It would've been nice if you could rotate the character (like LOTRO or Neverwinter). Without a side portrait it's hard to really tell how much things jut out like forehead, cheeks, etc.
You can rotate the character. It just can't be on a grid option. So swap back to a slider, turn your character, and then go back to the grid.

Actually, you can rotate while on a grid option too. You just have move your mouse out of the grid first. I position the cursor below the grid, and can spin the character as needed.
Not that it saves my characters from looking weird once they get in-game... 
I'm usually ultra tolerant of things like this, I adapt, but in this game, its downright ruining my enjoyment of the game. I've restarted my characters at least 10 times due to blue eyebrows, bizarre facial animations, loose beards, horrendous hair color, etc. I've completed the intro at least 5 times. By the time I hit the hinterlands, I'm so unsure about my character's look that I'm unable to continue. Who wants to spend 70-100 hours (or more) with a character they can't stand. I'm just completely frazzled by the experience.
I nailed a good Warden and good Hawke on first try. Here there are just so many f*ing issues with the character creature. Facial structure is fine, but the terrible, archaic hair, the downright broken colors, and the mismatching eyebrows... the very blotchy stubble (on ps4)... the glued on beards... Wtf is this?
This is something that Skyrim(Legendary Edition) and Saints Row IV allow you to do. Not only is it practical, but it adds greatly to the fun. I like to start my character off with a sloppy or homely look and as their prestige rises I go into the character creator and update their visage accordingly.

Indeed, updating my character's look to reflect his evolution is something I adore doing. Skyrim on pc had /showracemenu and I made generous use of it. Over the course of a long career, my character started off as a stubbled but otherwise fresh-faced nord, and eventually evolved into a grizzled, scarred man with an epic beard.
I would have liked to do something similar with the inquisitor. Fresh faced warrior who would eventually become an imposing figure with some authoritative facial hair, scars and deeper creases.
Sadly not going to happen for the moment.
Yes, a Black Emporium kind of DLC would be a real pleasure, because I like to change the hairstyle of my inqui from time to time.
IM sure we will see something like that as DLC. Make us pay for the most wanted features that many game have from the start.

Yeah, considering that the Black Emporium DLC was completely free in DA2, they'll obviously make us pay now. Nice reasoning.
That being said, such a feature should be part of the main game from the get-go.
I'm in the same position -- the option to change appearance in DA:2 was awesome (as it was in Skyrim) and I'm disappointed the developers did not carry this feature through to Inquisition. I'm about 20 hours in so far and I'm sick of the hair style I chose originally, but I don't think I want to re-roll this far in.
Doesn't seem too difficult to add a potion to the game (there is one to reset skills), or even an NPC. Even WOW has a barber.
Loving the game so far, but the lack of an ingame appearance changer is a definite issue for me. There is no way to see for sure in the character creator if the character will look good when animated and in cutscenes, and frustratingly enough - we have no way of saving character settings from one attempt to the other.
Instead of playing yesterday, I spent all day trying to make a character I like. Now I'm a few hours into the game and the shape of her chin is really driving me up the wall. Standing still, she's gorgeous, but in some conversations she looks demented.
Please, please, please - in a game where so much time is spent watching our characters emote on screen, there has to be a way to edit that character after start. Or at least change their appearance if you're forced to restart the game because something doesn't look quite right. I don't care if it's just a console command (like in Skyrim) or some other way to approach it, but it should have been there from day 1.
I am so sick of the prologue because of how many times I have played through it. One time, I had the face perfect...but I got through the prologue and that afternoon lighting in Haven made me realize I didn't like the hair color. Now I can't seem to get the face perfect again =(
It doesn't help that the CC seems to average your changes once you get into the actual game. I make minor little changes I think make something go from wrong to perfect, start the game, and it seems like the change wasn't made. This keeps happening with my Inquisitor's chin. I SWEAR it is much thinner in the CC, then I get into the game and all of a sudden he has a freaking fat chin.
It would be nice to have the mirror like in DA2 so if you see something wrong you would change it. Something BIoware could add in a patch? Or as part of some DLC?
Yes please! I would very much like this feature to be added as soon as possible.. Mainly because my character's stubble turns into some weird handlebar mustache when the camera zooms out.
.___. In some cruel twist of fate, I finally got my face, hair color, everything as I want....and the Longsword of the Dragon skin glitched out and doesn't look right now.

You can rotate left to right, at least on PC. I just click on the head and drag. There's no up / down, but its something. Helps a lot with hair, chin, etc.
I also want to change my character. If they dont want you to do drastic changes at least let us change hair and makeup. Thats what real people do. And in terms of story telling is an opportunity to show how our character change and mature in the game.
I just realized something. So often they quote that the problem with providing long hair is that it clips.
But my freaking armour clips horribly! There's a long jacket and the shirt tails are constantly coming right through the back of the jacket.
So why is armour clipping acceptable but hair clipping isn't?
Well, I goofed up on my elven girl mage on the PS4. I was too excited to play the game that I didn't realize I had to hit the square button to customize. So my elven girl has one of the custom looks. The brown hair one. At least she has an accent but all I can think of is this character looks like a little girl with Traynor's voice from Mass Effect 3. 
I found a hat for her to wear but she could use a make over. To far into the game to restart now. I did create a male rogue/hunter which I'll play next. My elven girl is trial run.
In fact, I actually dont mind paying 10-15 bucks for something like that.
No offense, but this kind of attitude is why they're able to get away with stuff like that. Because they know they can add it later and people will pay for it anyway.
BioWare is no exception, Skyrim did the same thing. Though in Skyrim you can use the console to return to the editor at any time. There was a save editor for Origins someone made that would let you import faces onto an existing save, kind of a pain in the ass and you still had to start from scratch everytime but at least there was the option.
Though it seems that Inquisition will be about as favorable to modders as Mass Effect 2 was, with all the things BioWare did right they still didn't make another Toolset. Shame.
Sadly there is no such thing.
Not yet. Hopefully BW will respond or maybe a player made mod?
In-game appearing tweaking and a walk toggle... THAT'S ALL I ASK!

Thanks for the info. I guess lack of a meaningful game manual (the PC version refers to use with a gamepad), and any sort of actual "rotation" icons, I never thought to randomly click/drag around the screen.
LOL!
Until this is added, I'm really only going to play the multiplier (which is surprisingly good)
I don't care who you are, ain't nobody got time to endlessly re-make characters and play through the prologue because the dark blush you chose looks like bright circus paint haphazardly slathered across your characters face as soon as you enter a beam a sunlight.
And hopefully when they do eventually add it, they include gender specific hairstyles. Unisex hairstyles are very awkward and lazy.
Also more scar options would be nice. Just a little one under the cheek or across the lip. A little scar here or there can look really cool, but appearing as if you just fought a bear Cpt. Kirk slow hand-to-hand style is morbid and gross.
I don't know about everyone else, but the main reason I play Dragon Age games are for:
1) Character customization.
2) Story
3) Immersion
4) The fun "Pause mid fight combat"
Looking as if you just dropped out of clown college to fight bears doesn't exactly fit the bill.

Actually, I had a lot of fun in the CC. I rerolled 6 times and spent a good 10 hours designing.
