in Mass Effect. :-/

[congokong]

I did that in DA2 for my female Hawke on my first playthrough. She looked ugly/mannish on the creation menu no matter what, but once the actual game started she actually looked pretty good.

[TheMadHarridan]

On the PC, no, I've never settled. I have enough appearance mods, and I take around an hour to make a character in the CC, so most of the time they're ravishing beauties by the time I'm done with them. I'm a very visual person, so I can't stand having to play and look at a hideous character for anywhere from 40-120 hours, depending on the DLCs.

 

On the PS3, yes, I've settled on a few "decent" looking Wardens because the vanilla resources make it next door to impossible to make a beautiful/handsome one. However, I've also immediately deleted characters after seeing them in game because they were just too ugly, and then I started all over again.

[Elhanan]

In ME series, could not make a male Shepard that was acceptable, so all were the default appearance. Almost all other games have made something acceptable; deleted those that looked sub-standard during cut-scenes.

[Xilizhra]

I suppose what I've done is... probably settling? I just used default Hawke for Hawke, and as for my Warden, I used the fourth or fifth elf preset, shrank the chin slightly, removed the blush, changed eyeshadow color, then changed the hair around, and called it a day. The idea of spending ages fiddling with various facial features never appealed to me.

Yep. Got tired of restarting and went "close enough." 

[themikefest]

I just use one of the default looks and then add eye color, hair color, hair style, makeup and push the start button

[Sarcastic Tasha]

I always seemed to end up making characters that looked the same so now I try and pick a feature like a tiny nose or a square jaw then build around that.

I have made characters that ended up looking different in game than in the cc. My first Hawke looked a lot more blonde in game and her lipstick was much brighter, I just made it part of her personality. So I wouldn't really say I settled, she didn't look as I intended but I ended up liking her.

[gottaloveme]

Your'e right there are times you just can't come at it and have to change.

 

TSM - I love the freckles.

 

To make the potrait not so bad I make them pull funny faces.

[Magdalena11]

Once in a while, in DAO.  I'm still not sure what Cailan says when he meets the warden because for me that is the moment I decide if the warden is going to make it out of Ostagar.

[TEWR]

Yes. Typically, when I make a character design I like I stick with it for repeated playthroughs. That's why all my characters look the same.

 

I once spent 3 hours trying to make Damaeus Cousland. Then something went wrong in game and I had to make him all over again.

[Revelat0]

This is why I like games with default faces like Mass Effect BroShep because it takes me one restless night, or all of a pre-release to decide what I am going to play as, and most of the time I end up playing my self (or whatever is close to me). And then I spend hours figuring out a face (close to me) and most of the time that is impossible so I settle with "He resembles me... I guess." After that I play for a few hours and suddenly something pops out as weird about the character to me and I start over to fix the mistakes. If the mistakes make it worst I revert to my previous character and try to convince myself "Everything's gonna be okay..." Anyway... OCD is not fun when it comes to gaming.

[sylvanaerie]

Wow.  I don't know what I'd do without the toolset.  I did try ME but my poor lady shepard...well, she had more than a passing resemblance to her namesake.  I never got past the first cutscene.

 

Since I am able to tinker and tool around till satisfied, I create the morph, plop it on my override and voila, Neria Surana looks exactly the same every time I play her.  Same with Gawain Cousland or Natia Brosca.

 

Eliminates a lot of issues with OCD.

OCD is horrible with gaming i know! >.< ugh im looking at my current Human Noble warden right now and i don't know if i wanna remake him with a beard or not like , without a beard makes him more noble like but with a beard really makes him my character (i love beards) then the portrait oh god the portrait just makes it worse for me i get so perfectionate about it being good , then i notice a little eye glitch or lip glitch and i just can't play it D:

Freckles are very very important. Yes they are. 

[luna1124]

TSM... Who said something was wrong with your Esme????? She is perfect!!!

[Jaison1986]

Oh, I had those days, I spent hours in the CC trying to make an good looking human male. It never felt right, it just... lacked something, then one day I stumbled in this particular preset and I knew it, this bad boy was going to be my warden:

 

 

Female wardens are much easier to make in contrast, I never had trouble with them.

That is a nice looking Warden my man the problem i always find is (this is my personal problem) the males always have this "Dull" look on there faces it ruins how they look and thank god for Emotion's in portraits i would have a hell of a time to make "Dull" face look good in them as well xD

[Lavaeolus]

Eh, always a bit. I tend to just run with it, though. All I really want to do is make something that A) looks different from the preset, and B) doesn't look entirely inhuman(/dwarven/elven?). Also, sometimes I get bored and just randomly take sliders to their maximum, so, you know, I have to accept sometimes the price for that joy is horror.

 

Generally, I tend to be fine until I look at the preset again later and realize I barely changed a thing about the actual face.
