I actually dislike sliders because of how much time it takes to make the character look how I want. I appreciate pre-sets for saving me time in character creation and I've always preferred presets for being better quality. Also, no game should be expected to have character creation sliders because of what year it is.
I'm still waiting for Half-Orc, sorcerer, paladin etc. to be available in character creation. That's something I'm really looking forward to.
