This is the crux of it, right here. SE's character creation is pretty poor. You don't even have to dislike it to acknowledge the fact that it's extremely limited in scope.
Though even then, they should have at least gone the midlander/highlander route. Let the civilized and open Raen be the petite, cute ones (the males, too!), while the nomadic warrior Xaela can have a much more aggressive silhouette and options. Makes lore sense and lets both "sides" get what they want.
At a guess, they might've considered doing that but decided that it wasn't worth the time and effort that could be put into other Heavensward stuff (especially with the Highlanders being significantly less popular than the Midlanders). Obviously some people in the thread disagree with that!
I also strongly believe most of the issues with character creation stem from the 'Character Data Limits' that surely are the fault of continued PS3 support. I hope this won't be as much of an issue once PS3 support is dropped.
