It is amazing how in an RPG, where the most representative of the game is your character, we can't look as we wish, if we want to do an intimidating woman like Cassandra, is impossible!, there are plenty of hairstyles that are only "special" for other NPCs and companions (Leliana, Flemeth, Cole, Dorian)
Why they not put them in the creator?
If I want to make a handsome character like Cullen, it seems impossible, all inquisitors I saw all have the same face with small details.

I say it again, what most matter in a RPG is the character, if we want play a bad-ass character, Isn't fair we look like goofy

I definitely agree. It sucks that the companions and major npcs get custom models with unique hairstyles while the MOST IMPORTANT character aka the player character, gets stuck with the sub-par regular character creator used to make every Villager # 1- 100 and the same ugly hairstyles as every other random bloke out there.

 

Verdict: DAI needs Beauty School DLC

We had this conversation ages ago, back when the game wasn't even officially out yet. There are a ton of bald/semi-bald/buzzcut hairstyles and that sucks. But I don't think that the ones that actually have, ya know, hair look that bad. We have some kind of long haristyles, a few military styled ones, a pixie haircut... Not the most majestic hairstyles, but definitely something that I can live with.

I also like to believe that my Lavellan looks badass and not like Goofy. I really do believe that this hairstyle especially can look really warrior-like, and I love that! (It is actually my favourite hairstyle, together with the pixie cut, available in the game.) And if you fancy other hairstyles and have the PC version of Inquisition, then you can always mod your game.

Well, the game hardly is to blame for the player's lack of skill with the character creation.

I've seen some rather impressive Inquisitors out there.

It's weird that the companions have unique hair, facial hair, and eyebrows (and custom, well blended makeup!) that the PC is restricted from but as far as faces, the CC is extremely robust and you can make a face look however you want it to. Any sub-par results in the face come from a lack of skill in the one making the character.

An example?

I look for everywhere and all the sliders and characters i founded are ugly and has the same face, this reminds me to Sims 3, when all Sims has potato faces.

Maybe she don't look weird in that picture, in another I'm sure she does.

PD: A elf never can be baddass, they are the cutest thing in the world.

Just because you don't like other people's Inquisitors, it doesn't mean they are bad. It only means they have different tastes than you.

Is not about me!

Nobody can deny Cullen is handsome, even if you don't like his style

You just cant tell me Megan Fox isn't beautiful just because you don't like her

Show me an Inquisitor who looks like a companion and i make you a statue.

Wanna bet? I have over 700 Screenshots in total. I can send you pictures of her from every single side. She's not ugly from a single one, I made sure to spent over two hours in the character creator to achieve a look that I like. (Also, I'm kind of alright at drawing, so anatomy is really important to me and I wouldn't start a run with a character that I do not like 100%.) And...no, elves certainly aren't the cutest thing in the world if they run around with a waraxe, badmouth people, are feisty and hot-headed even towards Solas and have no problem with letting peoples rage overtake them. She's...not cute. She's not supposed to look cute, either. You don't have to find her beautiful by any means (I certainly didn't want a barbie doll as my Inquisitor), but good gosh, she looks like she belongs in a game like this. And a whooole lot of other Inquisitors do, too.

You really looked through hundreds of pages of that "show us your inquisitor" thread and saw not one face that you liked? They definitely didn't all have the same face (though many people were afraid to venture too far from the presets, it was far from all). It's too bad that thread seems to have gotten deleted when the forums were restructured.

Do you mean "pretty like a companion" or "exactly the same as some companion"? I was under impression you meant the first, but if it's the latter, I apologise for misinterpretting your rant.

I see the sames faces, one more ugly than another, but no one of them has "personality".

Please don't take like an offense, but your Elf doesn't look... "real"

This is a game. Of course she wouldn't look real. She runs around with a purple 'tattoo' on her face, has elf ears, a waist that most people can only dream of, her hand glows green and her companions consist of a dwarf, elves, a tall grey mammoth dude with horns and other guys that can either wield swords that are as tall as them or shoot lighting or wake the dead. Of course she doesn't look real - but neither does Solas, or Cassandra, or The Iron Bull.

 

...and, ya know, YOU don't have to play as her. And I like her. So that's fine enough by me. Why don't you show me your Inquisitor? Just so I know what you perceive as beautiful, real and good looking?

I'm not going to criticize what you like or not.
But you can't say she looks like you want, because you know she could be better, look at Cassandra:

6eaScreenShot112114at02.png

 

Better texture, better make up, realistic colors.

