June 27th Game Informer article on DA:TV's character creator - cliff notes:
CC is expansive, robust, rich; BioWare's best yet. At its heart is inclusivity
BioWare used it to create most of the NPCs in the game, main chars like companions aside
When browsing through presets, the game allows for more detailed looks at each
Pronouns are separate to gender as a choice
Different body types available
Before exiting Rook can be viewed in 4 different lighting scenes at any time, "including The Veilguard's keynote purple hue, a bright and sunny tropical day, and a gothic night". The team worked hard to quash the issues caused by the green lighting in DA:I's CC
Head and body presets can be selected individually and customized
40 different complexions including smooth, rugged, youthful, freckled
Skin hues range from cool to neutral to warm
Undertones to these skin tones
BioWare engaged consultation to represent people authentically
Vitiligo slider (intensity and amount adjustable)
Sliders for forehead, brow, cheeks, jaw, chin, larynx and scalp
Selectable undergarments, with nudity
The "Body Morpher" involves "select[ing] three presets for each corner of a triangle and then mov[ing] a cursor within it to morph your body or head into a mix of these presets"
Adjust height, shoulder width, chest size, glute and bulge size, hip width, how bloodshot your eyes are, how visible cataracts are, the sclera color, how crooked your nose is, how big its bridge is, the size of nostrils and the nose tip
Many sliders for things like mouth and ears
On ears: you can adjust asymmetry, depth, rotation, earlobe size
For ears you can have cauliflower ear
The makeup blends modern stylings with the fantasy of DA. It has more than 30 options including eyeliner intensity, color, glitter, eye shadow, lips, and blush
Tattoos are a thing. Add them to Rook's face, body, arms, legs. Their intensity is adjustable
"Tattoos, scars, and paint are very culturally relevant to some lineages, BioWare tells me, with unique tattoos for elves, for example"
Hair options: a ton. Hair can be non-traditional colors. Hair is gorgeous. Frostbite uses the Strand system to render "each style fully with physics"
Select qunari Rook's horn type and material - more than 40 options available
4 voices. English masculine, English feminine, American masculine, American feminine. Each has a pitch slider
