Could be, but it is also possible, because it is one of the the first area of the game and it has to look very-very good, detailed or maybe the whole game will look that good...
But yes they look better and more detailed, than some of the characters at the first gameplay, so it is still possible.
I guess, the most complicated is not the detailed look of characters, but the race variant for conversations, and quests. I still hope for Githzerai, as sub-race next to Githyanki...
With mods, you probably could play as other races like lizardfolk ect later on, although not all animations would work for armors/weapons, spells, dash, push ect...
