I also am a restart ho. For me though, I mainly enjoy the early stages of the game, when it is in my mind, the most difficult.

 

Near end game, I also think to myself, "What about trying X"? Then I go do it.

You guys are freaks....

 

I took 5 minutes do to mine; basic but really good looking.

 

The only time he doesn't look good is in the infamous chat with Varric where he gets cross-eyed...

 

This... its just an avatar.. wtf. 

 

I did one initially, archer, found it to be pretty boring, elected to do a qunari instead. Done. 

[JaegerBane]

Never...did...that...ever...
 
My current main char which I also consider "canon" for the future took me at least 5 or so attempts until I was satisfied with the ingame-look ..I start to hate the intro and know the entire dialogue by now ...

That's cool. My specific problem (at least the character face problem, there were a bucketload of mistakes I'd made in the story that added to the case for restarting) was that I completely misjudged how my character was supposed to look in most scenes. There's a particular nose type that, under the conditions of the CC, looks straight and broad, but under the light seen in cutscenes looked hooked and weird. The eyes and mouth also made him look somewhere between sad and C-3PO. I just passed the point where you first meet Viv and he looked almost like he was a sobbing kid during the recruitment scene. This after my first one, who's huge eyes and odd mouth made him look like he was mentally unstable.

I'm going to use the Face #2 human male as a base next time, as it's closer to what I was wanting.

Don't know if this makes sense or is just me being a nudge. I tend to play the first act of any game several times to get the feel of the controls, fine tune my PC, and get the early results I want in a game, especially if it is long and involved.  Any area of a game can only be new once, so before I move on, I want to know what I'm doing, gameplay wise, before I unlock any new areas. I don't want to resort to a guide, as this learning of the game is one of the main entertainments to me.

Only three? Lucky  I think I must have done a dozen by now.

 

This.

 

I'm 80 hours played and I haven't made it past Skyhold.  Keep restarting, but that's my way with epic games.  Gotta find the perfect combo to take for that first playthrough.  This last time was just to tweak eyebrows though, they were bugging me.

Errr... I sometimes do this, but never intentionally. I wouldn't have made my first restart had I not had major issues with the look of my first character

As for controls, it took me ~3 hours to nail down a control scheme I was totally comfortable with.

I did finish my first playthrough, because I was able to romance Dorian without any problems. 

Then I made a second character, deleted it after 15 mins.

Third one: Happy. Wanted to do all the sidequests. 40hours into the game I romanced Dorian again, broke it off because I wanted to see how a romance with Bull played out. Bug. Cannot romance Bull, cannot reengage in a romance with Dorian. Stopped playing that save hoping for a fix someday. 

Fourth: female human rogue for a change, romancing Cullen and loving it, except for the leveling etc. getting repetitive

[NakedEmperor]

I usually dont use much time in CC. I restarted Origins alot but that was only to see the different starts.

I never aim for beauty most of my character are ruggedly handsome

[Crackseed]

A couple of the comments about "Why are you all so hung up on it?" are silly - different strokes for different folks

 

Some people roll in, tweak a few things, go in and are like "Eh, works" and that's awesome. Others, like myself, prefer to finely craft our avatars because, well, that matters to us along with the meat of the game.

 

See no reason to find it absurd or weird - tis the beauty of an RPG

[Lintton]

I also had to restart a few times, even considered platying a dwarf. But I had done warrior the last two games i used as canon and wanted to change it up with an elf mage.

Well, if nothing else, since you're going to be looking at this character for 80+ hours then it makes sense to be happy with the appearance.

[MarchWaltz]

This would all be fixed if Bioware kepts one of the good things in DA2 and gave us the mirror.

 

Never ceases to amaze me how much Bioware can make a great, great game, but at the make time make stupid, stupid mistakes. 

[Aryvine]

I'm the same way, and have probably restarted over a dozen times so far. I just made what I thought was a perfect male elf, that is, until he opened his mouth to talk...

I kid you not it looks like the poor thing got his front teeth knocked out of his head! Literally, the gap is huge.

[whiteravenxi]

It took me nearly 4 times to get a fem elf I liked. Got 25 hours in and realized my Keep World State never imported.

 

Restarted.

 

55 hours later and my romance progress with Sera bugged out and I get locked out. 

 

Rolled back 25 hours. Unlocked Sera romance. Woo! 

 

Pretty happy with my elf (though my next one, fem elf mage, will be better). I'm now another 30 hours in. Nearly caught up to my first save but now the patch is out and I realize I could go back and do a 'certain thing' and not have my voice change. But... nah. I'm not gonna bother.

 

Well, I don't even know how many hours it's been anymore. But jeez, that CC lighting is so misleading. Nothing like going for subtlety only to step outside to talk to Cass and realize it looks like a 5 year old took pencil crayons to your face. Loooool.

The eyebrows are what caused me to restart over and over. It looked like they were always black no matter the hair color. And they seemed really big. I finally caved and gave the inquisitor darker hair. Which worked out.

[TXAstarte]

Can't believe people worry about stuff like this. You only re-roll a RPG if you screw up stats.

I can understand why so many people restart Divinity: Original Sin. But not this game. This is like cheesy RPG. You don't even have total control of stats in this game. And the Borderlands-style skill trees can be reset.

I tried to create a George Parros, and he ended up looking like a red-headed Sam Elliott, with heavy mascara.

But who cares.

It's the lack of stat control that is the major downfall. Consoles are just ruining these RPG's. They feel like grade one math class now. With many of the stats untouchable, hidden, or being calculated for us.

You only reroll if you mess up stats.

 

Some of us enjoy the process of creating the look, and we're playing the game to suit us, not you.

If you make a ginger, you do get ginger eyebrows. Just sayin'.

Apparently we are getting such an option

[Zu Long]

Restarted my elf 5 times before I was satisfied with his look, my human once and my Qunari twice.

Was that confirmed? Could you provide the source?

Yeah, it was the intro cut scenes that were throwing me off. Those textures load weird on ps3...

I was about 8 hours in when I realized I made an elven Dana Carvey. It could not be unseen.
