Agreed! It was mentioned in my OP that even despite those trying to work their hardest to try and make their characters seem more grizzled, you're still going to turn out with a somewhat pretty character if only because the character models are pretty by default. But, there are those of us who choose to go farther with said prettiness and vice-versa.
But, I guess it should be said that the topic can go beyond what's done in the character creator and focus more on what you intend your character to actually look like. This way you're not shoehorned into talking about any kind of visual representation you didn't really want to be in.
I do hope the game allows for more grizzled options at some point, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll just have to stick to my mental images and art.
