Not everyone can pay a PS4 as of now, or like to play on Computers. I don't mind the fact many options you have to select because I absolutely blows at using sliders to change a character face. Dear god, I should show my Skyrim characters someday.
Now, personally, I'm not sure I agree with that; if the artistic vision of the game is that lalafell are the only androgynous race (and I sure can't tell them apart sometimes), then I don't think the designers should change that to accommodate people. However, since we've already seen that the devs make design choices for reasons other than an artistic vision, one could make an argument for simply adding more creation options, which I think everyone would enjoy...
...at least until the technical limitations of the PS3 come into play. I hate to keep harping on that, but it annoys me that we PC users, as usual, get the shaft due to sharing code with consoles. :/
