Honestly, I think too many people are opposed to the idea of Charisma affecting you model selections. SHOULD it? From a D&D perspective, it probably should at least a little. Want a pretty or handsome character, boost Charisma. Don't care, lower Charisma.

But it is true that Charisma is more than just looks. It's your ability with words, how you carry yourself, etc. A person who some might consider ugly can actually be attractive if they carry themselves well, exude confidence, smile, etc.

So ultimately, I'd rather they not worry about that. I'd say maybe Larian can create some not necessarily traditionally pretty/handsome models, though, so players can make themselves look not so attractive if they want. Sometimes its fun to create an absolutely crazy and/or ugly looking thug.

I know people don't like comparing to Solasta, but I do like how they have an age progression feature. You can make your character looks pretty grizzly if you want.
