I honestly believe it may be in SE's future to dig in at the Character Creation screen, but it wasn't in the cards for a few reasons:
1. Most of the coding from 2.0 had to match 1.0 or be compatible with 1.0. They talked a lot about this in Beta and I really wish I had saved their forums posts, but 2.0 had been running on the back of 1.0 this entire time and there's a few people from Beta who could tell you 1.0's coding was... really really bad. Any major change to the CC coding probably would have rendered any characters from 1.0 useless.
2. For... some reason.... Legacy characters (Character being moved from 1.0 --> 2.0) appearance data wasn't saved on the convenient character saver. They were saved into the character themselves. Any character option from 1.0 pretty much had to remain or else risk losing what those characters looked like forever. People hadn't seen their characters in over a year at that point, they probably couldn't remember the minute details, but SE did everything that they could to keep those details arounds. It wasn't perfect - My highlander male from 1.0 came to 2.0 with bright red hair instead of brown for instance - but adding sliders could have done some numbers of those characters.
1.0 actually did a number to this game. I am of the firm belief we need to get further out from 1.0 in order to see major changes.
