Hey, Bioware! You know how you could make everyone happy?

 

Just let us click on any party character, at any time – and customize them completely. Not just give the Inquisitor a haircut or take Blackwall to the barber. Let us change Varrick into a Qunari woman, Sera into a bearded dwarf, make Solas black, Cassandra to look like Aveline. Let your guard down! Let your users have fun! This way, everyone could play with a party they loved and stop complaining about how characters look.

 

In Origins I used to do this through mods and had a total blast even if some cutscenes didn’t look right. In Saints Row IV, you could change your character around completely at any point in the game, as often as you wanted, which I did every day and had another blast.

 

 

OK, possible objections that I foresee:

 

1. “No! My character! My dwarf, my dwarf!” Well, is it about bending people to your will or about making money by making customers happy? ;)

 

2. ”This breaks lore!” Yes, it does. But players are smart enough to handle that. We know it breaks lore if we make Varric an elf girl and he still talks about being a dwarf, in a male voice. That’s even part of the fun.

 

We, your customers, are even smart enough to handle tactics

As strange as the rest might be I would indeed like to re-edit my Inquisitor rather than have to start a new game and go through the dang Cutscenes again just to see if I like it this time around. Editing companion looks might be safe-ish but changing race...there's some serious potential to screw things up in that area. 

 

Say you make Iron Bull a dwarf, but the game still remembers that he's Qunari in cutscenes, combat, general animation, armor models, dialogue...any of those could be disastrous for many reasons. I don't think many would find that bit 'fun', least of all the developers that have an even better idea of how potentially bad that could be.

Nah...

All the characters would be ruined. They are part of the story line. Imagine all those dialogues that had to be duplicated to either male or female to fit in?

I don't think Bioware will rewrite the entire game for that.

The companions shouldn't be customisable. They use special 3D models and that gives them unique looks to fit their personality. Nobody wants generic NPCs in their party.

 

What I miss in the game is a 'barber' NPC allowing you to change your appearance once you are in game. It is very hard to come up with a decent looking character. Perhaps due to the lighting, he/she looks very different in game compared to the customiser.

I don't think you should be able to customize other party members, but the ability to customize your inquisitor later would be great. I had to restart the game a few times on my second playthrough because I didn't end up liking the way my human male inquisitor looked.
