@Black Elk: This sound like a good idea. I do not think we will get it, but it sounds good.
Regarding the last paragraph: Beeing able to go to the apearance selection for a new hair cut sounds fine in the game, but selecting a new head, name or voice does not.
Suggestion: You can go to a barber who changes your look for a few coins. You can find one in towns or you can recruit one for your camp. You can only make cosmetic changes (hair cut, colors, make up, tattoo), no mechanical ones.
@RumRunner: Race/gender must be selected first, class and background later.
First you select a generic member of this race, then the look changes because of class and background, then come stats and skills and finally apearance and name.
Today everything in games should be visualized. You cannot ask the game to show you a fighter without saying what race and gender the fighter should have.
Origin must be the very first selection: If you want to play as Astarion you are already set on a male elf rogue.
