    The creation tool is nice, but are there plans to have "Presets" or other sort of premade settings? It's always hard for me to know exactly what I want my character to look like until I see it, that usually takes me 2 hours or more when there are no appearance presets, and I really hate to waste so much time on that. I want to go straight into play, but don't want to end up with a character whose looks I will hate forever. To me, character creation is a sort of obstacle between me and the game. It's something I would rather break through as fast as I can while having fun at it and without regretting the outcome during the rest of the game.

    Other games with this level of customization always offer presets. I usually check all the presets and choose one I like, then make adjustments to it until it looks the way I want. That translates into great looks, more fun, and less wasted time.

    When a game has so many controls, unless there are presets, I almost always get the feeling the character looks exactly the same no matter what controls I adjust. I am not an artist or expert in anatomy, I can't create a mental image of what I want and easily obtain it with those controls. I can't do that from a photo or picture either. Character creation should be quick and enjoyable, currently it is too frustrating and excruciating. Every time I decide to create my character, I spend 1 or 2 hours in the mirror, end up frustrated and just quit. That is what has kept me from returning to the game.

    I gave it another try today, but just straight up hate the current character creation.
