[quote]...and I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger issue[/quote] Oh it was, man. It just got lost in the tide of even bigger issues. You're right, for a "modern console/PC only" sequel with clear graphical changes and enhancements, for a straight port of the previous game's character creator to be all we got was awful. I like my characters and I did take time to craft them to the extent that I could. I'm one of the few (sometimes the only one) walking around in the Tower with no helmet. I wish I had more options for sure. Anthem is taking a similar posture with character creation, from what I understand. Not "Dragon Age" robust, but enough to craft a solid character. However, [i]they[/i] did it for a reason; because you're in your mech suit most of the time. And the customizations for the Javelin mech suits are supposed to be INSANE. So we shall see if that satisfies those of us who like a deep character creator engine.
