The scaling system that allows you to tweak various “zone” on the face, hair and body is a good way to morph pretty much all aspects of your character. Once you really dig into customization, you can start veering away from these presets, but it’s a fine line between “good looking” and “monster” at times. Most of my creations end up looking like Kristin Kreuk (though I'm not complaining). For the female Ranger class it’s hard to make your character not look like a gorgeous K-pop star. For the Warrior class, for example, all the preset faces will look like a buff chiseled white dude that resembles a cross between an American Gladiator and Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. What I did find interesting was the relative similarity among the custom faces, which I’m not really used to playing most western games. Whatever, since this is just a creator, I suppose all that doesn’t really matter. This is unlike most games where you can have any gender/race be any class, and there’s probably lore behind this I don’t know about.

In the creator, your characters gender and even general appearance is based on their class alone. I really doubt that will happen with me, but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to fill up all my creation slots all the same. Presumably the point of this release is to get people hooked on the creator and then wanting to see their created characters in the game itself.