Your elf, compared to Cassandra, is a bad mix of colors.

I do not understand the need to be conformist, when you could have a much better elf.

Maybe is just me, because I am not satisfied with a inquisitor with potato face.

So a bit of advice for the next time: if you want to complain about that you can't look exactly like Cassandra or exactly like Cullen, it would be lovely if you didn't whine about not being able to create a intimidating woman or handsome character or badass character. Because it's more likely you'll get replies to what you've actually written insead of what you wanted to.

Chose advanced art course in school. I'm trying to become a game designer one day. This picture of Cassandra has:

 

- different lighting (outside with natural lighting vs. inside with yellow lighting from candles -> totally different overall impression of a picture)

- a different perspective -> you see Cassandra from a bit of a side-angle

- probably higher quality texture, because my laptop can only run the game on medium quality with some high options sprinkled in there

- a team of people that worked on her design, character, textures etc. for months/years; so obviously you cannot compare a character in the making for years to the Inquisitors that were made in the CC; which on its own still has a TON of options, wonderful textures and great sliders

 

Also, please do note that I don't have to give someone colours that you, yourself, like. Different colours do not make a character better, as long as said character didn't have pink hair, yellow eyes, bright red blush and rainbow coloured tatoos beforehand. (and even those have a right to exist and be loved by the people that made them.) My character has kind of dark purple vallaslin, blue eyes and reddish-brown hair. I, myself, had purple hair mixed with brown, once, and have brown eyes. Heck, tomorrow I will walk around with red and orange hair. And I still wear my cyan T-Shirts. Does this mean I could be a better human if I wore only brown T-Shirts as long as I have red-orange hair? No. None of the colours that were used in the making of my character have an effect that is so contrasting that it takes you out of the immersion of the game. If it would have been the case, then I would have remade her character after two hours of playtime. (Also, I'd probably get a headache from looking at her.)

 

Still, if you do not like her, that is fine. But surely you cannot tell me that ALL of the Inquisitors you have EVER seen have such a bad colour pallette that it is completely unreal and immersion breaking. You know, Bioware chose to put all of those colours into the CC. The hair colours, the skin colours etc. If anything, they have a reason to limit that stuff. But what I chose is still in there, so it got the Bioware approval seal.

 

Btw, where is your Inquisitor? I'd like to judge their colour scheme.

I just want the same textures and hair from Cassandra, Cullen, Leliana, Josephine, Sera, Cole, Blackwall, etc for my inquisitor.

The inquisitor looks like the NPCs in the citys and village, very simple and rough

Sweetie, you can't say me your Inquisitor looks better than Cassandra, because she have things your character never going to has, like the textures.
Don't feel offended!
I'm not criticizing your skill on making character!
Maybe you don't understand I'm complaining about how restricted is the character creator to our inquisitor.
What would be the point showing my inquisitor, if im saying EVERY inquisitor looks the same.
If you like your elf, fine!, but you cant deny you are a conformist, because you know she could look more how you really want, at least you wanted that... so... simple...

Please read my entire post carefully, where I downright stated that Cassandra had an entire team of people flocking around her character, her design, her textures etc. Ah, I'm sorry if I lashed out a bit, btw, that wasn't my intention. I just don't get what else you want out of a character creator. Aside from some JRPG's, this has been the best CC I have ever seen. It features a lot of options, with only the hair actually suffering. (I'd love a cool sidecut, but I can't have that, so military cut it is.) I do not think that every character looks the same - and if we could make another Cassandra out of them, then Cassandra, as a character, would be really, really bland. I think the people from Bioware did a fine job. I couldn't ask for more, aside from maybe a slider for muscle and fat ratio and a few more decent hairstyles. If anything, the CC of the next game will probably be better. =)

It's weird that the companions have unique hair, facial hair, and eyebrows (and custom, well blended makeup!) that the PC is restricted from but as far as faces, the CC is extremely robust and you can make a face look however you want it to. Any sub-par results in the face come from a lack of skill in the one making the character.

Which lessens the fact that you can make a good face, sadly. You can make a really nice looking, unique face, but then are stuck with incredibly lackluster hair and eyebrow options, which also means you can't make as many different looking characters either. If the hair was good, this would be the best CC ever.

Most offending they found time to add god knows how many *beard styles for dwarven females* but not a single decent hair for qunari.  I can almost imagine the persons responsible high-fiving each other.  And those eyebrows... Shameful. Truly.
