1000% agree. I made an earlier post about more customization opinions for facial features too. Players should be able to build their vision of a character, not what Larian has deemed each race to be. 150 presets do not go very far when you start limiting them to certain races -- 150 quickly becomes 6 if you wanna play a certain race and chances are none of those available faces will look like how you envisioned your character to look.
I get that Larian thinks using presets will help with the new cinematic dialogues but now I have to watch a character I do not like in all these conversations. Not to mention that in many of the cutscenes my character contorts their face in very unnatural ways and expressions which look extremely awkward. its 2021, we clearly have the technology to allow for actual facial and body customization as it has been done in old games.
I am just super not impressed with what Larian has given us as far as character creation goes, which is sad as I was super excited to see what types of characters I would be able to make in BG3. Turns out not a lot as I have only found 2 faces I like but they go with a race that I do not want to play. Forcing players to stick to presets almost defeats the purpose of character customization. I can spend hours working on creating my perfect character in other games, but I dread making my character in BG3. I don't even wanna try cuz I know it will never look how I want it to. They made it seem like this character creation would be amazing but all they did was add a lot of color options for the same model. You arnt creating your own character, you're making Larian's character.
Idk about other people, but I'd be willing to wait longer for the official release if it meant better, more robust character creation.
