I am sorry if this was brought up... I glanced over some of the posts, might have missed it.
I was kind of disappointed with the character creator. There were instances where I was given tons of choice, such as picking color of anything... skin, hair, eyes. But the body can only be muscular or not. There are no various shapes (maybe even 3 "types" would do, per race). I pictured my character to be short-ish (although I am still putting him taller than normal because I know most guys crank up the hight for their characters so that even "average" guys seem short, which is annoying), muscular and kind of bulky. Unfortunately he looks like a model of a smith, rather than an actual smith.
Lack of facial hair for male midlander faces is also an issue for me. I don't want an old man face just to have a mustache worth having, you know? This coupled with the fact that there is no "age" scale, and my character came out looking younger than I intended. I either plan on toying around more or even possibly trying alternative race/face combos to get it right.
I must say that the scars you can elect to put on the face are a good touch. It makes me wish for body scars. And how about tattoos? That's be cool.
I understand people who may wish to play pretty characters though, even if it doesn't fully make sense given what they do in-game... or they have to create a certain RP background to accomodate the good looks. A lot of gamers (just in general, but I assume RPers too) play for escapism.
