The new mirror feature is fantastic. Totally fixed the problem of character creation analysis paralysis. I use it all the time for small tweaks, like if that hair tint doesn't actually look good in the light, or if I'm simply tired of hearing the same voice.
It's my understanding that we are still unable to use it on companions to prevent degeneracy. Fine.
It has probably been suggested to just allow us to change their hair styles. But, I suppose, that too could lead to some forms of degeneracy. Fine.
Here's what to do- Select 3 hair styles for each companion (and hirelings, please!) that are deemed appropriate and fitting.
That tiny adjustment is all it would take to help the game feel fresh.
Literally just that change would feel like night and day.
We don't need All the agency, just SOME agency, and the companions will be so much more connected in the hearts of the players. I promise.
