Would you use an external character creator?

I've heard people have copied dat files to/from the benchmark to see truer representations of their characters, and it got me thinking about how that could potentially sidestep the in-game code.

Thoughts?

Rest assured, benchmark uses the exactly same character creation like the live game just with updated graphics. No extra options in there. That is why it is compatible with the game.
No clue how hard would be to add for example a new face to already existing race (with each face has its own choice of nose, eyes, mouth, tribal marks, etc). I guess it has nothing to do with a bad coding or anything, maybe the game engine would strife due to loading more character variables during gameplay.:confused:

Before endwalker i would have agreed with with u about that excuse but with the Endwalker launch problem. (1.0 code issue) And resent Benchmark problem is do to how the character creation's was set up for the ps3 way back(like its been what 7 years since support ended), this excuse dose not bother me so much anymore
